I try to TAS this game. The game is about a little Boy called Bonk in prehistorical time area. Bonk can Jump and hit ennemys with his Head. He can eat meat to incrase his Power... bla bla I loved this game as I was a child. Its the first game I finished completely (and that several Times). I think, I now much about it. So I try to TAS it. The game is easy. Wich makes it hard to TAS it at satisfaction. Here is my first WIP. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/581275753/Bonk%27s%20Adventure%20-Boss%201-.vbm WIP @ youtube http://youtube.com/watch?v=IqpZS458kLU Please give feedback. thx :)

I don't know the game but it looks like an on ok start it appears to me that doing a front-flip slows bonk down (e.g. in the part where he jumps on the clouds), try it out :) can't tell you anything about whether or not it would be accepted but GL & HF

yeah, thats true, it slows him down. But on this Place, when i move on the ground (or jump on the Trampolinground) Bonk has to hit the wall and jump from it. With this, on my tries, I lose +/-20 Frames and that's really much.

GBx TAS of 2008
Unfortunately, like most gameboy games, it's pretty slow. If the character normally moved at the same speed as his powerup speed, it would help quite a bit. But with the very very long powerup animation, any speed gains that you might have seen seem to negated. Especially with the last section of 1-2. You get a powerup, wait through the 6 second animation, and then go to the right just a bit for the end of the level. I'm almost positive it would have been faster to just skip that powerup and keep moving to the end of the level (and I also have severe doubts that collecting the powerup gains you time in the end). So with this game it seems you're between a rock and a hard place. Either you go slow the entire run, or you have to spend 5-6 seconds of standstill for a brief speed boost which may actually be slower overall. I don't really think it's publication material here from what I've seen, but if you like working with it, by all means continue. Oh, and thank you very much for the Youtube link, it's a great option for getting feedback on obscure games. So cheers for that:)

Im sorry i should've added this the 1st time... it looks like a normal jump (without a front-flip) would be enough to make it to the next cloud as well

@mmbossman The Powerups are really good for Bosses. Bonk get as three time Powerfuller with them. I will try the first world without Powerups, but i really don't think that it will be faster. Edit: Tryed the first Level without Powerup. He is much slower. With Powerup: Fadeout begin: 2144 Without Powerup: Fadeout begin: 2180 @DaTeL237 Yeah, it seems like that, I know, but it will not work. He don't reach the corner of the cloud to stand/move on it. He falls down :/ Bonk = Stupid as Mario

I think what mmbossman meant was during the levels, try to not use the power ups. but for bosses, you should power him up to kill the boss quicker. that would mean, probably, getting only the one powerup before the boss (so you could do the WOW of WOOF thing) I must say, although well played, i was bored with all the stopping and starting of bonk's forward movement (due to the power ups ^_^; ) If i were to vote on if this WIP were to be published, i would vote no... but, if you are able to speed bonk up. i would gladly re-watch. keep those youtubes a comin'!

Bonk is slower without using of Powerups.

I have redon the first two levels. and I am 5 Frames Faster on the first Level and 52 Frames on the second. This makes a Total of 57 Frames, yay \o/ . But I don't think I can win frames on the third Level. To the Publiching, I woulg give me a meh for the first WIP ^^ Edit: Seems like, I am faster in the first Level, with Powerup and in the second without.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/47388069868220505 Up to the second level... but I think I have to redo the first level, I think I can optimize it a bit more. Also: https://www.speedrun.com/gbbonk1/run/pm3w79gy
