I found out if you go fast enough, you can enter the dark as Shaggy and still switch partners,Edit: Going to the first camera at room 0x0E without partner switching is faster by 125 frames. It takes 163 frames initially to grab the Scooby snacks on room 0x0E, but then reduces to 153 frames since I don't need to delay at room 0x0F anymore. It takes 160 frames to grab Scooby snacks on room 0x10 for the first time instead, with no possible savings later. room 0x21 at this point, getting damaged once makes me run at 889 speed temp. normal is 553 getting damaged from first ghost - 149 frames faster getting damaged from the 2nd - too far getting damaged from the 3rd ghost - 154 frames faster getting damaged from the 4th ghost - 153 frames faster Edit2: In an attempt to figure out how room's affect position addresses, I think I found a pointer: 0x0112EC seems to point towards the player's positions so far. I changed my script to reflect that. :)Language: luamemory.usememorydomain("Combined WRAM") local Scooby = {ptr = 0x0112EC, x = 0x000000, y = 0x000000, speedx = 0x000000, speedy = 0x000000} local Shaggy = {ptr = 0x0130C0, x = 0x000000, y = 0x000000, speedx = 0x000000, speedy = 0x000000} function update(name) if (name == "Scooby") then local char = memory.read_s32_le(Scooby.ptr) - 0x02000000 Scooby.x = char + 0xC Scooby.y = char + 0x10 Scooby.speedx = char + 0x14 Scooby.speedy = char + 0x18 else local char = memory.read_s32_le(Shaggy.ptr) - 0x02000000 Shaggy.x = char + 0xC Shaggy.y = char + 0x10 Shaggy.speedx = char + 0x14 Shaggy.speedy = char + 0x18 end end -- gui.drawText(int x, int y, string message, [Color? forecolor = null], [Color? backcolor = null], [int? fontsize = null], [string fontfamily = null], [string fontstyle = null]) while true do local Scooby_ptr = memory.read_s32_le(Scooby.ptr) --for debug + updating pointers local Shaggy_ptr = memory.read_s32_le(Shaggy.ptr) local GhostHP = memory.readbyte(0x0113A4) --Update Pointers if (Scooby_ptr ~= Scooby.x-0xc+0x02000000 and Scooby_ptr ~= 0) then --this will happen if changed rooms or just started script update("Scooby") --placing this here as to not lag my computer :P end if (Shaggy_ptr ~= Shaggy.x-0xc+0x02000000 and Shaggy_ptr ~= 0) then --pointer + 0xC points to x position. to find the pointer again, subtract 0xC from x address and add 0x02000000 update() --Updates Shaggy instead end --Displays X,Y,SpeedX,SpeedY if (Scooby.x ~= 0x0 or Shaggy.x ~= 0x0) then --Check if the memory address of x is pointing to 0x0. gui.drawText(0,140,"Scooby:"..string.format('%.6f',memory.read_u32_le(Scooby.x)/65536.0)..","..string.format('%.6f',memory.read_u32_le(Scooby.y)/65536.0)..","..memory.read_s32_le(Scooby.speedx)..","..memory.read_s32_le(Scooby.speedy),null,null,10,null,null) gui.drawText(0,150,"Shaggy:"..string.format('%.6f',memory.read_u32_le(Shaggy.x)/65536.0)..","..string.format('%.6f',memory.read_u32_le(Shaggy.y)/65536.0)..","..memory.read_s32_le(Shaggy.speedx)..","..memory.read_s32_le(Shaggy.speedy),null,null,10,null,null) end --Display Ghosts HP if (GhostHP > 0) then gui.drawText(170,20,"HP:"..memory.readbyte(0x0113A4),null,null,10,null,null) end --Debugging --gui.drawText(0,90,"Pointer (Scooby): 0x"..bizstring.hex(memory.read_s32_le(Scooby.ptr)),null,null,10,null,null) --gui.drawText(0,105,"Pointer (Shaggy): 0x"..bizstring.hex(memory.read_s32_le(Shaggy.ptr)),null,null,10,null,null) --Other things gui.drawText(0,120,''..(memory.readbyte(0x00000D) > 0 and 'Cutscene' or ''),null,null,10,null,null) --If it's 1, there's dialogue/cutscene.

This appears if you try to skip the last clue. Getting past this point by partner swapping makes the game reset.
Also (U) seems to be consistently faster:

Amount of "A" presses needed for dialogue regarding the spreadsheet.
You need 85,000+ speed, or else this happens. :P
Edit2: frame 113566
You can actually skip almsot all clue checks in this stage by high speeding, but then Velma won't be there to give you the yellow key at the end.That jumping glitch sure makes the game more entertaining, and quite funny. Here's an encode of that WIP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_1ptk64uhM This is only the first mystery, right? If so, I wouldn't mind seeing more levels glitched like this.
In case anyone wonders: v1 - Up to half stage 1; barely uses partner switch glitch; easier partner glitch killed it v2 - Up to final boss; many more tricks missing; ability to start cutscens 18 frames sooner in most rooms killed it v3 - Up to half 2nd stage; lack of quick partner glitch usage in stage 1 killed it v4 - Up to quarter 2nd stage; Realization that setting up 60,000+ speed improves a lot of rooms killed it v5 - 4919 frames faster than v2 by the end of stage 2. Improves 397 frames from v4 by the time it reaches the same point as said WIP

Might as well continue the current WIP. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/31858569494485296 I'll post this here and continue from stage 2; Mainly the savings are from room 0x13, but rooms 0x11, 0xD, 0x15, 0x16, 0x15 and 0xD in that order all have minor savings due to stopping earlier to trigger dialouge/open locks sooner. That would've saved 100ish frames, but lost all due to bad ghost placement.
This section is extremely strict on the positioning. While the stairs clip works for both Scooby and Shaggy, if the speed and position of whomever you're trying to clip is off from the numbers shown by just a hundred or so, you get either ejected out of the stairs next frame, or get stuck.
The format displayed is X, Y, Speed X, Speed Y.
