the new year and the new bizhawk got me in the mood to revisit this game again, hopefull I'll keep it up.
I did half of the 2nd world and improved the boss fight from area 1

Mothrayas Today at 12:22: <Colin> thank you for supporting noble causes such as my feet
MemoryTAS Today at 11:55 AM: you wouldn't know beauty if it slapped you in the face with a giant fish
[Today at 4:51 PM] Mothrayas: although if you like your own tweets that's the online equivalent of sniffing your own farts and probably tells a lot about you as a person
MemoryTAS Today at 7:01 PM: But I exert big staff energy honestly lol
Samsara Today at 1:20 PM: wouldn't ACE in a real life TAS just stand for Actually Cease Existing
So someone named octo made a mention in the TASvideos discord about this game in late October. I saw his comments about the levels being hecking massive and that there wasn't really a completed TAS of it, and after looking through this forum for a bit and a month's worth of work and looking at both EZ's progress and PJ's run at AGDQ, I made this work-in-progress.

I thought about not skipping the big CD because of the speed/entertainment tradeoff rule, but in my twisted sadistic brain, knowing that people are not particularly fans of the default music, I figured saving time was more important than changing it. I may go back and change it but idk i think it's kind of a banger ngl
If anyone has any more information that could help optimize this, feel free to reply here or throw me a PM. I may make a document (if there already isn't one that i don't know about :')) to document all the little things that help to save time, like the wall hugging or rolling to reduce lag.
here's the bk2 for those who want it: (new link because i uploaded the wrong movie :P thanks for pointing that out EZ) https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638694667479086557
