[TAS] NES Lunar Pool by Bisqwit in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1565M
TAS originally published on 2010-07-08
Lunar Ball, known as Lunar Pool in the US, is, as the name suggests, a pool game for the NES, comprising 60 stages of oddly-shaped tables.
With some heavy support from a bot and the help of an unusual glitch on two tables, the game is completed in record time.
The friction of the pool table can be adjusted; in this run it is left alone. See also the frictionless run ( tasvideos.org/1500M ). Reading the submission text ( tasvideos.org/2676S ) is recommended.

This game is so fun to watch as a TAS.

[@am1k98]

watching this as a human Its even more awesome and surprising 🤯

[@DouglasZwick]

I love the effect of a ball disappearing in the pocket in this game. Just a simple little effect, but it looks so cool.

[@josheldridge8546]

You know, as many times as I've watched these TASs, it never occurred to me to intentionally tap shots like that to keep the "rate" bonus intentionally low and save time.
That's clever, Bisqwit. Good job!

Glitched levels start at 15:06 and 23:27

[@MoneyManHolmes]

Is the glitch in the game every time or do you have to do some kind of setup to trigger it?

[@MCGeorgeMallory]

To those disappointed by the extra shots, it apparently cuts off ~15 minutes of just watching the score count up. As the run with extra shots is ~23 minutes long, I think we can all agree that taking extra shots was a good idea.

This is how I play in my mind, but things go horribly wrong when I put it into practice.

[@RealAlphaMale69]

Lol

[@sirenlover100]

I remember the zero friction TAS of this game

[@RENhoekLOUD]

Nunca supe a qué se refiere friction en este JuEgO

[@YYFFZZ]

Ah, the Memories...

[@twitchsopamanxx]

Ah, a game from my childhood and from one of those '10000 games in 1' controller.

[@RemindMeToCheck]

Venom Guilty Gear.

[@glasiosflame1224]

WOW GREAT!

[@SteamGrace]

wow, they finally added new maps to pool

[@DoJoTron]

I feel this game would be impossible without a TAS

[@DFloyd84]

Man, this kid TAS has got some mad skillz. Plays nearly every game to perfection.

[@dbycrash]

I came... I also like to put on the soundtrack for this game and dress up like a ninja carrying out stealth missions in my home

[@fushigiman140]

I think Tas try to reset rate to prevent bonus stage trigger

[@albatron604]

15:18 and 23:35 are the best.

[@crankypipo]

Great game, can never get past lvl 10. Reading the comments the non hitting shots were a way to reset? I thought that was ball positioning
First time in 30 yrs of my life playing on snes i see a perfect being executed, nice!👍

[@MorinoTaiga]

Is that a bug in stage 40?

Hey, where is 4 bonus stages after completing 60 stages?

[@kiresgamechannel3814]

Hmm. I thought that game is endless.
