We've had plenty of Home Alone publications earlier this year. Why not the Home Alone 1 and 2 GB? I'm also interested in Antz Racing for GBC. I don't know if it would make the most interesting TAS, though. It's a fairly straightforward racing game, and the only noteworthy power-ups just increase your speed.

Dangan GB2, a GBC homebrew bullet hell boss rush. Sequel to Dangan GB, just 6 bullet hell bosses. I don't believe there is a difference between the 2 characters, other than the special weapon. One had a screen clear bomb, other has a 3 second shield. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PbLBgXP-Dg Game freely available here, https://snorpung.itch.io/dangan-gb2

Pitfall: Beyond the Jungle, platformer. Has committed jumps and insta death fall damage. The run is mostly managing damage, you can only take a few hits, and making the earliest cycles you can. Vines and steam/fire are on global timers from the level starting, and at least for the vines I think I'm making the earliest cycles, but maybe there's another one somewhere.

Santa Claus Junior, Christmas themed platformer. There is a TAS for the GBA version, but that is a different game, this one is a good bit shorter. You just need to make to it the exit of every level. You get an extra life and instant health refill for collecting 25 candy canes, so I routed to get it after a bunch of intentional damage. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN7pM-X9_yw

Great looking game, I'll definitely TAS it for next year Christmas!
Games are basically math with a visual representation of this math, that's why I make the scripts, to re-see games as math. My things: YouTube, GitHub, Pastebin, Twitter

Super Hunchback on GB, a regular platformer. You only need to reach the bell at the end of the screen. There are some things I don't understand about the game, seemingly certain projectiles are on some kind of full game global timer? They varied run to run so I'm not sure if it's global or not. There are also warp zones that appear, I'm forced to enter one at the start of Stage 5, but I think you can somehow manipulate them to not be in your way. Collecting the letters EXTRA will give you another life, idk if taking deaths to make the score countdown lower is potentially faster. The skip on the final area of Stage 6, that I use a cannonball for, can be done by just making jumps, but they were a little too tight for me. The platform cycle at the start of the last area of Stage 7 can be made by not slowing down, but not knowing where the fireballs were going to be made it risky to go for. Nice set of maps for every level - http://radiopoultry.com/oldgames/maps/SuperHunchback/ RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvdlLiz_J1A

Tarzan for GBC might be a good one to TAS, its a simple platformer, there's a double jump glitch you can get if you jump again after jumping once and still being near the florr, and holding L+R plus other buttons glitch the sprites, maybe something can come from that.

Looked into Super Hunchback, everything seems to be on a global timer, the variations between runs probably come from jumping into the bells at the end of each level, the level transistions start earlier if hunchback lands earlier, which depend on the jump you do to grab the bell.

Slime Trials, a really short game from the recent 2023 GB Compo. Platformer with grappling/swinging. You can get some really fast momentum sometimes off really short swings. I also managed to barely clip into a wall, not sure it's useful. Game - https://canight.itch.io/slime-trials RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuuHoDi0_JM
