Does this game have any potential for a TAS?

Might be too long for a tas... the SDA record is just shy of 5 hours, I dont know how that sounds to anyone else, but that might just be too long for my feeble attention span. Here is hopeing for a major shortcut to keep a run in the sub-3 hour range!

this game is great, and the 5ish hour run didn't even make me 1 bit tired, so a 4ish hour TAS would still be great. I'm all for it!

Sami, when you finish Banjo Kazooie you think you try this one? mastery of the first game would surely lead to mastery of this one, your WIPs on Banjo Kazooie are awesome.

mupen64 is long overdue for an update. For one I'd still love for it to auto-split avi's into 2GB chunks instead of corrupting themselves after getting too big. Secondly Banjo-Tooie cannot be TASed or even played normally because the plateau fire egg switch cannot be activated to open the gate to the witchyworld area.

It also did not work for me either, the entire *LLLLOOOOOONNNNGGG* intro played perfect and as soon as Banjo can start playing the screen went black, and I can hear Banjo doing the actions as I played them. I also think that, besides upgrading the compatability, the many games that experience frequent desynchs get solved with a new Mupen patch. I guarantee N64 TASing will REALLY pick up once that hurdle is fixed.

Ok, scratch that, maybe this game isn't a good TAS choice.

If you don't want a really long run, may I suggest a run using the in-game cheat codes? The run on SDA is only 56 minutes for that, and I have a 53 on tape that I'll send in soon. It's quite possible that TAS could take it down to, say, 45 minutes. I'd watch it!

They killed the Mole in the intro... as Kazooie says though, he's not the favorite character so it's ok. But still, what were they thinking?

And they replaced him with that dumb army guy who thinks that "zee" rhymes with "red"!

There are definitely exploitable collision-detection glitches in this game. For example, in Cloud Cuckooland, it is possible to get into the jello castle without turning into solo Banjo, by doing a flying attack through a polygon seam (I don't think you can get out, however).

if anyone is planning on tasing this game, in mayhem temple, you can collect the jinjo above the grip grab by kicking it with the gold statue. i would show you, but i don't have the rom

I tried it and it worked fine. Jabo's.

But did you read the post above that? "Banjo-Tooie cannot be [played on mupen] because the plateau fire egg switch cannot be activated to open the gate to the witchyworld area." Or can you get that to work too?

This game would be awesome to watch, just like banjo kazooie will be!

But did you read the post above yours? It's nice and all to fantasize how cool it would look, but until the playability issues are solved, just ignore this game.

Ya, mupen is a good emulator but it needs to have better compatibility.

Banjo-Tooie is a great game that needs a TAS. I'd watch it regardless of length.

Except it's not even possible to boot up the rom much like with DK64.
