Shrek 2: Beg for Mercy (GBA) TAS in

This tool-assisted speedrun was created with BizHawk. Timing begins after entering the initials and ends on the last cutscene. According to BizHawk that's 14:57.827 minutes or 53625 frames.
Thanks to Michael Mahoney aka TheMightyGiantDad, whose speedrun was a huge help. You can watch it here: • Shrek 2: Beg 4 Mercy A...

This is very helpful!

I literally found out this existed today lmao. This was so cool to watch! I never imagined it would be a sub-15. A couple of thoughts: I wonder what exactly causes you to get a massive speed boost on swinging vines and chains. I've experienced it myself but never consistently. I imagine its just grabbing from the left and then a frame-perfect release? There is a new strat on the final boss that involves waiting to blow up the first poison apple a bit, but saves about 3.5 seconds overall. You can watch it in my new PB!

Thanks. I might rework the final boss as soon as I have some time. For the speed boost I need to look at it again. It's been a while since I did this TAS.

Thanks! :)

You're welcome. It was fun making it. :) Have a nice day.

Spongebob Supersponge GBA is another Idea it is very Short should take 18 minutes

[@mckniggediknack4973]

As always, thanks for the suggestion. There is already a TAS of Supersponge out there and it looks really good. :)

Were you considering submitting this to TASVideos? I just today completed a TAS of the original Shrek 2 GBA and I was thinking about looking at this game. Even if you aren't planning on submitting it, it would be cool if you uploaded it to TASVideos user files so other people could see it and improve it.

[@mckniggediknack4973]

Thanks for the suggestion. I never thought of uploading it there because it's just a thing I'm doing for fun. I probably will look into it soon.

​@@mckniggediknack4973 Looks like you got it posted, thanks! From my previous TAS, I know of some basic movement improvements that will make it a bit faster, so I'll try to work on that in the near-ish future (next few weeks/maybe a few months).

[@mckniggediknack4973]

You're welcome. I'm looking forward to it.
