I don't see anything in this discussion that suggests to do so.

adelikat: Verdict: This is accepted and will obsolete the NES Adventure Island. The precedent in regards to cross platform remakes is that the original is preferred. In addition, Wonderboy seems somewhat better suited for TASing. Bisqwit: Processing. With adelikat.

This post is mainly in response to adelikats post. I took the time to watch FODA's Adventure Island 1 TAS to compare with Wonderboy. I wholeheartedly tried to be objective as possible. Here are my conclusions/differences I found: The length of the bonus scene are somewhat the same. The graphic looks way better in wonderboy. I remember someone in IRC or elsewhere complained about the music in Wonderboy. Well if you take a look at Adventure Island 1, the music there does not offer variety. In Adventure Island, you can apparently destroy the rocks (even the big ones), which you cannot do in Wonderboy. Now this may seem like a very minor thing, but, if you look at my run, the rocks certainly caused more difficulty. Certain jumps must be pretty perfect in order not to bump into a rock and lose your skateboard. It appears that you have a stronger weapon in Adventure Island, which naturally makes things a lot easier for the author (FODA, in this case). Like destroying rocks, killing enemies and obviously the bosses. Adelikat complained about the lag in my run. There is noticable lag in area 3-4, 7-4, 4-4, 8-1 and 8-2 in the Adventure Island run. Seems like you travel slightly faster using the skateboard in wonderboy than in adventure island, which makes it a bit more difficult for the author of wonderboy (ME!) to maintain top speed. I hardly breathe in my run, I always seem to be jumping (to avoid getting hit, cause less lag and avoid fruits) to maintain top speed. With other words, the difficulty to maintain top speed in Wonderboy should be considered to be more harder than in Adventure Island. I seem to have used the skateboard more, even though I went through more stages. The character in Adventure Island looks different (different hair color and face), seem to move a touch slower than Tom-Tom in Wonderboy. There seemed to be more slowdowns between the moving platforms in Adventure Island than in Wonderboy.
