Hello fellow SMW TAS enthusiasts! This game is awesome and I have followed this thread from the beginning and decided to finally post. I'm assuming that both runs will not be unveiled until they are finished, which is fine. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me the progress on any of the runs, or some sort of estimated time they will be completed. Thanks in advance for this information and good luck to everyone involved in these runs!

The 86-exit Small-Only run being done by myself and skamastaG is currently at SW5. This is the route: 1. YI1 2. YI2 3. YI3 4. YI4 5. C#1 6. DP1 key exit 7. DS1 Gate 8. DGH 9. DP3 10. DP4 11. C#2 12. VD1 Key 13. VS1 Key 14. SW2 Key 15. SW3 Key 16. SW4 Key 17. SW5 Gate 18. SW5 Key 19. Gnarly 20. Tubular 21. Way Cool 22. Awesome 23. Groovy 24. Mondo 25. Outrageous 26. Funky 27. DP1 Gate 28. DP2 Key 29. DP2 Gate 30. DS1 Key 31. DSH SW exit 32. DSH DS2 exit 33. DS2 34. VD1 Gate 35. VD2 Key 36. VD2Gate 37. VGH 38. VD3 39. VD4 40. C#3 41. CBA CM exit 42. CM 43. C#4 44. FoI1 Key 45. FGH FoI1 exit 46. FoI1 Gate 47. FoI2 Key 48. FoI2 Gate 49. FoI3 Gate 50. FGH FoI4 exit 51. FoI4 Key 52. FoI5 53. FF 54. SW4 Gate 55. SW3 Gate 56. SW2 Gate 57. VS1 Gate 58. VS2 59. VS3 60. VF 61. BB1 62. BB2 63. FoI4 64. FoI3 Key 65. C#5 66. CI1 67. CGH 68. CI2 Key 69. CS 70. CI2 Gate 71. CI3 Gate 72. CI3 CF exit 73. CF 74. C4 75. C5 76. C#6 77. SGS 78. VoB1 79. VoB2 Gate 80. VGH Key 81. C#7 82. VGH Gate 83. VoB3 84. VoB4 Gate 85. VoB2 Key 86. VF So about 1/5 of the way done, and progress has been pretty good lately, so I would say anywhere from 3-6 months until its done.

Just wondering, what is the purpose of a 86-exit Small-Only run when we have Fabians 96 exit run?

A small only run is very different from a regular 100% run. This small run is going to be great AngerFist, very different and very very good.

Two words: "No Cape". Which is instantly good for me.

The cape is in of itself very good to watch. However, we viewers have become completely accustomed to watching cape shortcuts, since the 120 run and 11 run use them exclusively. As seen in the very tempting castle run, alternate shortcuts that normally weren't thought possible with tiny Mario look pleasing because we're used to seeing the cape bypass such obstacles.

Nothing is very good to watch by itself, it's all about the environment and the circumstances of the usage. In SMW, it's (IMO) overabused to the point that every more or less straight stage consists only of a couple of "PWEE!"s to the nearest exit. Just watching Mario's sprite on the scrolling backgroung isn't very good at all. On the other hand, it's not nearly as bad in SDW because the stages there are a lot more interesting and complex per se, so the cape doesn't bring that much dissonance (again, in my opinion).

Since JXQ mentioned that somebody was working on an improvement to the SDW 120-exit run, I thought I should come forward. I've been working on an improvement to that run for a couple of months, now. I am about 1:15 into the run, and am 46 seconds ahead as of the Red Switch Palace. So... I thought that the other person improving this run and I should collaborate, or at least exchange information as to the progress and tricks in each of our runs.

Chef, if you want to I'd be interested in checking your run out. If you'd like to send it I'll PM you my email address or something. It's an unfortunate situation though, that two people have been working on the same run since we didn't know you were doing it.

I guess I should have come forward sooner... I was only working on this as a fun side project that I would eventually submit. Edit: I've been PM'ing with jimsfriend, and after watching his run, I have decided to let him continue working, without my help. He has a lot of unexpected tricks and glitches in his run... My run wasn't nearly as interesting, nor as fast. With that said, I've decided to post my run for your interest. As stated in a previous post, it goes up to the Red Switch Palace, and is 46 seconds ahead of JXQ & Fabian's run. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/2950/Hex-test.smv Two of the most major tricks I used were: left/right in Sky World 2, and skipping the p-switch in Pipe World 2. Other than that, I just followed and optimized JXQ and Fabian's run. Expect much more from jimsfriend's run - I won't spoil any of the clever tricks he uses. I hope everybody enjoys my run as a sort of teaser for jimsfriend's completed run :)

You used my other idea in the Blue Switch Palace! That made me happy to see :) This run is very very well made and I think it's really unfortunate this happened. Good job Chef, I also thought the Red Switch Palace (all I can comment on are switch palaces?) was very clever.

I'm watching your run at the moment, have just beat the blue switch palace, nice :D! I really enjoy this, as I did with JXQ and Fabian's run. Well made Chef. If you are quitting on this you can always improve any of the LA runs, haha^^. EDIT: Was reading through the routes to the Small Only only.. I was wondering.. Why aren't the switch palaces included in the route?:O

Because they make some levels that should be "impossible" as small really simple. So we decided not to include them, since they kinda go against what makes a small run cool.

Switch palaces are a type of upgrade which defeats the purpose of a "no upgrades that make levels easier" (such as cape, yoshi, etc) run.

Could people please Seed the current 96 Exit TAS by Fabian? I haven't downloaded it yet, and I'd like to download it. Thanks in advance! ^^ EDIT: Thanks to some people seeding, I am at 26%, but we need more Seeds! Otherwise it's going to take days to download. ;3

I usually (well, sometimes) seed it when I'm awake, and I have a very fast connection so there should be no problems when I'm seeding.

if it takes too long downloading the avi version, just download emulator and smv, then play it
