There are only 3 identical places with snails and the zip doesn't happens, no matter the gap between the stair wall and the snail.

I assume it's either the size of the enemy or the size of the wall is too small.

Desyncs at 1st level 1st enemy, however it loads the game 1+1 (lag) frame faster (the unnecessary lag frames are removed in this movie file)

From TCRF: The European version increases Scrooge's movement speed in an attempt to compensate for the lower framerate of 50 Hz televisions. As a side effect of this change, Scrooge can just barely jump over the large gap in the second part of the Amazon without assistance from Launchpad.

Good news! we can use the WhiteHat94 zipping method (take dmg and jump on the pogo stick at the same time an enemy squeezes us inside a wall) where the original method (just stand and wait for an enemy to squeeze us).

The height difference is not enough to just zip through any ground, but we can skip under between walls.

Originally found by WhiteHat94, you can zip with the balls and chains guy by

1. Take damage (we don't have enough space to fit between the ball and the guy)

2. Position yourself right next to the ball. Jump and press B+Down at the same time for 1 frame once the invulnerability timer goes off and you are about to hit the platform to pogo stick off

3. (Extra step if you want horizontal zip) press R to zip left, or L to zip right the next frame.

Example of the glitch input:

T+0: D B

T+1: R/L if you want horizontal zip as well

Holding the B button will make McScrooge zip back from the bottom of this platform upwards.

On this platform, McScrooge will be placed many units below the platform.

Duck Tales is a classic game in which Scrooge has to collect treasures from all over the world. Some of the levels are not completely straightforward, and collecting items is sometimes necessary before proceeding. His cane also doubles as an almighty pogo stick that can be used in various ways, which makes jumping a lot more fun.

This is my first TAS so I hope you like it. If you like it, leave a like and subscribe to the TASVideos YouTube channel

I pick up the key after boss 1 frame earlier, but still got an extra "delay" frame so it finishes in the same time as the earlier movie without Aglar's improvement. RNG is different of course.

How different? The best one!! Bird goes low and right! Abused with taking away a lag frame after launching a bomb to an enemy on the way.

Will resync boss fight and other levels later.

Pressing A for 1 frame at 7327th frame in TASEditor will make the hit desync because the next jump will have different vertical boost since Y sub 1 (0x660) will take account Y sub 2 too after jumping for an extra time.

Level 1 - Amazonas
- 1 frame gained by taking the bottom route to use rope boost (under the snake)
- 5 frames gained by manipulating the bee spawn to take more rope boost (right after the earlier improvement)
- 1 frame gained by reducing the lag frame (after the ropes)
- 2 frames gained by reducing the lag frame after going through the falling laggy bridge

--> 9 frames

Level 2 - Transylvania
- 1 frame gained by hitting the boss 1 frame earlier

--> 10 frames

Level 3 - Couldn't improve this stage.

Level 4 -
- 5 frames gained by manipulating away the goat.
- 3 frames gained by manipulating the goat to fall as fast as possible to the next scenes

--> 18 frames - amount of frames need to "despawn" the hockey enemies

Currently I got a bad spawns (x2) of hockey enemies at level 4 after goats, so I'm trying to understand how to manipulate away them without sacrificing too much speed in the icy stage.

I had some crazy ideas that turned out to be much slower like changing the internal timers (timer1 (level timer) and timer2 (special timer (boss, transformation, level end, etc)), grabbing all ropes and taking damage at level 1, making bigger vertical boosts, using different route for level 2.
