Game objectives

  • Luck manippulation
  • Genre: Action
  • Emulator used: Snes9x-1.51 improvement5.2-win32

Comments

Why else would a game of bomberman? Because Super Bomberman 4 is a favorite of most players. His stages are short, finished in 8 seconds on average. The interaction of 2 players is better than in Bomberman 1. In Bomberman 1, the players are invincible to most of the time, which does not happen here. Bomberman 2 is a completely different game and with long stages. I see no reason for not publishing Bomberman 4, since there are many versions of this site for a single game, for example Casttlevania and Metroid.
Stage times (remaining time) 1-1= 2:43
1-2= 2:52 (warp)
1-3= 3:53
1-4= 3:47
1-5= 3:45
1-6= 3:53
2-1= 3:53
2-2= 3:52
2-3= 3:54
2-4= 3:50
2-5= 3:50
2-6= 3:54
3-1= 3:51
3-2= 3:52
3-3= 3:53
3-4= 3:51
3-5= 3:52
3-6= 3:57 (warp)
4-1= 3:53
4-2= 3:52
4-3= 3:53
4-4= 3:55 (warp)
4-5= 3:51
4-6= 3:52
Manipulation of luck - the boss of stage 3-8 for him to shoot missiles only, allowing two hits at a time
Some lags occurred to demonstrate the hyper-bomb.

Nach: Nice entertaining run. Accepting as first run for this game.

Hmm. I don't know how you can use a rom with the .snes file exstension on snes9x. It always tells me that it can't handle the file extension.

Use the file extensions .sfc or .smc for the ROM.

In comparing just times with your old run, I notice that the following levels are supposedly slower: 1-4 3-5 You mentioned something about a time item in the prior attempt. Care to explain why it was not used in this one?

I do not know why I vote yes or no on the passing of 2896 frames of your own submission. Let's see what happens. First of all axelito submit super bomberman 4 in 23:23, and Juancito87 in 22:04 and then so until it is published. It's strange no? I see in the areas 1-2 3-6 4-4 wwmarx uses warps, presumably to make it faster, except in 1-2 that collects items I have also noticed that the levels 1-4 3-5 is very slow according says Sir VG It may be true. But we will see the public says Suggested screenshot:

Good job wwmarx! This run looked a lot better than previous ones. In particular, the stage 4 boss looked less laggy this time. Also, two players are definitely more entertaining. I think it would have been fine to do the hyper bomb only once, but it was still cool. Yes vote!
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

Use of two players seems to have made a massive time difference, and definitely makes this game more interesting to watch. On the assumption that this run is meant to complete the game as fast as possible in real time, using the time stop item or not is irrelevant, and we shouldn't worry about the times in 1-4 and 3-5. On that assumption, I'm voting yes.

It's definitely an improvement over the previous attempt...but I still found myself watching the second and third worlds at double speed, and then giving up after that point. I guess I just don't find TASes of this game entertaining. Seemed a decent effort, though. Voting meh. Thanks for the encode, sgrunt.

Thanks for the run and encode respectively, wwmarx and sgrunt. I greatly enjoyed this, not having seen previous SB4 runs (and - I realise - not being very familiar with this version. I didn't even know players could throw each other and combine bombs!) I found myself trying to work out ahead of time what you were going to do, sometimes managing to guess, usually being surprised. This lasted the entire game, keeping my mind busy and entertained. I wish the intro were a bit shorter relative to the levels but that's unavoidable. (Though perhaps a point in favour of a Saturn Bomberman run if that is possible?) The first time I saw level 2-1, I was so surprised I had to watch it thrice immediately. Definite yes.
I'm just some random guy. Don't let my words get you riled - I have my opinions but they're only mine.
