Great! I hope NitroGenesis hasn't left yet. Maybe I should PM him your WIP just in case he doesn't check this topic.

OK, then I'll start working on Rock Bottom and Dutch Under (from a savestate-anchored movie). It looks like we might get close to subbing 6 minutes (!). Well, since jlun2's computer is broken, and you (NitroGenesis) are on vacation, I'll submit the improvement once I finish the game. Assuming that's OK with both of you; you should be able to edit the submission and add your own comments if you want to.

Mind posting on another site? Microstorage seems to be down.

I tried the movie on both VBA24-alpha and 24-vbam, and everything syncs except the last Start button press to skip the "You got an oven knob" screen. After delaying that a few frames and losing the one frame in switching items (new run needs to go up and right to select Spring Shoes, instead of down), we are now 761 frames ahead of jlun2's submission at selecting the spring shoes for Rock Bottom.

Ok. 761 frames, which is 12.68. Close enough. Is there any time to be saved in RB and DU?

Yes, I saved 3 frames in Rock Bottom just now. Sorry it took so long, but because the platform at the beginning of the level was too far away to land on, I had to find a completely new route. EDIT: I tried to save more frames, but I couldn't. Anyway, here's Rock Bottom in case you wanted to try saving frames there. I'll start working on Dutch Under to the end (I know 5 frames can be saved in jumping to the spatula after the Flying Dutchman battle).

CoolKirby, once you're done with the game, can you please post the wip here? Just in case if there's any last minute improvements.

No problem, I was planning to do that anyway. If you or NitroGenesis would rather make the submission text, let me know, otherwise I would like to make it.

Here it is! I saved the 3 frames in Rock Bottom, plus 17 frames in Dutch Under, for a total of 20 frames saved between the two areas. It's 4759 frames ahead of the published run and 781 frames (over 13 seconds!) ahead of jlun2's latest submission. The movie time is 6:02.45. Feel free to try to improve it.

Looks good to me. Nice route in Rock Bottom. And I will be able to edit the submission text at any time because I'm VE. Not sure about jlun2. I think you should submit it.

Well, I managed to save 5 frames (3 from SpongeBob's Block, 2 from Goo Lagoon) from the beginning of the game. I wasn't able to save any more frames, so I'll start making the submission text. It would have been great if we were able to sub 6 minutes (we were only 143 frames away), but at least we have a solid, optimized improvement. EDIT: NitroGenesis, I will be submitting the run soon, so you can start encoding it now if you want.

Sorry it took me so long to submit, but every time I tried to connect to the site these past few hours, I got a 500 Internal Server Error. Anyway, here's the submission: #3269: CoolKirby, NitroGenesis & jlun2's GBC SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula in 06:02.37

Nothing new for this game, but I converted every completed TAS of this game into BizHawk 1.8.4's BK2 format, with relevant notes from our submission texts in each movie's Comments.txt. I meant to also include the latest version of my "Debug Code" TAS, but I forgot to, so it has been uploaded here. Since VBA is old and deprecated, I decided to sync all our work on the latest emulator with the more accurate emulation. I hope anyone who enjoyed our runs can enjoy re-watching them for the next few years in BizHawk.

Me too. :/ But I don't know what we can do once all of the possible improvements have been made. At least there are lots of other TASable SpongeBob games, like the GBA ones and Supersponge for PSX.

In addition to the GC titles, although those are completely different.
effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser
