Donkey Kong Country 3 - Dixie Kong's Double Trouble Game: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Once again you are using a bad rom.. more precisely [f1] 'other fix 1' rom version.. when there is a (U) [!] 'verified good dump' rom version, i think you should look for it.. perhaps, playing your movie with the [!] version did not desynched for now^^ in the second level: i think you should rise a bit more the doors you was forced to do that little jump, and some doors seems to need less time in the lever.. sorry if im wrong, im just supposing, you should test it if you dont^^ in the second charge of bees, you do a strange jump from the lever.. can it be improved? in that part you go through a barrel-barrel-lever did u miss a jump or it was my impression? in the end of level i think you lost some frames just to get all the bananas.. also.. shouldnt you use more Y in the ground since its faster? well, overall, gj, just try to improved these things^^

Can you use Retard Kong to skip along the water in the first level? (I don't know his real name, but it doesn't matter)

I don't know, because I have no clue why you would want to

I thought it might be faster in the first level than having Dixie fly over the water, but I don't know how fast the water-skipping goes. Plus you'd have to switch people. Ah well, just a suggestion.

Watched your WIP. A problem I see is that often you jump over or bounce on some mice instead of spinning through them. I'm not sure if jumping on enemies is any faster than normal running, but spinning through them definitely gives a boost of speed. Also, there was no reason to take time to grab a barrel and kill that red bird. JXQ's probably right about switching not being worth it at that point. Is there any difference between Dixie and Kiddie's running/jumping/rolling speeds in this game? If not, in later parts this game you might have some opportunity to mix it up, unlike the DKC1 run which is all Diddie. -hanzou

As people here have said, there's is quite a lot to improve in your run. I'm not saying it sucks like hell but it does need some improving. I have also started making a TAS of DKC3 but I haven't had time to work on it :( Anyways, here is my beginning of DKC3 TAS so you can do a little comparing. I was going to post it here after I had the first world cleared but since I don't have much time to make it, it would take too long. And for the second, since Megaman is making a TAS of it, he can maybe learn something from mine. [EDIT]: Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention. I made the run with Donkey Kong Country 3 - Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (U) [!].smc rom.

Which run should I encode next? :)

yeah its a good job, but imho, the first part of this movie, is really really boring, when you use warp-barrels i.i

If we're thinking of the same level, I think it's because he would end up hitting the barrels with faces and arms that hang from the ropes. Maybe it would be faster to use the rope and jump over the barrel? Anyway, I agree with Daniayaw, it is played well, just kind of boring at the beginning with warp barrels. Also, I despise this game, hehehe.

Just make sure to test that it stays in sync by playing from a savestate made right before the start of the level after every 10 seconds or so, and you won't have a chance of losing much work. That's what you'd do anyway, right? (OK, maybe not but it's a good idea at least for this game and DKC2.)
