This is an interesting game with a bunch of potential. The game has an infinite jump exploit which naturally allows for a lot of skips throughout the run. The game has a couple of theoretical huge skips which could cut out a significant portion of the run if ways to perform them were found. The first of which is in the second part of level 2. There are two doors at the end of the section. One door opens which takes you to the next part of the level. The next door however is locked at this point in the game. The second door takes you to a section you normally don't go to until you finish level 3. If you could find a way to enter the door early, that could be huge if it works, saving somewhere inbetween 10-15 minutes as a guess. An exploit to enter blocked doors would also allow for more skips throughout the run. The second big theoretical skip is in WCW, the 4th level. You normally have to complete 4 mini-games in order to open the door to the next level (this door is a horizontal barrier). If you could get past the door without having to beat the mini-games, you can skip to the next level (I have verified that this would work). This would save close to 10 minutes but I don't know how this could be achieved. You can't infinite jump OOB and you couldn't theoretically zip through the door. It seems like the only way to make this work is to somehow clip into the floor by the door where you can then jump into the trigger. There is currently no known way to clip in this game and there isn't a lot to work with by the door. The current RTA WR is just over 1 hour and 10 minutes. A TAS could probably finish the game in 50-60 minutes but that could potentially be way lower if those major skips are possible.

I have made a TAS demo which plays through the first half of level 1. I'm not planning on TASing the whole game but I would definitely be happy to potentially work with others on this game. User movie #639194474636615117 Encode: Link to video
