Watched a bunch of random segments, this has got to be one of the most entertaining speedruns to watch. Do you think there's any possibility of single segment runs? I imagine it would be very difficult, but I'd watch that all day.

I do plan on doing RTA runs after AGDQ, and figuring out some safer strats/routes Tongue

of course, after this segmented run is done too (hopefully by end of year)

Which level are you referring to? But yeah prism prison #1 was stupidly hard to do...

i'm still catching up, almost finished watching world 2. i just meant in general i wouldn't want to do 100%. getting some of those coins looks like a huge pain!

Annnnd we're done! Here are all 6 refights.

The total time adds up to 3:59:33, which is sub 4 hours! I already made a SDA submission, so hopefully that'll get enough verifiers quickly. Meanwhile I'm doing a frame count of every segment so I can get a more accurate timing, then going to work on post-commentary for every segment. Cheesy

I'll keep this thread updated

After doing frame counts and fixing a few timings, adding up all the frames sums to 3:59:40!

I timed these starting from gaining control on the hub menu to the first frame the save dialogue shows up for each segment. There are two exceptions:

Segment 1: I started timing the frame I can advance the Merfle's first dialogue box, and ended timing on the first frame the save dialogue box appears

Segment 65: I started timing from gaining control on the hub menu to the frame of the last hit on Shake King

My question is, for SDA timing, do I need to end timing on the last hit in the last segment? Or do I end timing upon the final save? There technically is a few dialogue boxes I need to mash through after beating the Shake King again.

The segmented run is up for verification - https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/runs_needing_verifiers_327_new_runs_dec._13_2015.html

I'm in the process of encoding all of the segments right now, which will take forever Sad

It can't possibly take longer than Neon City. Forever is about 75% of a Neon City, at maximum.

Congrats on completing the run, and good luck with verification!

I was a bit bored so I was messing around with the optimal area order for a 100% RTA. The fastest order is:

1 then 5 then 2-3-4

You barely get enough coins in area 1 to buy the area 5 map (make sure to get the 7 hidden gold coins during Whoopsy Desert's runback trip 2!). Area 5 easily has enough coins to buy all the remaining maps in one go. So the number of shopping trips remains the same.

This is fastest because the cutscene to watch a single area unlock is faster than resetting, while resetting is faster than watching at least two areas unlock. With this route, you watch the cutscene for a single area once, and you reset once. Doing 1 then 2-3 then 4-5 (or some other double paired areas) means you reset twice, which is a bit slower.

This is nice because if I really wanted to be suicidal, I can get creep blue sea 1 trip out of the way sorta early Tongue

But I'm not sure if I really want to go that far...

finally had some time to finish, excellent run! i especially enjoyed watching strats i hadn't seen before in disturbing tomb, wreck train 2, its-all mine, chortlebot, and all the sub levels.

man i hate d. tomb and its-all mine, and holy shit neon city 2 and d. express 2 look like pains in the ass. nice work on all of those. and dude, i share your love for launchpad labyrinth. probably my favorite level in the game (and you used some really cool 100% strats i've never seen).

also, i love how the vine patches work in this game. so much fun to "climb" lol
