hi

And segment 3 is...
-
-
-
-
-
DONE! Grin

Yea. And it's not being done again.

My time was 25:30, only 7 seconds faster than the one where I screwed up badly on episode 3. Makes me wonder...

No major mistakes, fortunately. Durians were perfect. 1:29. Mecha bowser in 5 shots...sure I could do 4 but I barely lost any time.

Lost time on the bullet bills being annoying...it would've been a ton faster but two purples crashed into each other x_x Then one crashed into me...and some of them just go around in circles. Then you get 3 waves of blacks in a row...

On both obstacle courses I did something new...on the normal course I jumped to an obvious platform i'd never noticed before...normally waited. Didn't miss any rounds of the orange platforms, therefore not missing any off of red. Red coins I did a triple jump from coin 6 and ended up on the 2nd orange platform...no problems there either.

Episode 3...well I bumped the noki at the clam area, lost a second, cost me the ship. So I do this crazy spin jump and still miss it. Ah well. I proceed. I end up getting that coin after the girder blue coin. The 2nd ship coin I hover to from the tree, and end up back ON the tree without touching the ground Smiley

Another close call. I almost fall off again but I hang on (literally).

Episode 4 all luck worked out at the right moment...fun Smiley

100 coins. Yoshi wants a coconut. I am getting coins and I see the coconut go into the water. ........ I do find it later and finish up with no worries. Scary moment though. Had a little trouble finding the last few coins...blame it on the coconut.

Episode 5 was fine...I do run for the top blue coins. No diving up here. Especially not now x_x i'm even hesitant to jump on the ferris wheel.

So that is that. Hopefully segment 4 won't be taking me quite as long. It's quick.

tldr summary: segment 3 done, a few minor issues, did a few new things, coconut tried to mess me up, failed, gg 25:30.

And segment 3 is...

hi

in other words, 4 is done, so far...I might add something else in because i'm still waiting a bit for the ship

Awesome stuff. I'm really looking forward to seeing this vid.

Sweet, I like that you're really coming along with the game so far.

Nice Bulblax. Hehe. I'm going to wait until your 100% run is done, so I will know how to get to all opf the Shine Sprites when I decide to play the game again. :3

I don't know enough about the game. The last 3D Mario game I played was Super Mario 64, and I can only get like, 116 stars still. xD

I hope the rest of the run goes well for you! :3

Boy... this one sounds really hard, even though the game is... well simplistic.

I haven't found all the shines in this one myself. It will be interesting to see how the later ones turn out.

Sry to bother you but it's nearly 3 weeks without a message Roll Eyes

Any sign of life would be enough Smiley

hi

Hi. I am still doing this. Next week is exams, then after the week after that I will be gone for two weeks.

Yet I am not giving up on this. It WILL be finished, one way or another.

Also don't get your expectations up too much. Sure, it's not gonna suck, but I'm not expecting it to be as good as like trihex's recent yoshi's island runs etc.

And it's not like i've been working on it constantly the last two weeks. I've just had so much schoolwork and shit as the year nears its end. I was gone most of memorial day weekend and the weekend after that.

Hoping progress will speed up exponentially when summer comes. :p

That's what I wanted to hear Smiley

Good luck in your further progress *THUMBS UP*

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

Comparing this game to Yoshi's Island is like comparing the original Super Mario Brothers to Super Mario 64.

Can't be worse than some of the runs I've seen lately. :3

I am still eagerly anticipating the arrival of this run. :3

Good luck!

Yeah, I'm hoping the same thing for my run. It sounds like excellent work so far, Bulbax. Get back to playing and making more progress as soon as you can b/c I'm patiently but at the same time eagerly waiting for this run as I'm sure a lot of other people are already. Good luck on exams and do a lot of good things on SMSS when you get back to playing it.

I'm currently trying to get the red-coins-shine in the pinball-machine. Is there any trick how to achieve it or do I just have to try on? I would be interested if you do this shine in the middle of a segment or at the beginning, so you can try again without a huge loss of time. The same goes for shine to which you have to travel with Yoshi over the sea.

Bulblax

2006-06-12 02:29:16 pm

hi

The yoshi at sea one surprisingly comes at the end of a segment, although only a 5-minute or so segment.

The pinball I dunno exactly...probably at the beginning of one of the later segments. Maybe the last one...

If you use this sequence break it shouldn't be a problem.

thx

I was just spending half an hour getting to the platform^^
And then I didn't get all the coin, then I saw the tube, jumped in -> Sad

edit: Yeah I made it Smiley

Only 2 Shines left...

yes and I am using that Smiley

When you get all 120 Shines is there anything that changes in the game other than the red sun in the menu screen? Something like the the Yoshi cannon in sm64...

I think the only things that change is that and screenshot for the ending.

Any other changes are probably insignificant.

hi

I revamped 4 and 5's routes and added in an obvious coin that I was going right over and skipping in 4, and to fill the gap I stuck the sewer coins in there, it's still ~5 minutes, didn't lose any time because I still have to wait for the boat.

Segment 5 I have to encorporate the five out-of-the-way coins (giant pokey, triangles, two M's at the back of the level) into episode 6 somehow...this segment is probably around 10 or 12 minutes.

Neither is taped formerly but I hope to tape both tomorrow.

hi

Four is done....and for once the best attempt I did kept through until the whole 5 minutes of it..no major mistakes either!

This segment is really cool to watch though...lots happens, no cutscenes

random fact: I use yoshi's super spin jump 7 times in this segment, the last being the sewer jump which is the single coolest trick in the whole run

Anyways...I was gonna tape 5 (I might even later tonight) but 4 took longer than I expected

Still a bunch of things that need clarification/strategy suggestions

1) I don't know what SDA's current ruling is, but are intentional deaths allowed? The only place where intentional deaths are applicable is in the sand bird course, where one of the coins is almost impossible to get back on the bird after it. I'm already using "save warping" (because not using it just looks really stupid imo and wastes time) but I know that's allowed.
2) Ricco Harbor 100 coins. Still a ways off but it is the only 100 coins where I have no idea what I'm doing.
3) I figured out today that my VCR has a "SP" and a "SLP" setting. I remember someone saying that one was better...I'm pretty sure everything has been SP so far.
4) Anyone know if Yoshi's fruit in Pinna Park (and other Yoshis) is just random (usually I get banana but I got coconut when practicing segment 5 today)? I know the Yoshi that you chase from shadow mario always wants a banana (I even grab the banana in the run before shadow mario does his "blah blah I was gonna ride that yoshi")...but I see no consistency in that one...while Ricco Harbor always wants a durian and Sirena Beach always wants a pineapple etc.
5) That's it; no #5.

for you tl;dr's as usual: 4 is done and it's great

LP is a scheme to tape twice as long, but the resulting video quality is horrible. Don't ever use that.

Anyway, keep up the good work. This has the potential to be a great run.

Intentional death/death abuse is allowed, but the run will be classified as such, and a run that has no intentional deaths will generally take precedence over a run without them. If a game doesn't have any runs up yet, Radix also likes to get a "clean" run up that doesn't have any tricks like intentional death. You'd do best to ask him about it.

From my experience with the game, the fruit you need get for Yoshi in Pinna Park is random, but some are easier to get than others.

Ok, SP it is. I"ll probably try to avoid death abuse as well.

Anyway it's about 95 degrees today and I'm likely spending the entire day in the basement so I'll have plenty of time to work on this Smiley
