No posts in over 2 years. I completely forget this thread until now :p
I stopped 100% TAS now because of this rule.
"2 Collect all item and equip which you can get only once."
I realized this rule forces me to collect 40000 coins to get 20 flog coins from marrymore suite. If you stay at suite 200 times, clerk gives me this.
On the other hand, TASVideos starts to accept Japanese. It's good for me to do 100% again with new arbitrary rule. Japanese is nearly 9 minute faster than English in any% so I can save more in 100%. (you can see this fact from smrpg thread in SpeedDemosArchive if you are curious.)
Now I am thinking of 100% like this:
1 Unlock all menu and place.(menu : Star Piece and Game , place : Yo'ster Isle and Grate Guy's Casino)
2 Vacate all treasures (normal+hidden) if you can. (Some treasures can't be.)
3 Get all items and equips that exists "Only one" in this game. (For example, Sheep Attack, Star Egg , Star Gun etc..)
4 Beat Culex and Jinx.
5 Buy 5 Fireworks (Doing this makes stat filework instead that of mushroom in ending)
I don't think max level is good to watch because just doing death abuse is fastest leveling up but it's just grinding.

Finally about low level. I don't think it's good category for TAS unfortunately. You will see nothing but spamming Rock Candy in entire battles and actually fastest to do it. :p
