When the timing is right and Leeper is on his way to the bottom you can move that block away and trap Don if you like, but technically you don't need to trap him (and for the sake of the TAS's entertainment I recommend we do not) since Lolo can safely hide out in half of the rightmost heart in the worst case. I also don't see what this has to do with Snakey reappearing since there is another emerald block there and you have plenty of time to move it onto Snakey's spot.
About 3-4... You are talking about exploiting rocky twice in your improvements-list, hanzou. I've played around with 3-4 a little while now, and I think that doing that is not possible, or at least very, very hard. You see, if you pass the center using the the rocky as a shield, he will immediately turn up and then turn right, after you have passed the statue. The only way to use him as a shield twice would be to on some way manipulate him to walk differently.
Here is a list of tricks in Lolo 2 which could be classified as true glitches: - Rocky walks through Lolo - Gol fire prevention (so far seen only on PROD) - Use egg + enemy to half-walk on water - Use egg + egg to sit on water (e.g. level 7-3) Probably only the first one, if any, could be applied at some point to save time on the regular 50 levels.
Isn't the "Medusa safe spot" from the previous games still there? Somebody should check.
I also noticed Baxter took advantage of a spot in the Adventures of Lolo levels where the Medusas don't kill you, but I couldn't find a spot like that in Eggerland. Oh well.
Here's Baxter kicking butt with Lala on PROD.
Lala defeats the great devil and rescues her boyfriend only to find him somewhat unusually dressed. Too bad I chose the Lolo 3 style of Lala's ribbon on her left (viewer's right) instead of the Lolo 2 ending style of it on the other side, because otherwise I actually could have prevented Lolo from looking so fruity.
I think it worked in Eggerland: Meikyuu no Fukkatsu.
-hanzouI just thought of something for C-5. What if there was some crazy way to make leeper block the 2nd medusa statue,
... would snakey reappear next to the first medusa? O_o
Here's 7-4 done 12 frames faster: http://files.upl.silentwhisper.net/upload3/7-4.zip Was this what you meant, or did I miss something?
-hanzouHey man, that zip file is empty!
Bad part is that it's probably only a couple frames faster because even when half a square away the vaporizing skull still gets in the way! I'm sure there's a better solution.
edit: Significantly better-looking and faster strategy that could maybe even be frame-optimized a little. Grab top-right heart last then do as shown in the pictures, saves about two squares of walking!
