So I went to take a stab at this, but then realized that much of the game relies on randomly placed events. The placement of the ponies, and the crystals needed to free them, are determined at the start of the game. This means that the best time is less about route planning and whatnot and more about hardcore RNG control right at the beginning. Sadly, I am not equipped with the needed skills to deal with this. Just thought I'd get the game out there though. Edit: For reference! Link to video
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

Surprisingly, this game might actually make a nice TAS. I wish I could help with the RNG. At least we could try finding some RAM addresses for the pony/crystal locations and see how they behave.

I have the same problem with many potential projects. Most of the time I know what needs to be done with the game, but I can't write scripts for solving the required tasks.
