I found a way around this by disabling those transformations entirely. Only problem is it requires the use of a game genie code which the game specifically forbids. Is there a possibility you guys can make an exception for this?

Alright so this is a question about the improvement run to the Sonic 3 and Knuckles Knuckles run that'll be made in the future. Currently Knuckles doesn't go for the big rings because that would require dealing with the Super/Hyper transformation mechanics. Namely the ring drain from the transformation and the fact that you can't glide (which is what allows Knuckles to do a lot of his cool movement) with over 50 rings until you transform. I found a way around this by disabling those transformations entirely. Only problem is it requires the use of a game genie code which the game specifically forbids. Is there a possibility you guys can make an exception for this?

Why allow this game genie code in particular and not allow direct editing of the RAM to call the ending?
It is not allowed to use arbitrary code inefficiently, creating runs which skip smaller and arbitrary portions of the game than would otherwise be possible.

In a discussion of the Space Station Silicon Valley TAS that was recently published, the topic of a completion TAS was brought up. I'm interested in doing an SSSV completion TAS at some point, so I figured I'll ask this now. In SSSV, there is an item (the Fat Bear Mountain souvenir/trophy) that cannot be collected because they forgot to enable collision. Last year a romfix was developed that does 3 things: 1. enables collision for this item 2. fixes a known expansion pak incompatibility that causes the game to freeze 3. provides language select options My question is: would a TAS made with the romfix be accepted for a completion run or would it have to use the base game? The gameplay would be identical because I would run through the item in the base game to fulfill the purpose of getting "as close as possible" to completion. It's just more satisfying to actually collect that trophy. It would be pretty cathartic for fans of the game to see the thing disappear too.

Hello, I have a game where at the beginning after creating your character, a beginning the adventure. Someone comes and speaks to us to ask us if we want to take a home to begin the adventure if we refuse his proposition, we reach the credits. Is this way can be considered as beating the game ?
Also, since I'm pretty sure all my TASes of this game will go to Vault and that we can choose the name of our character and some other things. Can I submit with at first a "funny" name if by any miracle my movies are enough enertainning to Moons and if not I can put the movies with all choices that are faster if i see that the Vault is the only option ? Or do I have to put my fastest movie at first ?
It's a normal in-game scenario right? Doesn't sound like completing anything whatsoever.

The game-play needs to standout from non-assisted play, and must not be seen as trivial.
I guess any% is too trivial for TASVideos.
