I've been considering the idea of a playaround and I'm slowly starting on a route for when I do it. So far it starts off by getting the lvl-1 sword and the lvl-0 shield then steal the shovel (and maybe the bow), then I am considering doing something like Tanooki Teabag where I warp into level 8 and get the rod plus lvl-2 power brace. Here's a
short WIP I made just to try plan the start out.
I really like the ideas for a playaround that have been suggested on irc and in my submissions thread, but getting some feedback on when I should do these tricks would be cool. I'm also considering playing around with the doghouse trick more and aiming for most if not all items.
Again, ideas for awesome playaround tricks and when I should try to implement them (other than the already stated ones) would be great.
Besides that, an improvement on the any% warp route is going smoothly.
Edit:
Here's what I pulled off in some spare time. Basically got the sword, lvl 0 shield, warped into level 8, got the rod, warped into PB-hallway and got lvl-2, did a weird screenwarp based off some mini-boss rooms odd physics, warped through several rooms, and got another PB for the heck of it and reset.
