flygon: Rejected for being an April Fools submission that isn't even optimized, it is also the 2nd of April in my timezone, so yeah.
This is also going to be the last time I will be abusing this bug (Barring Art Alive!, which is being put back into the Gruefood as well when I finish this edit).

It sounded like you missed with the brush several times, but I could be mistaken. I also think the brush route could be faster (it would make a pretty fun mathematical problem to find the fastest brush route). I'm not sure it actually "beats" the game since it colors the picture arbirtrary and not how it's supposed to (not that it would be much funnier this was). Besides these points, it was about as good as Color a Dinosaur.

If rerecords are used to reduce the amount of misses, then surely a negative amount of rerecords will add mistakes. It's unavoidable.

Ah, Thomas the Tank Engine on acid. Just what we always needed...
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.

I re-watched it again to be sure before posting but...I didn't see any dinosaurs. Voting NO for failing to color dinosaurs, but keep trying harder! With enough perseverance and intestinal fortitude you will color those dinosaurs yet!
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

It's not grass, it's just strangely shaped water.

I can honestly say that this is THE BEST TAS I'VE SEEN this month so far.
I'm just some random guy. Don't let my words get you riled - I have my opinions but they're only mine.

Just for the record, this game is actually a potentially serious TASing candidate... all I did was play a minigame inside of it. Have a fiddle around for yourself to see what I mean.

Voting no because I saw two subpixels you could have optimized. Clearly, this is a terrible TAS that should never have seen the light of day. ;)
