Fun game. ferb is fast. details later. Ok... I finnalley can fullfill info about this game. Its very fun to play, and I was thinking in making a full movie out of it, I already have some strats to get started. First, its kinda similar to Spongebob's Truth or Square, since both games were ported to the DS by Naltron. Now, my strats so far: -Perry is the fastest during normal movement. -With Ferb, charging your A attack will unleash a speed boost that will make x2 the speed of Perry, making Ferb on the charge attack the fastest character. -Phineas can shoot balls multiple times in the air with a special attack, he can kill the bosses and enemies and press switches faster than anyone else. -You can double-jump while falling with any character. -When the camera freezes during a cutscene, you can shoot projectiles at the right timing to damage enemies faster. (Doesn't work all the time.) -The fastest way to switch characters is to stop and in the earliest frame switch to another character and then move forward. -Your weapons get upgraded throughout the game, so Ferb's speed boost endures more than usual. -You can range your moves to get a greater effect. -Skipping Mayor Monogram's advices is a pain. I haven't searched for any addresses (yet), but I made a test movie a long time ago, which is right here, and it sucks. Planning to do this later, but if someone else wants to do it, go ahead. EDIT: So I checked the speedrun.com leaderboards, and the WR is about 3 hours and 13 minutes... yikes... that is REALLY long.

Link to video In the tutorial level you're supposed to shoot at the big red button with Phineas' baseballs to progress, but you can just skip it with a precise clip out of bounds. It has really wacky side-effects though as you can see in the video. For example, the Mayor Monogram textboxes freak out and then you lose collision with walls. Unfortunately, you're unable to beat the level because there's a section where you have to use Perry to climb a wall, but since you lose collision, you're stuck. Also you can fall indefifitely in a strange void and you have to quit the game and reset the tutorial. However, you can restore collision if you talk to a Monogram hologram first before you advance to the section where it glitches out.

Link to video A World 1 "NG+" TAS. Could be better in a few spots but I'm still pleasantly surprised that some sort of TAS even exists for this game.
