User Files for Wario Land II

Emulator: Bizhawk 2.9.1 Console mode: GBA Sync confirmation is appreciated

Emulator used: BizHawk 2.7

An input file for defeating the fish boss in GBC. This was done there to see how long it would take, ignoring lag.

Emulator used: Bizhawk 2.7

Proof of concept of triggering the real final chapter ending, while in a completely different stage. In this case, stage 28, Go through the grand hall.

Emulator used: BizHawk 2.7

Input file showcasing a route to an OoB block that on contact, leads to a jump to C200, where stage flags are located.

Uses BizHawk 2.7

Up to Chicken stage, had to resync everything because I didn't skip the coin count down previously.

Don't mind the game category; this uses the GB version since better OoB layout.

Uses BizHawk 2.7

It beats the game up to Factory 1.

starts with SRAM to get directly to 1-3 (main story route)

starts with SRAM to get directly to 2-3 spearman (any% route)

~3 second improvement to mugg's TAS from 2011, due to a new clip method being used to get to a room earlier than normal.

Unfortunately, I struggle to find positions for dashjump clips (a problem in both WL2 and WL3). Therefore, what you see beginning in the thumbshredder room is largely a rehashing of mugg's input. Where I could, I tried to break away, and I think I got a couple optimizations out of it but nothing major. The first two (three?) rooms are completely fresh input with no reference to the old TAS.

Emulator used: BiHawk 2.5 Posting this here since I'm stuck on stage 35.

Emulator used: BizHawk 2.4

Current improvement to the current any% published TAS. Does not use reset and the route apparently works on console. It can be improved further by avoiding coins.

Emulator used: BizHawk 2.4

Improves on 1675M without using OoB, but with wallclips by 879 frames

Emulator: BizHawk 2.4

Uses reset to change the layout of OoB, but desynced on console.

Partial resync attempt of 1675M for BizHawk 2.4

Tried to reproduce the current run, and failed

Update 1/1/15: Now displays secret exit doors.

Displays an overlay identifying tiles in WL2, for use in navigating and visualizing glitch rooms.

Colors:

Red - Solid or unknown

Pink - Breakable

Green - Doors...the tile properties for the doors are:

0x4ECD: Mini-game

0x4EDB: Regular door

0x4F3A: Normal exit

0x4F60: Secret exit

Blue - Water

White - Platform

The text in the upper left displays the tile properties of the blocks above, at, and below Wario respectively. The first column is the RAM address where the tile ID can be found. If this is above 0xA000 then it's accessing the RAM banks (where level data is normally kept) - between 0xA000-0xBFFF is bank 2, between 0xC000-0xDFFF is bank 3, and between 0xE000-0xFFFF is bank 4. The second column is the raw tile property.

Fixed version of the WL2 navigation script.
