Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside story is the third game in the series. Fawful is back and he wants to take over the mushroom kingdom. He gives a lucky? shroom to Bowser which gives him the ability to vacuum. Bowser then swallows everyone at the castle. Mario & Luigi must then team-up with Bowser to prevent Fawful from reaching his goal.
Game objectives
- Emulator: BizHawk 2.11
- Game version: Japanese (MARIO&LUIGI3_CLJJ01_00.nds)
- RNG manipulation
- Genre: RPG
RNG manipulation
A big part of the run is RNG manipulation. The formula is RNG(x) = floor(20.5x)&0x7fff + (x%2)*0x8000. RNG only changes when necessary in battle which means that I have to manipulate before the battle. The initial seed depends of the frame you enter the frame.
In this file, I will discuss the savings and time losses compared to the previous TAS. The frame calculations may be inaccurate by 1-2, but I will try to explain as best I can.
Peach's Castle
I save 27 frames at the first location because Toad arrives at this door faster in the Japanese version, and a few frames on the dialogues.
Bowser
I'm losing 37 frames here, it's possible that there's lag here, the same RNG manipulation frame time and the same attack patterns.
