Please add all the necessary installation instructions and steps to movie annotations. http://tasvideos.org/MovieRules.html#UseMovieAnnotationsToProvideInstallationInstructions To make this game work I needed to install some stuff (Steam not installed):
Language: shell

sudo apt-get install libopenal1:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386
Also this seems to be needed for video dumping: Post #490172

Sounds like source of randomness that the game uses for its stuff isn't known or isn't captured properly by libTAS? I don't think it's meant to cluelessly allow games to access everything in the host, but I don't know how sandboxed it is currently. You should talk to Keylie.

Do I need to delay the publication?

That would leave us with 2 similar accounts for the same person, which is not allowed. Request a merge, with whatever name you prefer.

But do have an option of creating those 10 verification movies to be run every day? We don't allow game modifications unless they explicitly add unique gameplay (as opposed to unlocking something that's already there): http://tasvideos.org/MovieRules.html#NonOfficialGamesHacksHomebrewsEtcAndPrototypes Regarding save anchored runs, they need to be different enough from what is achieved with a fresh game, and also entertaining enough to be published in Moons as another branch. For "fresh any%", however, there's no such restriction.

Thanks to Vynneve for bearing with me, the culprit was the SRAM file. When I first ran this movie, it synced just fine, so the SRAM file wasn't specifically crafted, but after I deleted it and it was created from scratch, the run stopped syncing. So not sure what dirty magic Dolphin is doing there, but here's the file that syncs (should go in User\GC): https://files.tasvideos.org/common/SubmissionFiles/6550S/SRAM.7z

They don't change the fact that it's a 2-hour movie. By any% I meant that it would be shorter, therefore easier to swallow in its entirety.

It's a nice movie, but I'd like to know how many people find it outstanding. I can recognize quality of the game itself, execution of the movie, damage boosts and playarounds, but what about others?

To spawn objects you need to go through certain points in the level. It's written in game code which camera position spawns which objects, and it's consecutive, you can't skip those portions. If you skip them they stop spawning. The warp is spawned along with all the other objects of that area. Object spawns don't depend on checkpoint activation. Still nothing?

Checkpoint activation has a distinguishable sound effect.

Are you 100% sure you don't feel like actually trying both and maybe accidentally finding a new glitch like I did?

You can skip all you want as long as you activate all checkpoints.

The warp only appears if you make all the objects of that area spawn, which requires spawning all the previous areas objects. Post #429623 The coordinates don't help you make sure some input is optimal in this game, only trial and error does.

Namely, is the checkpoint skip seen at 1:41 in the 2 player warps TAS usable in the warpless TAS? Or does this skip prevent the level end from loading?
The Resource page says that you can't spawn level end checkpoint unless you activate all the previous ones. I dared to disbelieve that and so I started testing. I skipped the last checkpoint, then I found out there was an invisible wall right before the next platform that I couldn't pass. I thought it's because the snowman hasn't destroyed the wall, so I did the left+right thing to show the wall on the screen. He crashed it and I was going to try passing the invisible wall once again, and it didn't disappear, and I occasionally started falling down while my sprite remained shifted way to the right. The screen went from high to low in a certain way, and suddenly EVERYTHING SPAWNED! But when I went down to activate the end checkpoint, it couldn't spawn because the screen was too high, and I couldn't move it lower since my sprite was shifted up. When I manipulated my position to make checkpoint spawn, I finally found out it indeed fails to end the level, it just increases the checkpoint value to tell the game where to respawn you if you die. So yeah, you must activate them all.
It wasn't your question whether you need to activate them all in a warpless tas, was it?

Additionally, going back to 1:41 in the encode above again, how exactly does the clip into the floor work? I get that it's based on pressing L+R simultaneously to alter your toad's walk plane position or whatever it's called, but what position are you aiming for, and where does this put you on the map?
It puts you here:

All of this is answered by the 1p warpless movie and its submission text.

Can't speak for the other judge but console verification sounds like a good reason to use that mode.

If it syncs without deleting anything, that doesn't tell us if it actually depends on sram or not. The submitted file contains a savestate that autoloads if you drag-n-drop it onto lsnes, as well as sram.srm that is non-zero. To know that the parser detected sram anchor erroneously, one is meant to delete the thing that confused it and check sync again.
