Any restrictions on the character to be used? |
Speed Runs and VideosI ... was reading through the SDA FAQ.
I noticed the part where it says that no "mixed in music" is allowed. Like all mario games, NSMB obiously has music in it so I dont see how that can be banned.

So I think people are more likely to do a Mario run. But if I were you, I'd offer the bounty for either and remove it once it is completed with either Mario or Luigi. Then again, I'm not the one with my money on the line, so it's up to you. |

Remember it's easier on restarts with Luigi--no star festival or cutscenes there.

That's a good point. With that in mind, Luigi might be easier overall. It'll likely be different for each runner.

Hi. I've never read/posted in this topic, but I thought I'd give it a go.
I've been wanting to see a Toejam & Earl (1) speedrun for quite some time. However, the levels in the game are generated randomly, so practicing would be difficult since no two runs would be alike. Also, the game is long and doesn't feature shortcuts of any sort, as far as I know.
Do you think there's a point to offering a bounty for it? And, if I did offer one, what if any stipulations should I propose? I'm thinking something like sub 90 minutes, but I'm basing that off a fuzzy memory of the last time I played the game. Less? Let me know what you guys think.

Obviously, the games will sell better if they are not labeled, "Fighting a Meaningless War Against People You Don't Know for a Cause You Don't Understand," but come on. |

I'm a huge fan of the Toejam 'n Earl series, and i think a run of Toejam 1 would be great, especially in random mode. Remember that there's a fixed world mode ( iirc even the default mode ), which would allow very precise planning. But this, of course, would be another category, and random mode would definitely need a lot of improvisation, so it's probably much more interesting, anyways. If you'd offer a bounty on that mode, i might consider running it. I'd first have to find a cartridge of the game, though. could be difficult  oh, and i'd just say the run needs to be SDA-verified as a quality stipulation. You don't know how fast it can get in advance. And if SDA doesn't accept it because of some other issues, let some other Toejam players judge if it's good. |

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: 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.
