Madagascar: Operation Penguin is a platformer that focuses on the Penguins from the movie. This run beats the game about 5 minutes faster than the RTA record. There is a surprising amount of optimization to do in this game, but most of it is pretty standard for TASing. The biggest optimization not present in the RTA run is jumping over people. The male people can be jumped over with a frame perfect jump. Female people cannot be jumped over for some reason. This saves time not only in the zoo but on the boat as well.
This run incorporates the WIP by FriedPorkchop, and a lot of the optimization details come from there, such as ducking into stage endings which saves 4 frames each time.
This run is console verified, as in the temp encode.
nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: Replacing movie with an improved version of 3449 frames.
nymx: Well, this was a neat little game to watch. My comparison with the WR showed multiple places that shine over human effort. So, in the thread, there were mentions of possible improvements...which Alyosha was able to turn around quickly. Even after that, some questions still exited; however, my assessment is that nothing looks out of place as you exploit so many mechanics to keep moving quickly and without apparent waste. Great job!
Accepting.
