Another cool Simple 1500 Series game, The Block Kuzushi, a Breakout-like. Would be very interesting as a TAS, due to the amount of control you have over the ball. Pressing X will briefly charge the paddle and allow you to charge and put spin on the ball. A charged ball will pass thru any block it hits, and the greater the speed of the paddle the longer the charge stays on the ball. This allows you to break a ton of blocks very quickly. The game also allows you to use your extra balls at any time with Select, and you keep them as long as they are still alive at the end of the level. So I imagine a TAS would spawn all the balls at the start and charge thru everything. Finally there are branching routes, I am not sure my route is the fastest, but it seemed the best for RTA.

Midnight Mutants, a TAS could skip even more than I do. It would skip the Knife and Cross, and potentially Blaster 2, but not sure how much you lose later by skipping the extra damage output it gives. But I think my general route after the Cross is solid. Can give more thoughts if someone actually wants to TAS it.

A bunch of new homebrew games from the NESdev compo. I think the most interesting for a TAS would probably be Irritating Ship, then GunTneR. https://itch.io/jam/nesdev-2022/entries

Little Lancelot, a 2018 NTSC rerelease of PAL only The Legend of Prince Valiant. Route is pretty basic, 3 platforming, and 2 gallery shooter levels. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urm_62pw8k0

Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck on Game Gear. Quite a bit different, and a lot shorter, than the other versions. Unsure if taking a death in the final level is faster or slower than trying to stay alive. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7pOhCus3rE

The Lost World: Jurassic Park on Game Gear. I believe this version is only on Game Gear, simple platformer, TAS should easily be under 10 mins. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD36YLW9844

Super Golf on Game Gear, short golf game. I believe you can get a Hole in one on almost every hole if the wind can be manipulated. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgf0I-4puJQ

Game Gear version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, quite sure a TAS could easily be sub 6, figuring out how to skip the death in Scene 3, RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6YurXCh5Nk

Planet of the Apes on GBA, straightforward cinematic platformer, really have to take care of your health compared to the GBC version. Levels are similar to GBC but at least half are different layouts. RTA run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMhufp2On0U

The Addams Family - pretty simple game, run around and get a bunch of keys and fight a handful of bosses. Lots of time to save getting good boss fights. On the boat part where I take a lot of damage, I believe if you frame perfect jump off the water you might not take damage, it would happen occasionally using turbo. Also dying into a screen transition skips the death animation and reloading, so it instantly takes a life and gives a full health refill on the next screen.

Little Nicky, platformer, pretty fast moving. I discovered a multi jump glitch, hitting jump again near the top of the jump height, not sure of the exact window, but a TAS could certainly trivialize a lot of stages with repeated vertical jumping.

Recently did an RTA run of Shape Shifter. Pretty neat Metroidvania style game, with animal transformations. This was the route I use, but I have an idea for a theoretical Any% route that is too hard/unrealistic for RTA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bX5NVMREB8

Did a couple of RTA runs recently that don't have TASes. Devilish - sort of an adventure Breakout type game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQcPLnzf7w4 Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude! - port of the Genesis game, very laggy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdVMs-ZDoFk

I feel like it's an okay start. I've been doing some RTA runs the past few days and this TAS is about the same time as my PB. My current sum of best is 14:47 RTA, so that would lead me to guess sub 15 is surely possible with TAS timing. Curious why you don't use the charge shot more? I know it can cause a little lag, but there are lots of spots you can use it to avoiding having to stop. Star Man you can kill in 1 cycle, before he uses his shield a 2nd time. Not sure that using Rush Coil so much is saving time in a lot of cases. Wave Man fight looked very slow compared to just using full charge shots.

Another from the Quattro Arcade cart, Stunt Buggies. Pretty simple game, go around and collect all the bombs in each level. Enemies can be somewhat manipulated if they're close to you, not sure if you really can when they're far. My general RTA route, could definitely be a bit more optimal in some spots, but about as good as I came up with for RTA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ksDeqsqtMk And also the 3 hidden level warps we found - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtQt8vMLPv0

Another short game with no TAS, CJs Elephant Antics, on the Quattro Arcade cart. Enemy item drops are random, so I would assume a TAS would just keep manipulating sodas (speed) and bomb drops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoHUFkp09c4

Men In Black 2: The Series on GBC, the first game has a TAS but nothing for this one. Pretty straightforward route, collect the 4 pairs of sunglasses in each level then exit. Skipping thru the machine guns in level 2 saves a lot but hard RTA. Most time save would likely be on the bosses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkSLb57Jawk

Recently routed and ran a couple of games that could definitely use a TAS. The Hurricanes - soccer themed platformer, fairly straightforward https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfQW6-U9wVU Harley's Humongous Adventure - another straightforward, simple platformer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVFywnrdbS0 Time Trax - platformer some cool time slowing mechanics, TAS mashing would take a lot of time off the autoscroller portions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkd7VqfI1HE

Happened to come across a game end glitch TAS the other day that I had not seen, there are links to different glitches if you follow the nico links. It appears it is not RTA viable thru this specific method, but I would love to know if it could be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK_QebIe4aw

I don't know if this is known, but GameGlitchGuy had a video of some glitches and there is a stair glitch in the FDS version he was doing, no clue if it's also useful, this new stuff just reminded me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJYESJPcG1s
