Snow White in Happily Ever After(SNES)

2014-11-29 05:19:10 pm

This is a pretty interesting and fun game, I think. I'm surprised that so few people know about it. It's a typical platformer, except that you have to collect a certain number of coins before you reach the exit, which makes routing interesting. The number of coins increases depending on the difficulty, so each one would be a different category. My current best time is a 14:19 on Normal. It's a good run, but there are improvements possible.

Possible time saves that I know of on this run:

Cloud Land: Went back for unnecessary coins: 3 sec.

Mother Nature: bad execution: 10-15 sec.

Realm of Doom: picked up coins slowly, and changed my route in middle: 10-15 sec.

Courtyard: short fall death, and bad execution: 15-20 sec.

Maliss: didn't have best item: 5-20 sec.

I finally got the run that I want for now, an 11:58. The time save mainly came from improved routing and execution. There are still improvements, though.

Main possible time saves:
The Forest: bad execution - 5 sec
Crystal Caves: short death - 10 sec.
The Courtyard: got unnecessary coins, and got hit a few times: 10-15 sec.

Sub 11:30 is possible, but I feel like taking a break from this game.

I've come back to this game, but I'm running the other difficulties currently. In easy, I got a pretty solid PB of 9:49, which can probably come down to about 9:20 with current strats. In difficult, my PB is 34:36, but the route still needs to be worked on, and I just found a good area to grab coins in the Courtyard, which wasn't in the PB, which will save about 45 seconds, I estimate. Hopefully I can get difficult to a sub-30.

Easy in 9:49 -

Difficult in 34:36 -

just improved my easy time to a 9:21. There weren't any major mistakes, but the time can be improved with better movement. A sub-9 is probably possible with near-perfect execution.

Maybe a bit, but my main priorities right now are Normal and Difficult, because much more optimization is possible in those difficulties.

Just got a significant improvement in normal mode of 10:56. I still think that it can be a little better, though, because I had an 8 sec. death in Crystal Caves, and my Courtyard 1 was a little slow.
