My Dinner with André is a homebrew storybook game released for the Game Boy by GumpyFunction. It's based off a clip from the famous American cartoon The Simpsons, which itself is based off the titular 1981 comedy/drama film. You play as Wally and engage in a conversation with André at a restaurant.

About the TAS:
The gameplay is very trivial. All you have to do is press A as fast as possible to mash through the dialogue, with one exception of pressing START to start the game.
There are several places in the dialogue where you have a choice of the following 3 options:
- TELL ME MORE
- TRENCHANT INSIGHT
- BON MOT
The RTA world record by BeetZero chooses "TELL ME MORE" every time, which is believed to be optimal. However, it's actually faster to choose "TRENCHANT INSIGHT" instead of "TELL ME MORE" for the last 2 options to save a fraction of a second.
This is my first Game Boy TAS and, potentially, my first Game Boy publication.
I don't have anything else notable to say here. Thanks for reading.
Improved!
BlackWinnerYoshi and myself have since improved this TAS by 1073 frames, mainly due to using the GBC version which has a longer startup but significantly reduces lag. - https://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/638159727394350862
BlackWinnerYoshi: Added new used emulator version, embedded encode. The amount of rerecords can remain as originally (430 on this and 1236 on the other GBC submission if it's also replaced).
ViGadeomes: Claiming for judging.
ViGadeomes: Sorry for the delay once again.
Replaced the movie on Gambatte 2.8 as the original movie with the improvement both in gameplay and by passing in GBA mode from BlackWinnerYoshi, taking rerecord count from the original movie, adding cycle count to the movie file.
Nothing to say, everything fits !
Accepting.
