Finally decided to register. :) Densetsu no Stafy 3 is the third game in a platforming series by Nintendo, released only in Japan. You play as Stafy, a small star who falls from the sky and befriends many sea creatures. Your goal is to defeat the evil villain responsible, and to return home. I am doing a TAS of the third game, simply because the first game sucks and the third is my favorite. I am not going to be clearing the second part of the game, as it will take twice as long. Due to the fact that there are 40 levels to play through on the first runthrough, I estimate that this will be a 1-3hr run. A VBM can be found here. The rom used is 1609 - Densetsu no Stafi 3 (J).gba .[/url]

Welcome to TAS world, UNKNOWNFILE. You apparently should use frame advance. I recorded a video experimentally. Though it is still sloppy, it is 1407 frames (over 20sec) faster than your movie (to enter the first door). stafi3-tastest-gocha.vbm I have no plan to make the run, but I'm interested in the length of the run. I'm looking forward to your beautiful fast run.
I am usually available on Discord server or Twitter.

Finished world one in 8 minutes. I improved on 1-1, due to the magnificent discovery that you can skip the conversations by pressing Start. This doesn't work in all cases, such as at the light minigame before the World 1 Boss. And the World 2 animation is just hilarious, so I will leave it in there for amusement. The file is at the same place as the old one. EDITSTUFFS to avoid doublepostage: GOD! Do I hate level 3-3! Rediculous, it is! To start off the level, you have to meet up with one of the bosses, and he shows you a "find the differences chart". He will then break through the chart and go, "BLAHFLHGLAGH!!!!", scaring you. This lasts for...some 8000 frames. Then... to follow it up is an AUTOSCROLL. I have a feeling this game was designed by someone who didn't like speedrunners.
