Thank you!

@@DmitriyK12 I just recently bought a copy of Rascal! I should get around to playing it sometime

Thank you! This was a fun one to figure out! I always enjoy working out how to speedrun a game nobody has done before

I actually bought a copy of the windows version last year, but I haven't been able to get it running yet 😭

I think I could get an 11.3X

@@XANDOAndy Where else do you think there is time? I saw you magic stair the vortex in this PB, but you thinking more skitters?

@@composer_speedruns I started the level with a charge-jump instead of a jump-charge, and beyond that I just think I could take better lines

@@mightofanubis3238 I've thought about a new game+ category, which I think would be pretty short in the end (relative to this monster of a run at least). Create a new character, and have them go up against three characters prepared beforehand, all having super valuable items. Keep stealing the items with the new character, selling them for big bucks, repeat, and very quickly get to max level with the new character. Then plough through story mode with the max level character. Assuming decent luck for story mode, I would guess that would only take a couple hours.

@@XANDOAndy If you make it I will watch it, Love this game. I after watching some of this I had to start it up and play.

@@Thunder55Turbo Unfortunately not. The only method I have is to just try it and hope. I think in this run Dino Racing alone took like 45 minutes to get. In the current record in this category, the runner managed to get it first try on a fluke, lol. I will also add, myself and MareepBoPeep are likely the two people who have spent the most time looking into this game, but we haven't *thoroughly* tested Dino Racing. We think its just random from experience, but we could be proven wrong.

😂

I do know what causes that! I used to get the bad end sometimes when I would do my early attempts at speedruns of this, and I had no idea what caused it. But as I did more runs, and as my time got lower, the bad end eventually stopped happening. It happens sometimes in speedrunning that we'll have something unexplained, but it only happens to people with worse times. Where we don't have much to go on to figure out a cause, but we know that it must be something that players stop doing as they get better. In this case, the bad end happens if you spend too much time on one level. When you finish levels, there are usually cutscenes that play. If you spend too much time in one level, you'll get a "bad end" cutscene for that level in particular. If you get any of the bad cutscenes for an individual level, you'll get the bad end for the whole game.

@@XANDOAndy Thanks for the reply. If all it was is taking too long in a level then that makes sense. He wasn't exactly going fast. LOL

To be honest, I think I talked about this with some people in the Turnip Boy speedrunning discord channel, but this was well over a year ago and I do not remember what was said anymore. I have never been good at mashing, so I actually might just be hitting the buttons too slowly here. I don't remember if Undurable had a particular technique for it or anything. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one :/

You cannot turn him off, lmao

One of the funniest things I learned about this game is what happens if you do everything he says. I hoped that if you take in all his advice, accomplish everything there is to do in a park, make it so he can't generate anything to say, then he would go away. Normally he pops up every seven seconds to tell you how to improve your park. And if you make the park perfect... then he pops up every seven seconds to tell you how great a job you're doing

@@XANDOAndy watched Tytar review the game coupledays ago, the reviews from about a year ago...theres straight an advisor off option in the menu, ua-cam.com/video/fKt1YFPRVhY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Tytar he gets there at 7-42 its possible some versions dont have it though

lost his sanity before that :P

I need to play with the British advisor more, but personally I always found how understated the American voice is to be part of the fun. Park is on fire. 90% of the rides are broken down. Visitors are walking down long paths to nothing, feeling sick from the vomit on the ground. Advisor pops up to calmly tell you that you should raise your ticket prices. He absolutely never shuts up, but the juxtaposition of how bad a park can be run and his unchanging mood at least make that reality funny.

The algorithm has good taste in video games today, but craigelbagel's speedruns of this are much more entertaining than mine. One time he ran this for a speedrunning marathon while in full Spy cosplay, including a giant mask that obscured a lot of his vision.

Are you referring to the "Items of Knowledge" that you collect as you fail areas in different ways? It's been a while since I've played this game, so if you're talking about something else, then I'm not sure what it is.

@@XANDOAndy There were no items, when you got caught for example the text appeared and than a number showed with a gong. Well, there is a video I found about it: ua-cam.com/video/u9cqEOazj2o/v-deo.htmlsi=kjY_vQMn2VqPgnPD This video titled: "all 5 ending". I thought that is the whole game.

@@uriftrg I think that's just a demo version. The final release doesn't have anything like that.

Ah, thanks. So wait, was it faster in the theory tas then? What makes it slower from how you timed it? Or was John mistaken in doing it? Or did he just want to show it off at the cost of time?

@@hopkid6969 John timed double stoneknot to be slightly faster than single stoneknot. I started doing double stoneknot in my rta runs after that. However, as I recall, John did not time it thoroughly. He accepted a case of double stoneknot being faster than single stoneknot because it is extremely cool, but I don't remember him making much effort to super optimize the single stoneknot route. I don't have any footage of him trying single stoneknot for the theory tas, so I don't have much to go on for what I may have been doing slower or faster during this timing. All I can say is that every attempt I made at double stoneknot using the same supercharge setup I used in this video came out to be a bit slower. I don't think I can necessarily say that double stoneknot is definitely slower, but I think someone better at optimizing movement than me should take a look to confirm it.

It didn't have any official PC release, so you'll have to emulate it. I'd recommend one of the more popular PS1 emulators today, Duckstation. I don't know how much experience you have with emulation so I don't know how much info I should give beyond that.

@@XANDOAndy used them about 10 years ago, but the ones I used, I doubt they're still around, however, that's a good piece of information, thank you very much! :)

I think they might be "frame perfect" in that there is only one frame where the boss is vulnerable between spins, but as long as you are in the air and spinning next to him during that time I think you should hit him. I'm not sure what the frame timing is on that exactly, but it is pretty tough. I only really started getting it down again at the end of this latest grind.

​​@@XANDOAndy the two new skips are getting k off the bush and flying over the door on bat caves right?

@@DirtyBillMurray902 By "getting the K off the bush" are you referring to the first museum segment? I've been doing that for a long time so I don't usually think of it as new, but I'm pretty sure I was the only person doing it. Flying over the door for bat caves is new. We also have a new skip in Toxic Factory that I did in my 100% and Power Level 10 pbs but that I found after this run. In the room with the first hostage, you can jump up a twisty stack of boxes instead of needing to hit a lever.

@@XANDOAndy yea that's what i meant and ok.

I'm enjoying any% as a means to work on optimizing movement, but I think the max completion category is probably going to be super interesting! I hope to work on routing that some.

One time I got to the Knarf fight and just let him throw several hundred bottles at me, tracking what color they each were. As I recall, it was super close to 50% purple, 25% red, and 25% green. This matched my intuition for fights I've had before and since. I don't know for sure that the odds are exactly that, but given that it ended up so close to those odds, it feels safe to assume the simplest possibility here. Anything beyond "give each color these odds" would have been an unnecessary amount of extra work for the devs.

We love empirical data. Makes enough sense. Now to run the statistics of it to determine how sure we are of these findings given you only did several hundreds and not several thousands.

I'm happy that it seems to be connecting with some people. I only picked up this game because I knew the publisher, A1 Games, focused on publishing "budget games", and I was really curious to see what their take on an RPG would be. This was a fun little game! I hope to introduce more people to it.

Lol, I don't think I figured it out until I was reading gamefaqs guides after beating the game
