This topic is for the purpose of discussing #3781: Spikestuff's PSX Bishi Bashi Special "Maximum Score" in 33:53.43

Umm... wow, that's... quite a game. Thanks for the encode, though. I wish I actually understood the goal of more of these stages (especially the one with the girl squatting in the middle lane and racking up a lot of points). Parts of it are fairly entertaining. I especially liked these games: * killing the cockroaches * the Arkanoid-type game * using your red car to knock the yellow cars off the building * car slalom * the game which flips the man's picture a lot Some games looked suboptimal though: * the car on the racetrack didn't look very optimized * the elephant stage with the 9 targets * the car tumbling down the platforms collecting stars looked ok but seemed improvable * in the game where you catch a lot of musclemen on a plate, it seems that you miss a bunch which you could have collected I think that the game is just too long and repetitive to get a Yes. I'd say No outweighs Meh here in terms of entertainment. The next question this raises is: is this run different enough from realtime records? Most of the games can't actually be sped up. I suppose that the ridiculously high score on some stages would make this worthwhile for publication. In fact, I'd say the main goal of this run is "maximum score" more so than "perfect 10"... you could do a little worse than you do on some stages and still get 10's, saving a little time (such as the stage with the cola rocket). Screenshot suggestion: the muscled guy on the pogo stick biting the meat (Stage 29, I think). That's just too darn funny.

* (figured out which level) Honestly that level is a bitch, I made sure I had basically mostly speed I did again being cautious and it was actually slower (it was a copy .pjm file I wasted about 7 hours on that level trying with carefulness so it was speed most of the way). * If I allowed myself to get more I always got a 9 and not a 10 which defeats the purpose. so I had to bump AI elephant into some spots, which was a pain. * Set time so I was like meh, get a good score, parts of it was when I got a flag AI gets +3/+5 one which made me ticked so I "dicked" around having fun with it. * IRC knew my rage. Possible improvement I know but set time again. They wouldn't land so I was like I will do this till I get a high enough score. Fact I got a higher one (about 4 or so higher) and it gave me 8. I missed less too >:(. If any parts are improvable I say "go for it" start one from fresh on hard. Hope that you don't get the car level last. But it's like you wrote suboptimal, only a-few improvements. - I'll change it to "maximum score" - Agree

Alright, thanks for answering. Those concerns about optimization aren't really all that big. The bigger question is really how entertaining the movie is, and I think you did about the best you could.

Thank you very much.

I like It, i hope someone also make Bishi Bashi Special 2 Japanese version which is the Best, Most Bizarre and Fun to watch/play of the 4 Games on PSX (Bishibashi 1, 2, 3, Salary Man) It's nice to find it published :D

I think the stages which produce horrible barrages of sound are 7 and 9, not 8 and 10, since after the first game it says "stage 2" and after those two stages it says "stage 8" and "stage 10". Anyway, I found it quite entertaining... I'm a big fan of these "barrage of minigames" games, and the assortment in this game is... very diverse. If I could understand it I'd love to actually play this with some friends. :)

It's much better then Warioware for sure. More variety and style.

For me, it seems good at first, but it gets old quickly. Spikestuff, I have a couple questions. - Is it possible to choose a mode with less stages? - Is it possible to manipulate the stages to get the better (mostly shorter) minigames? Also, it might be a good idea to do two players. That might be more interesting.

- Maybe, these are all the stages in the game and the mode I chose when I was doing it was the arcade one. (There is a PAL version but the version I actually own is NTSC-J at home so I was unable to translate anything.) Edit: Bishi Bashi Champ, Super Bishi Bashi Champ and Handle Champ (thanks wikipedia) I did Bishi Bashi Champ - I did that to some of them because it was possible to do it to those ones (Elephant stage for example). The 2 player one is a good idea but for what I was trying to accomplish doesn't benefit me especially on the difficulty I was playing on (There is a party type mode).

I liked the enthusiastic announcer voice. Thank to him, I watched this entirely.
