Current progress in the TAS. Haven't worked on it in a while, but hopefully my hiatus from it doesn't last too much longer. I'm at the final stretch!

10 frames saved in AfterCataBath. Not sure why 10 instead of 7 though, considering I copy+pasted the inputs from the "all coins" TAS, but ok.

I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner, but turns out, you can just skip the elevator in The Hidden Pyramids by switching to the Scarab Ingot early. I'm a little upset that the final time isn't 18:18 for 18 levels anymore tho lol :P

8 frame improvement done by equipping the Moon Ingot after hitting the switch in The Hidden Pyramids. Results in Larry getting stuck in the air, allowing him to drop to the lower level without having to jump down.

Saves 10 frames in The Hidden Pyramids, but loses 2 frames due to lag.

So close to finishing this! Just three levels left! And they're probably going to be some of the hardest ones to do.

Full list of improvements:

Lift-off: -27f
One Giant Leap: -96f
Aces of the Clouds: -98f
Discover the Moon: -97f (+1f)
Dig Into Fossils: -112f
When Dinosaurs Ruled: -139f
Extinction Theory: -613f
Forgotten Cities: -1005f
The Forgotten Empire: -1010f
The Great Wall: -1066f
The Great Climb: -1065f (+1f)
Fireworks: -1234f
Celebrating Modernism: -1285f
The Great Surrealists: -1310f
Pop Art Showdown: -1462f

Notable timesaves:

Pressing B to recover from ledge grabs faster.
Doing the ending of When Dinosaurs Ruled in one jump instead of two.
Destroying the last CurseWall without detouring to the next Golden Shrine in Extinction Theory.
Cutscene skip in Forgotten Cities.
Using the Scarab Ingot's coyote time to jump under Al Capone in Fireworks.
Finding a set-up to get to the Moon Ingot spot faster in Celebrating Modernism.
Doing one less jump in the straightaway in The Great Surrealists to keep more speed.
Clipping through the ceiling in the Ivan the Terrible fight in Pop Art Showdown.

(The previous TAS doesn't include the last three levels here. I'll probably make a comparison video soon.)

Was analyzing my WIP last night and tried to think of places where I could save time. You can't do a lot in the first level because of platform cycles, and what I tried in the second level didn't save time.

I found out that using the Cloud Ingot instead of grabbing that one ledge (the one with the archer) in level 4 saved about a quarter second and set out to redo the boss.

Now I'm still unsure on how RNG works in this game, but one of the biggest timesaves I found was hitting the rightmost lever last. That's because there's less distance for the camera to pan during the cutscenes. I also thankfully manipulated Kahmunrah to be on the leftmost plane for the final hit this time.

Quite challenging fight to TAS due to the planes, fire, and RNG, but I'm super glad with the end result and don't regret going back one bit!

New project that's been really fun to work on! Although the RNG at the first boss basically DESTROYED me. But I think I held my own!

Faster 19-step maze TAS made possible with a different starting seed.
Can still be improved if you increase your speed with select (which I can't do until BizHawk 2.10.1 releases).

Quick Bowser's Tower TAS I whipped up just now. Would absolutely love to finish this, but I don't really understand how the RNG works. This TAS goes up to Floor 5.

Some things to note:

If you open Bowser's Tower for the first time, you will get the exact same seed of minigames every time. When you beat Bowser's Tower, it will generate a new seed. You could potentially start a run that already has a good seed (and have a verification movie for it), but IMO it's probably too much trouble than its worth.
You can't manipulate the CPUs in Great Bars of Fire with pausing.
It seems that RNG in minigames is determined by when you enter the floor?
I tried my best with Slow G, but I can't seem to beat any existing IGT WRs (top time I found with video is a 21.20 from someone who claims to have a 21.10 PB). I managed to get 21.23, but I had to redo it after finding timesave earlier in the run.
Even with the "New Record" pop-up, Slow G is still faster than Git Along, Goomba.
I do not know who the fastest character is or if there even is one. I just picked Toad because he's funny. :P

Stopping at Goomba Tower for now. Want to see if there's a way to get a nut to spawn closer to you. Also if there's a way to get the CPUs out faster in Great Bars of Fire, that would be great.

I think it would be really awesome if a TAS for this existed! I tried a run back then and got 54:XX, and I'm really curious to see just how fast this can be done. I could probably finish this myself, but given my skill level with TASing, it probably would be rejected for optimization. If anyone does want to help, please message me!

Well, this is it.
We searched for the shortest possible mazes using every starting seed with a program. This is what came out. It's unlikely that there's any maze better than this.

Went back and managed to save all 11 frames in Courtyard 1, plus some additional timesaves in Food Safe 1! All I had to do to avoid pushing the orange was to just hold up for a little bit more. I then had to alternate a bit from up and left to get past the next orange. It looks a little janky, but hey, it works!

Full breakdown:

Courtyard 1: -12f
Paris Streets 1: -9f (3f lost)
Food Safe 1: -36f (27f saved)
1 frame saved in the menu after

I don't know how but I think the timesave in Courtyard 1 actually prevented the Double-Double Jump Glitch from happening in Food Safe 1? I was able to save frames for a lot of jumps because of it.

Edit: Just tried to do the second cooking game now. Unlike the first, you can't just breeze past it and have to actually try to optimize for the lowest score as fast as possible. I don't know how to do this so I think this TAS is now unfortunately on a hiatus. If anyone is willing to help, please contact me.
