How to complete Jet Set Willy in UNDER 2.5 MINUTES - Writetyper% speedrun in

[@kevinoconnor1704]

It took me a moment to realize quite how clever this run is. You essentially have to map every single room in the game and warp each time based on item, platform and enemy position. 4th dimensional thinking - love it!

[@PaulTaylor1]

Doctor Jones will never believe this!!!

[@HillierScott]

The single greatest spectrum thing I've ever seen. (And I'm someone who laid his garage floor to look like Miner Willy)

[@DannySalter]

I always thought I was pretty good at Jet Set Willy, but this just blew my mind.

[@MOSMASTERING]

Nostalgic Memories.. I was 5 years old in 1987 and used to wake up an hour early before school to play JSW. (It took 15-20 minutes to load from tape and crashed more often than not!) I never completed it (probably because it was not possible to complete due to a bug on release) I remember the joy of finally getting to another room.. Cold store and Off License were some of my favourite rooms.

[@steven-vn9ui]

So it is a cheat that allows this. Still, the dexterity and memory on this guy is pretty dam good!

[@RuffledBricks]

It is indeed a cheat, but getting the game this quick with the cheat is in no way easy.

I thought it was typewriter.

I'm not even sure what I just watched but that was impressive. I love the release upon winning, know that feeling....ah

[@StargateMax]

Unf*ckingbelievable! :O I can't even play this normally, and I can barely finish it in like 2 hours when I have all the cheats enabled plus saving the game state all the time. There are tons of places where the falling loop glitch happens, and in case of the god mode the falling/dying cycle would be infinite. It's a super hard game.

[@mac605]

We must perform a quirkaflegg!!! ;)

[@Mohawk763]

That's some impressive skills. Room changes mid jump and some pixel perfect timing!

[@SuspenduAuGaffa]

Wow, this is extraordinary! A cheat code masterpiece.

[@Prokaryon]

That was amazing - congrats.

[@ChrisWalshZX]

That is truly amazing! That must have taken ages to first work out the optimum ordering but then to practice the room changes. I particularly like the mid-jump switches and the mega tree jump (bottom left). Was this with the unpoked JSW release? Oh.. and how many takes?

[@RuffledBricks]

This was the poked one. Even with Writetyper it's impossible to complete the unpoked JSW due to the right hand item in Conservatory Roof resulting in an insta-kill. I have no idea how many takes this took, but it was definitely more than one.

[@mwk1]

PRZEKOZAK! 🍻

[@davidmccormick2957]

Never completed it too difficult, completed manic miner after years and just went back to first cavern in end

[@joelnicholson]

You are the DJ Jazzy Jeff of Let's Plays, cutting and mixing those screens with a professional ease. My only complaint is the comparative lack of your usual hilarious commentary.

[@RuffledBricks]

I had to really concentrate on these runs, so couldn't comment on them as much as I would've liked. Maybe the next step will be Writetyper + Snarky Comments% speedruns.

[@joelnicholson]

@@RuffledBricks don't worry about it boss, still amazing work. I was only joking! 😁

[@solid_snayke6905]

Insane.

[@middle-agedclimber]

Absolutely insane. How the f did you figure out the sequence??????

[@NomenLuni1975]

Very impressive. Well done.

[@jimbo573]

What is this witchcraft?!

[@PM9Video]

My thoughts exactly

[@pigpenpete]

It's not on the linked WR times board anymore? I guess they didn't like the cheats

[@RuffledBricks]

It's still there, but it's under the WRITETYPER category, which is a Misc. category so therefore won't show as default.

[@Danbotology]

This is what they used to call 'poking' wasn't it? If I'm wrong and you have the time or inclination, please correct me!

[@Debbiebabe69]

No, this is plain exploiting a dev-inserted test system. Poking was writing an actual program to insert, or 'poke', extra code into the game itself. Poking *changed the physical code* of the game. As an example, a line in the code sets your 'health' to 100, you then 'poked' an extra line that se the 'health' to 100000.

[@incumbentvinyl9291]

What the hell is going on here...

[@mizmera]

Room cheat. Not fair.

[@apx5777]

Amazing

[@oakvalepennybridge]

I finally completed the game a couple of years ago. Possibly my favourite of all spectrum games, I just love the surreal dream / nightmare quality to it all But the ending was a major anticlimax!

[@DaleKirkley]

Every Spectrum game ending was an anticlimax, nature of the beast.

[@kriszteblade]

Ha ha and I thought I was a good JSW player

[@wheezingjuice]

bs. you're cheating, that simple

[@RuffledBricks]

If it's that simple, you do it

[@wheezingjuice]

you're missing the point. you claim in the title you beat the game in a ridiculously low amount of time without mentioning you're cheating massively by warping rooms. thats click bait and generally considered a dick move promoting videos. but do what you must, man 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@RuffledBricks]

@@wheezingjuice I literally mention in the video description that I used a cheat code. Plus the title says "Writetyper%", which is an explicit reference to the cheat code.

[@wheezingjuice]

​@@RuffledBricks🤷🏻‍♂️ not everyone on earth knows what typewrite is. but nevermind I find it subjectively misleading, that's just me

[@RuffledBricks]

@@wheezingjuice Well I'm sorry that you lost 2 minutes of your day

[@ingolfurarnar697]

How do you jump between rooms like that?
