[TAS] DS Super Scribblenauts "playaround" by Chef Stef & Kiwisauce in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2427M.html. TAS originally published on 2013-07-22.
Super Scribblenauts is the sequel to Scribblenauts, a puzzle game for the DS consisting of spawning any object from a database of thousands of possibilities (from "chair" to "God") to solve given situations. It is fundamentally the same game with two major novelties: the possibility to add adjectives (a color, a size, a state, etc.) to the objects we want to summon and the possibility to use the D-Pad to control Maxwell, the protagonist of both games, in addition to the touch screen, the only possible input method in the first installment.
This TAS completes the 10 main worlds of Super Scribblenauts. Speed is not the main goal; instead, the levels are completed in funny or unusual ways.

Schrodinger would be proud.

[@BMWM3GTR2001]

@@jongameaddict imma be that guy, but Schrodinger's Cat was never part of any scientific theory. Schrodinger constructed his imaginary experiment with the cat to demonstrate that simple misinterpretations of quantum theory can lead to absurd results which do not match the real world. Unfortunately, many popularizers of science in our day have embraced the absurdity of Schrodinger's Cat and claim that this is how the world really works.

Apparently for the first game, the devs spent basically an entire 6 months just researching various dictionaries to sort out objects for the game. And that was BEFORE they added adjectives.

[@jess648]

I love the dark sense of humor the TAS’ers have with some of the objects maxwell types like when they have to give a cow a home and they give it a slaughterhouse or dead lions being used for a bunch of the adjective levels. And the specific choices of objects and adjectives used throughout is funny too
