^ well, there is some planning over at SDA, that would be a good starting point. http://speeddemosarchive.com/forum/index.php/topic,9803.0.html Someone who just posted there (right after I did) mentioned a glitch about opening MMM and RBB early that skips 27 jiggies? It's not acceptable on SDA, but over here....

I really think if you cut out ALL the honeycombs, you could shorten the game by a lot. I'd be fast forwarding every ten minutes. Think about how far-flung many of those honeycombs are. (Gobi's one in GV, under the ice in CCW, down in the water in TTC) You need 6 less jiggies right? Actually, I think you should skip Mr. Vile - that one takes forever. Maybe you could skip being a crocodile, and then you'd need way less mumbo tokens? maybe you could skip being a bee? See how much debate there would be over what to skip and whatnot? I seriously think an any% would require a much different strategy. As I said, I'm no expert, but I would be surprised if the runs would not be at least 20% different, and it would probably be more like 30%. And I still think it's silly to have a 100% run and NOT an any% run. Aren't you wondering how fast the game could possibly be beaten? Is it 2:10? or maybe it could be sub 2 hours? (okay, that's probably impossible, but still.) I'm kind of miffed at how fast this was shot down, with a "oh he's just a noob" attitude >.>

Ok, this is Mr. I-just-discovered-TAS-and-I've-been-watching-TASes-of-all-my-favorite-games-on-youtube-in-the-last-three-days speaking (meaning I have no experience at all) I watched the Banjo-Kazooie run, and I loved it, but I'm hoping somebody does an any% run. IMHO, an any% run gets to the essence of what is possible to beat the game in, and I would think that's the meaning of life, the universe, and everything! (at least in the world of TAS :P) Just my two cents, and a bump for this thread in the hope of reviving it (and maybe convincing bkDJ to continue). (I'd also like to see an any% human speedrun, but that's for SDA)
