I searched and didn't see a topic about this. Don't judge my knowledge or lack thereof, because I haven't really played the game in years actually, but definitely remember the good ol' days of it. I just thought I'd bring up some discussion about it. The thing I'd most like to see/make of TASing this game is a 100% TAS of it. I'm not really sure what would be considered any% of either the first Boom Blox or of Bash Party (like I said, haven't played this in years, don't judge if I'm wrong). The games mostly consist of strategy levels of you throwing balls, using slingshots and such, and taking down certain blocks in certain ways to fit the level objectives. There are certain medals you can win per level, depending on the requirements of the level; for instance, maybe if you complete level blank in 2 throws, you get Gold, 4 throws you get Silver, 7 throws you get Bronze. With the levels, you can continue to unlock more and more things, especially for the Create Modes of the games. The game consists a lot of Wii remote shaking, and I'm not really sure how well this is coming along in Dolphin, so not sure if this can be TASed yet. A TAS of these games would be extremely entertaining, because the levels could theoretically be completed in like 2-4 seconds each if done just right, with TAS-level of skill, because it's all just point and throw, and you also have to rely on the amount of time it takes for items to fall and such. I estimate around 20-30 minutes for 100% actually. I may be wrong, but that's my best guess. What do you guys think/know? I haven't even found a speedrun of this game yet, but I haven't really searched THAT hard for one either. Definitely not a TAS of it though. The games are fun and cool though (I own both games), and I'd love to see it TASed. If I am able to get used to using Dolphin I may just do it myself, or maybe with the help of someone else if they're interested.
