Don't let this die, please! This must be the holy grail for ABAHB speedruns. Could someone do the new-found glitch, then post a demo of it in action at least?

Actually, if I was able to do everything I had theorized, the run would be well under a minute. Of course, this glitch helped a lot, but if anyone can figure out how to get that apple to the cage without having to get into the room, then go for it. I don't think the trampoline will work due to delays in whistling and the time it takes the ketchup to fall.

dood did post that he got it to work, see the first page, second post from the bottom. I am concerned however, that he didn't post a replay...

Hey dood, could post an fcm? Maybe I can work it out but I'm too lazy to figure it all out myself.

I'm so glad someone finally got a WAY faster speed-run out of this! I knew it could be done! Nice use of the slide technique too.

not to meaningfully revive an old topic or anything, but i know we had this and ive been at vgmaps lately... anyone heard of Mega Man Solid X: Guns of the Mavericks? they have the maps there. i was wondering if (when it becomes more public, assuming this isnt a hoax because im too tired to look if it is or not) it looked interesting for a speedrun. most people here love Mega Man (or thats the general consensus im getting all the time), and this is pretty much a crossover of that to MGS (which im a huge fan of). i know, premature, you should post elsewhere, etc. but the maps all ive seen of it so far. anyhow, ill leave it at that. check it out at vgmaps.com (i think direct linking doesnt work so well).

If you like Mega Man Solid X: Guns of the Mavericks, then you also probably like playing as Sonic and Tails in SSBM, or maybe as the different James Bond actors in Goldeneye, or maybe as topless characters in DOA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball, or maybe...

I think it's a hoax. But seriously, the maps made me laugh. Some brilliant artwork they have there. Someone really should make a Mega Man X hack.

Quoted from this page at gamefaqs http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/code/563391.html :

Get Rid of All Enemies on the Blob's Planet On the first screen of the Blob's Planet, run and toss a jellybean at the left side of the screen. If you do it just right, the screen will flash for a moment and show the final boss room. Now, all enemies on Blobolonia will be gone for good.
Once you access the final boss room, the game assumes that you already passed through all the obstacles in the previous rooms and leaves them clear. That's my understanding anyhow.

I may have found a way how one can break this game even more!! I call it "mystical ladder glitch" because I spotted this glitch when the blob became a ladder, but maybe it's possible to glitch through the screen with him being another form, or maybe one doesn't need the blob at all?... Okay, basically I got a glimpse of this glitch; the evil king or whatever?.... Sorry, but I'm not very redpilled about the A boy and his blob saga. Anyway, you know what I mean; one can come to that boss (?) on the left; you know, from the very beginning as soon as he lands with his Blob friend as he's taken the form of a rocket. Now, sometimes I've managed to actually run in to that screen, and sometimes as you'll see in my recording, you only get a "peak" of the boss. If we only could figure out "the formula" what is causing this, we may have ourselves another project.
