So, I did Vanilla Dome 2b again with the improved "big water drop" (3 frames faster). I maintained to keep up this 3 frame improvement up to the last water pool (before the keyhole), there the fish was in a different position so I had to swim differently, which cost me 1 frame, so in the end I put they key into the hole 2 frames earlier. I had to lose those 2 frames on the world map, or otherwise the Red Switch Palace would have desynched... :P
Then I also redid the big water drop in Vanilla Dome 2a, also 3 frames faster, but this time I already had to give up when I reached the 3rd fish: It was impossible to pass him without losing the shell... So I just kept my old run for this level
So, after several hours of work: 0 frames improvement...
Anyway, from now on I won't touch the
movie up to Vanilla Ghost House anymore, unless somebody finds a big (= at least 20 frames) error.
Right now I'm debating whether I should continue like this (doing ~ 1 level per day, and spending the next days just fixing errors in that level), or if I should do one fast "alpha version" of all 97 levels, so everybody has enough time to point out possible improvements before I do the "perfect" run.
@Truncated: Don't worry, so far I'm still highly motivated to continue this.
Getting positive responses from (almost...) everyone also helps bigtime keeping the motivation up, thanx a lot!!
---edit---
Here you can see my first steps in Vanilla Ghost House. I think the first room was done as fast as possible, gotta check though if it's possible to get the last dragon coin without losing time.
In the second room I guess I have too fly higher at the start, because I couldn't find a way to fly below the 4th bubble (where the movie ends). I also don't know yet how to get and grab the P-Block the fastest way... maybe spin-jump flight all the way?
---edit2---
yes I think I'll do the spin-jump flight, that way I can bounce off the bubbles which looks cool, and also get the P-Block while maintaining the running speed. but now I'll go to bed
