This is an overhaul of the 2015 "Cheat Bot 100% run" by Matt Shepcar. Most of the level input sequences are reused, with minor time improvements (less than a second overall) and some 'quality of life' changes (e.g. less shakey camera movement).

Individual Level Movie Files

Emulator used: Bizhawk 2.9.1 with mGBA core

Twenty of the thirty level input sequences were obtained (and kindly made available) by Matt himself. The other ten were significantly redone with help from KuruBot by E-Sh4rk.

The ten majorly redone levels are all of Grasslands, Jungle 1 and 2, Cake Land 2, Cave 3, Cloud Land 3, Ice Land 1 and Ghost Castle 2.

Compared to Matt's video all level times are matched, and even sligthly improved in seven of them: Ocean 2 (-0.25s), Ocean 3 (-0.18s), Cake Land 2 (-0.05s), Cake Land 3 (-0.15s), Cloud Land 1 (-0.03s), Ice Land 3 (-0.07s) and Ghost Castle 2 (-0.15s).

This is the first step of a bigger 100% TAS project. The next steps involve adding all the other levels done with no damage, then perfecting the presentation of the run with even less shakey camera movement and better downtime entertainment.

EDIT: Due to loading time discrepancies between Bizhawk 2.9.1 and 2.3.1, I did not notice that several levels were still one or two frames longer than in Matt's video. Here is a detailed breakdown:

- seven levels are worse by one frame: Cave 2 & 3, Cloud Land 2 & 3, Ice Land 1 & 2 and Machine Land 3,

- two levels are worse by two frames: Machine Land 2 and Ghost Castle 3,

- the twenty-one other levels are matched or improved.

Ghost Castle 2 done in 312 frames (from selecting the level on the world map to the first frame when Kururin looks happy).

I used a first wall clip to escape the starting zone and go out-of-bounds, then another one to go inbounds again and reach the regular goal zone.

The previously known wall clipping techniques did not work here for some reason, so I had to find new ones.

There are probably faster strategies, but this is a good start.

A new way to escape the starting zone in Ghost Castle 1.

The method given in Grasslands 3 (http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/52177347080337677) does actually not work here because of the springs on the bottom wall. So I wait for an additional 180° to give me time to adjust my position.

There are probably faster strategies, but this is a good start.

It collides with the top wall of the starting zone, then it clips through the right wall.

It is also used in Jungle 3 in Matt Shepcar's "cheat bot" video.

Doing a 180° of the inputs makes it work for other levels, notably: Cave 1, Cave 2, Cloud Land 1, Star Land 3, Ice Land 2, Machine Land 1, Ghost Castle 3.

(or any level where you start turning counterclockwise with both top and right walls or both bottom and left walls available in the starting zone).
