Some level-wrap abuse for level-wrap lovers
Link to video
Act 1 can be improved to 0:12.57, lazy to redo it, but the others should be fine.
Please, avoid watching it if you prefer glitchless. Yes, this run shows mostly score counts.

At 1:16 in your video, you use very small height for glide-glitching through the horizontal door; however, in many other places you climb quite high for performing that trick. If you record that successful jump’s data (Y subpixel position + jump length + character state [rolling/running]), you will be able to redo it in the other places. I also noticed going back in some places.

I'ts okay it was intentional, I was testing heights for the glide glitch and exploring the map, make annotations, and this hack was perfect for this, it was for fun :3

I am still working on Marble Garden zone in my Amy@S3K TAS. It’s so much labyrinth-like, and there are many places which look like possible shortcuts, but trying to perform stair clip always fails. Extremely frustrating stage.

SuperFlomm,
As you requested, I’ve made a tool-assisted speedrun of Somari the Adventurer. Yes, specially for you.
Boring? I think it is. But well, that was your choice, which I was able to TAS.
I didn’t want to go for a glitchless run, because it would turn into a huge project then.

Next time do a tool-assisted speedrun of something specially for me ^^

why spindashing in a wall causes a level wrap?
This glitch is introduced in some hacks; it’s not present in the original games. The mechanism is: when you go offscreen horizontally, the camera starts scrolling right, not depending on your actual position (even if you are to the left of the visible area). As soon as it reaches the boss (or the end of the stage), it locks and forces the character’s X position to be within that area. So, you only need to adjust your Y position.
In fact, you can trigger this glitch even without spindash, if you overrun the left side of the viewport. But in this hack there are no places where it’s useful. An example of hack where it’s useful is this — here you cannot perform this glitch by intense spindashes, but can overrun the screen, as I’ve said. Another example, where both ways are working, is this one.
You can also activate slope/gravity glitch and appear higher in the boss area, by staying on an object at the moment of performing the camera glitch; it is very easy in GHZ3, for example; but I found it useless — it’s 10 frames slower than what I did.

I’ve improved Hydrocity 2 (Amy@S3K) by 1 frame today.
The work is slow, but at least every single act is improved to date :)
Still working on MGZ though.
Sandopolis 1 will get a HUGE shortcut thanks to Evil_3D’s discovery. Sandopolis 2 will probably also be improved, as I also found some shortcuts, hopefully the moving objects with their frame rules will not ruin the improvement.
(upd)this is a testrun of MGZ, up to the boss (I am still not sure if it’s possible or not to enter the boss room without the speed boots). It’s about 2 seconds faster than the current published version and uses a totally different route. I’m still not sure if this route is good enough, this zone is like a huge labyrinth.

I don't remember if I tell you this, but if not sorry, I found a new route in MGZ1 and my time is 0:46.24.
I save my notes about this new route luckily and is possible the last stair clip without the speed shoes.
This is a direct copy-paste from my notes

Is possible stair clip without speed shoes
Step 1: you need to start spindash in position 14709:200
Step 2: 1 frame jump at 14996:90
Step 3: stair clip at 15050:97 and my Y possition is 1583:94
0:46.24 is my final time but the run is a test one, not very optimized, I think around 45 or 44 secs or less is possible, I surely forgot to improve this in the future
Here is my gmv+save

Maybe this help you, for me this is the more lineal and fast route for she in this big level, only need more optimisation

Thank you! I’ve checked it out, the route is similar to mine, but yeah, it is more straight-forward and thus looks more reasonable. I’ll do an optimized version of it soon, and tell you guys the result.
(upd) I got 0:45.21 in my testrun, here it is:

I will probably improve it later, thank you once again for showing me this route, it’s already 6 in-game time units faster than the current published version, which is already impressive :)
