Submission Text Full Submission Page

Hi, I'm umekor, and this is my first full TAS run, which is a run of Balloon Fight's GB sequel, Balloon Kid. The run was started originally by girfanatic501, but he lost interest and let me do it over. So, I start playing a little after the beggining of Stage 1. Enjoy :)

A glitch is used in Boss 2 in which Annie jumps off of the fishes head then immediatly grabs the balloons again. In my tryings, I have found this very difficult to do normally.

NesVideoAgent: Hi! I am a robot. I took a few screenshots of this movie and placed them here. Oh! I also corrected the ROM name.

You indicated Ballon Kid (JUE) [!].gb
I updated it to Balloon Kid (JUE) [!].gb

Truncated: This is a poor choice of game, as noted in the previous submission for this game. On top of this, viewers (including me) find it poorly played. Rejecting for these two reasons.

It's a 28 minute long autoscroller which is slower than my car and ten times more boring. No.

I have TAS this one in the past too. Was not accepted, because the game itself is to slow. For this TAS I say NO. Some things are better, but the most not. Pro for this TAS: - Faster then my TAS. (But not the Boss fights) - You collect more Ballons and get a Power Ballon which makes you invisible and the game faster for a short time. I have not know this and collect near no Ballons. This seems its a big time-saver here. Contra: - Fast Buttons pressing, so maybe some frames to slow. (not so important at all) - You use the Ballons to fly. I have try to play it a different way and use only Ballons, when there was no other way. So I played the 1st Stage without use them. I like my way better, jump from enemie to enemie. (but at all just a stylish thing) Important Contra: - You collect after the P-Ballon more Ballons and that the Ballons change to 2 Ballons. This looks like, that the gameplay stops after that some seconds. And it slow down the TAS. - Boss 1 fight is not optimized, you hit him not every first possible Frame. And you reach the exit to slow. I defeat him as fast as possible and reach the exit without lose time. - Boss 2 extremly slow, by me he not dive at all. And after the end you wait again to long till you reach the exit. - Stage 5 and later no P-Ballon? - Boss 3 not optimzied. - Stage 7, the Glitch which I found out is not used. You can jump on the spikes, when you jump as fast as possible. Same in Stage 8 with the firesea. - Boss 4 extremly slow, by me he never shot Stars. So at all, its faster as mine. But I think only, because from the P-Ballons, which are used only in the first Stages. The Boss Fights are much slower as mine. So a big No for that. PS: Is it possible to get the P-Ballon before the Boss fights starts, and defeat the Boss this way?
