Comments

I decided to TAS this game because it is ridiculous and difficult. I think it is still optimizable on the ride (because I recently found a new glitch that does not need to collide with an enemy, only for "jump into the wall").

Tricks Used in this Run

Damage glitch :

While the first player take a damage with an enemies, you have to jump on its head with the second player. For a moment, the second player is found next to the first player and bellow the vertical position of the first. (the effect is off when the first player leaves the collision mode, the second player finds himself on the head of the first player).

Pass through a soil :

If during this state the second player collides with a wall, he finds himself "detached" from the pull of the first player. And it therefore passes through the soil.

Jump into the wall :

You must perform the glitch next to a wall for trapped the second player into. His vertical position was decremented until it comes out of the wall (or not !!).

Special Thanks

Thanks to all the community for help and the tools to achieve this run.

Noxxa: Judging.
Noxxa: This run is a good showcase of two-player action, with some nice teamwork tactics as well as a few glitches to mix it up. Accepting for Moons.

Good game. It's got the general feel of Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt, and the stages seem pretty good. There's an unfortunate amount of lag most of the times you shoot records to break blocks. The camera motion makes no sense to me; why does it always keep you at the edge of the screen? Also, the record-collecting "Yeah" sound from Super Adventure Island is horrible. You do a good job with the route and keeping the run entertaining! Yes vote.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

Interesting. I used to play the PC version of this game, and I didn't know how different this one was (the games appear to have the same engine but very different levels and graphical style, and a different but very basic plot, and the SNES game has more spikes in it). Looking over Mobygames, it turns out the PC game was released two years earlier and has a sequel which is yet another different set of levels on the same engine, and the Gameboy version again looks different. Anyway, yes vote, and I hope we get the different platforms run at some point too.

I like the game and I like the way you play it, but I vote 'meh' because I don't think it's particularly fun to watch.
No.

I keep at the edge of the screen to initialize the crusher later ( which allows me to spend some crusher without waiting ) The lags during the shooting phase is very difficult to optimize ... And yes ! The record-collecting is horrible !!!!!!

There are 24 levels in 2 player mode and 34 levels in single player. This may be explain the differences between levels.

Nope. There are five 2-player levels in a wholly different style in the PC version. Wouldn't be the first game to get a "port" that's completely different, either.

It's interesting. Especially since the game was released the same year ( 1993 ) on PC version and SNES.

The game itself sucks, but this run seems very well done. Yes vote from me.
effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser

PC version is from 1991, actually.

You make reference to the game ''Blues brothers'' released in 1991 on PC and in 1992 on the NES . The version of this run is released in 1993 on PC and SNES ( The Blues Brothers : Jukebox Adventure)

I'm happy if I've been helpful :) But the choice of making it a 2 player run (after getting feedback from a single player test run) was entirely yours. I think that was wise for entertainment and didn't expect that, for some reason.

I chose the 2 player mode for 2 reason : for programming bugs (between 2 player interraction) , and the easier to entertainment. By the way, I'm working in the single player run.
