I looked at GB Motocross again but didn't find the interest to continue it. It's very hard to optimize a "fastest times" run and I don't want to make a playaround movie either. Today I watched some Youtube videos of the other Motocross ports and versions until I stumbled across this one. It looks very beautiful to me, the physics are very interesting and there don't seem to be any items so I won't have any Nitro item planning mess like in the GB version. I really think that if a Motocross TAS, then this GBA version is the way to go! I'm in the middle of playing through the game casually and I think a TAS would be very nice (especially if you use the Boost correctly). What do you think?

I agree with this as for TAS. Good luck to you and for those who want to make this TAS

I just finished 100%-ing this game. The downsides of this game is its length and that it basicly only has one sound track. A TAS will probably be around 20 minutes. Maybe I will get a test movie done soon.

I finished my test movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzlDrjoksFQ This isn't the best track for TASing. In fact, tracks with unavoidable 45° ramps are slowing you down. I think a compromise for this game is to enter a password to the final event, which consists of a solo 3-laps race, a multi 3-lap race and a score-hunting 1-lap race. I will take a look into it. This would also unlock some new tricks and better (faster) bikes. Also, this game apparently was never published for GBA. It can even be downloaded at the author's homepage freely.
