I just downloaded Walkerboh's flintstones-video a while ago. I found it pretty good, except for one thing. In the last level (in the future) there is a glitch, which saves about a minute and a half. I found this trick maybe ten years ago when I was playing the original game with my original NES. You go up the first elevator, then press down and jump to hang. After this you are able to jump all the way up to the next elevator, and do the same thing again. This way you can get straight to the final boss with hardly playing the last level at all :) I really don't have the guts to record a new video myself, so whoever is interested in beating Walkerboh's time, feel free to use this glitch to do it ;)

Just let him do it. He just has to change that last level then.

In the first level, it's possible to jump straight from the big stonewheel to the next level without needing to hang + climb up which was done (atleast in some) time attack video.

Well, I have teamed up with Guybrush once again and we have been working on an improved version of this game. For the most part I am doing the bosses and he is doing the levels, though it hasn't been quite that organized. Here is our WIP of the first 3 levels: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/974/TheFlintstonesboss3done18505.fcm As of right now we are 222 frames ahead of the current published run. Some of the new savings has come from new tricks, others from more effecient boss fights By debugging the game I have found the boss HP and am able to use that to maximize the damage dealt and reduce the number of hits required.
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

İn this run, in last part of Vampire Dungeon level, isn't it faster to jump, pause, use Gazoo's Fly and enter the door? Timecode 8:54 Link to video

Well you need to win an extra basketball game to get that ability, which costs well over a minute, so not exactly worth it

I found this unnecessary swag strat in the castle stage a little while ago, just wanted to see if I could skip going up and around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCwCur3aiTQ
