Quote from Lord_VG:

Have a Wii? Cause both Toejam & Earl games are on Virtual Console.

Speaking of that, the VC lets you save & quit (well, not formerly I don't think, but I remember quitting once and restarting the Wii sometime later, and when I next played TJ&E the game automatically returned me to where I had left off), so you could do segmented if you wanted. Of course, that wouldn't really help all too much since you can't retry segments... or at least, I don't think.

Yeah, I forgot about fixed world, but I'm not sure I'd want to see a run of that... Kinda dilutes the TJ&E experience. That being said, fixed world would be conducive to a speedrun. Still, I think the bounty would have to insist on a random world run.

Glad to see you're interested, though!

The VC Home Menu Save is not a perament save spot, because when you continue again you cannot load up the exact spot again. It's like Owl Statue saving in Majora's Mask but without the copy file abuse (to keep that spot forever).

From the cancelled Toe Jam & Earl TAS:

Quote:

I play the "fixed" world, for two reasons. First, it's easier to compete on. Second, a "random" world is really just one of a half-dozen different fixed worlds selected at random, instead of a generated world.

^ Haha. That makes a lot of sense, actually. Far too many of those 'random' worlds had what I felt were the exact same levels. I guess I know why, now.

But yeah, I already knew how much easier it would be on fixed. I suppose it doesn't matter which mode, but if a runner chooses fixed, then the stipulation would have to be less lenient, I think.

I have no solution, but i admire the problem.

So, what is your conclusion? I guess you're still thinking about it? I myself will have to check out a lot of stuff about the game ( and buy it in the first place, probably along with a classic controller, of course ), so i'm still not sure if i'd prefer random or fixed world, now that i know that random means random fixed world Wink

The same probably goes for the amount of your bounty. I guess, my revenue would have been higher if i hadn't shown so much interest already Grin

but that's not so important, anyways. I hope we're not that capitalistic, yet Smiley

To not spam this thread with the run discussion, i've opened a topic for TJ&E here:

Angered Me, You have!

I am going to increase my former bounty for Metroid Prime any% speedrun. I will give between 300-500 U.S. dollars to anyone who can beat the game under an hour. I have only one rule, no out-of-boundary or secret worlds.

Andrew?! Smiley

I'm declaring a bounty of $50 for a sub-35 minute single segment run of Toejam and Earl 1 in either random world or fixed world mode. Sub-30 for $75. If multiple entries, fastest run earns the bounty.

Back in the game!

I somehow suspect that slowbro won't be back for payment on the pokemon fire red SS bounty...how sad!

Yes, a worthless avatar riding my posts.

What a dick. He also needs to fix all the links in his first posts since we got the boards all updated.

.. Holy fuck?! I would definitely pay some dough to see this happen (Though I don't think this will ever happen ... ). I'll add $150 of my own (in addition to AeonCore 's) to see this happen!

Any NTSC/PAL restrictions on those AH bounties?

I'll pitch in 100$ if that happens. AH is the most random shit ever, probably more random than games that put you of randomly generated levels. I'd like to see it happen on the NTSC version though, btw.

Hear that Internet? That's a $400 in bounty total!

If I ever get the pleasure of paying someone for this, my jaw will have to be surgically wired to remain off the floor.
