Zelda Rulez!

I started to improve current Donkey Kong Country 3 105% segmented speedrun on sda. When I watched this run I noticed some improvements here and there and then tought about improving current run. I've done 12 segments now and more is coming. I'm about one minute ahead of current sda run. Example end of segment 11, I have 23% and time is 00:15. And Current sda run segment 11 have 23% and time is 00:16. I'm gonna improve every segment much as I can and use all new tricks what old run doesn't use, like Ellie skip in Murky Mill and Bobbing Barrel Brawl to save some time. Then use some warp barrels what old run didn't use, better luck manipulation on banana bonuses and better movement overall on each level.

I'm gonna do one segment for each level and that way make run even more perfect, like old run did. I'm mainly gonna use same route than him but I'm gonna make overworld banana bird collection little bit better. Like opening Krematoa with turbo ski and get two banana birds same time left side of the bazaar. I think I'll end up at least 52 segments like old run did, or maybe less. I'm no that sure about that yet.

And of course this run is done on NTSC version! Not on PAL version like I first planned to do SS 105% run on PAL version. I dropped that idea for now and moved to make segmented run instead. you can find old topic about it here:
Topic: http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/donkey_kong_country_3_105_ss_run.html

Here is link to my current segments what I've done and I'll update this list when I get new segments done. I've also made playlist for those segments in my youtube channel.

Feedback is welcome and tell me what you guys think about current segments. If i did miss some shortcuts be sure to tell me because I may not know them all. And or course lets discuss about this now, strategies or other things what come to your minds. I'll edit this first post if something relevant comes up ^_^

I got around fixing that buzzing noise thing. From segment 13 forward there is not that buzzing noise anymore.

Complete. Global. Saturation.

In segment 12, that sound problem seems to not stop even after you reset your game to prove your time. In my experience, that means one of the cables running from the game to the TV connectors doesn't have a good connection. What kind of set-up are you using?

Zelda Rulez!

I play on PAL console what is modified to play NTSC games and with 60Hz screen but I don't think that is where problem is coming from. For video and audio connector I have RGB cable (not nintendo's one) hooked to my dvd recorded and from dvd recorder it goes to the TV with scart cable. I think it might be that RGB cable what I use.

One thing what I also noticed when I touch little bit of the connector and wiggle it (snes end) it does buzzing noise and picture have little pixel things coming up. So that cable might be my problem now. I need to test it with composite cable does same happen with it. Can snes connector be dirty or something?

EDIT:
I figured it's cable what is my problem now. I'll get new one and then start record segments again. Cable what I now have is piece of ****
I hope sda doesn't mind that little buzzing noise in last 12 segments what you guys think? If rest of them are without it and whole run is recorded with RGB cable too. My composite cable works fine but I don't wanna switch to it because quality will make huge difference in future segments. Thanks all of you!

EDIT 2:
Problem fixed. Now I can record segments wihtout that buzzing noise!

Segment 13 done! No buzzing sound anymore in from this segment forward. Leave a comment if you have anything to say!

This is segment 13 for me and segment 14 for old sda run because I'm putting overworld banana bird collection more optimized and have less segments in the end.

EDIT:
Improved segment 13 about half second and here is new segment 13
I also deleted old one what I don't need anymore.

EDIT2:
New segment 14 what was pretty easy to do and didn't have to practice almost at all. This segment is about 4s faster than old sda segment.

Just bringing this topic up. I made five new segments and linked them to this topic. If nobody doesn't comment here anymore after this or there isn't any discussion going on. I'll not update this anymore. Just go check my youtube page and you can find new segments from there.

New segment! I think I can do this world before new zelda comes out. When I get my hands to new zelda game, this game is going to take a break.

Are the optimizations from individual level segments really worth all that extra map time? I only watched the most recent segment, but that seems like a pretty decent chunk of time going there, saving, and then back to the level in the next segment.

Ganondorf = Donkey Kong LOOK IT UP!!

Like the previous run, Kazooie's goal/target time sits as an in-game time, not real-time. In this game, the only thing that is counted against in-game time is direct playing of the levels. Map time doesn't count as all.

This run is going to take break now because new zelda game. I'll get back to this after when I've got enough of new zelda.
I'll complete this run but for now I really want to play zelda game when it comes out!

I might return to this someday again when I've time or more interest for this game. Sorry about this!
