Comments

For those who are not familiar with this game. You controll a guy, who kills penguins and other enemies with boomerangs and stone-axes and drives skateboard in snow :), throught 20 levels, on each fourth level is a boss.
Some tricks in this run:
Falling over a stone cost 3 enery-points - a good time saver, because in the end of each level the energy-points are counted. On vertikal levels the guy often jumps with a normal jump to low, but with a high-jump (Down+A) he jumps to high, but you can stop the jumping animation by throwing a boomerang or a stone-axe. You can exactly land on the next platform.
Mukki: Judging...
Flygon: Added dem YouTubes.
Mukki: Good response. Accepting...
sgrunt: I'll handle this one.

Now this is more like it, Yes vote for sure.
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

There is no doubt that I must give you a yes. How did you say only can improve 1-5 seconds?
Do the work.

Would anybody like to make an encode of this? At the moment, I can't download a new version of snes9x to run this movie. However, congratulations on improving the last boss. That was my only real worry with the last movie.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

Ok, I managed to update my emulator and watch this movie. Much better job with the last boss, and I like how you ended the movie with a clear demonstration of hitbox abuse. Yes vote. However, I still think this could be better by firing the boomerangs straight up sometimes (maybe straight down is possible if you're in the air? I don't remember). It would make the swimming and skateboarding sections better, and it may improve the third boss fight.

The run was good enough to deserve a Yes from me. There's a game that, to me, is similar to this game. Its name is Congo's Caper. Maybe it could be a good game to TAS... If i recal correctly, rolling is the fastest way to go through a stage.

stuff about Congo's Caper
I worked on that game a while back to improve ZENEO9's rejected movie (http://tasvideos.org/2492S.html). It is a fun TAS to do. I might finish it up. (nitrog, you already have 6000000000 projects going on at once yadda yadda yadda) Anyway, this run was decent, even though I still think it could be improved a bit. Voting meh.

What? No one is encoding this? Blasphemy! The run was good but the game was meh. I'm split between a Yes and Meh vote, but sadly, I vote me. Yes to this being published, though.

Isn't the poll's question "Vote: Should this movie be published?"?

I enjoyed the soundtrack, reminiscient of the gamut of early-'90s dance music.

thanks for uploading your encode, flygon. My Internet still sucks. It should work in 10 days, again.

There was one level towards the beginning where you ended up with full health at the end... I think it would have freshened up the run a bit to collect all the fruit in the level, since it wouldn't make a difference (unless I'm missing something).
