Walgrey does yet another rhythm game TAS. How original.
Bratz is a 2002 rhythm game based on the Bratz toy franchise. This game was released on PC, Playstation, and Game Boy Advance.
No, I don't know anything about Bratz. I used to see commercials for the dolls on television back when I was a kid. I've never seen anyone actually have them. The only reason I TASed this game is because I did a speedrun of it back in 2023. Why did I speedrun it? Beats me.
This TAS aims to clear the "Contest" mode on the GBA version of the game. In this mode, all you have to do is simply clear 10 levels. You push the buttons on the screen when the game tells you to. It's as exciting as it looks.
At the bottom the screen, there is a health bar. If it reaches 0, you fail and have to restart the level. Missing notes causes the health bar to decrease. Getting a "Perfect" note will increase it. Getting a "Good" note won't increase or decrease the health bar.
After clearing a level, you will unlock new dance moves that you can use in the freestyle sections, as well as the next level. How many new moves you unlock is determined by your score. Perfect notes are worth more points than Good notes, so I miss the first few notes and get Good on the rest. You can miss more notes by restoring the health bar with Perfect notes, but your score would still be higher than just getting Good on everything. For some reason, doing a pattern of Perfect-Perfect-Miss is 4-5 frames faster, but since your score is higher, you sometimes unlock an extra dance move, wasting time.
This is my first time submitting an April Fool's Day TAS. Ignore the fact that I'm a few hours late in my timezone. My submission isn't really "off the wall" or anything like that for an April Fool's Day TAS, but given how light-hearted and bad this game is, I hope I someone finds this somewhat amusing.
