[TAS] SNES Mega Man & Bass "100 CDs" by sparky, parrot14gree & woabclf in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2011-11-23
Rockman & Forte (ロックマン&フォルテ), known as Mega Man & Bass in the Western world, used to be the last game in the original Rockman/Mega Man series, until Rockman & Forte Mirai kara no Chōsensha (ロックマン&フォルテ 未来からの挑戦者) was released for the WonderSwan.
This time around, Dr. Wily has his own creation turned against him, allowing the player to use Mega Man or a bad guy!
However, in this run, the players only use Mega Man and collect each and every CD in the game, which shouldn't be possible using only one character. Then again, many things happen in this movie that weren't intended to be possible.
This run is a collaboration between sparky ( tasvideos.org/... ), the current author of the other branches for this game, parrot14green ( tasvideos.org/... ), the author of the previous "100 CDs" run, and woabcfl ( tasvideos.org/... ), the author of the Rockman no Constancy runs. It improves by 01:40.97. You can read the for more details.
There are two more Rockman & Forte runs to watch on this site; featuring and as fast as possible, without worrying about CD collection.

Remember. Glitches are inherently part of the game they're in, so it's canon that Mega Man and Bass could phase through solid objects and corrupt the fabric of reality if they wanted to.

[@davidthecommenter]

"Hey, Light. I got all those discs and defeated Wily afterwards." "...What do you mean it hasn't even been an hour?"

[@abraveastronaut]

Teleportation

[@mrme.484]

.....teleporting can phase through solid objects, and centuar flash already warps reality. Two steps away from doing this in canon.

@@diego65291Well, since god is not real, ungodly events such as this are possible.

[@solarflare9078]

Easily Capcom's most impressive SNES game, both graphically, and sound wise. The sound in particular is so good now. It's not using tinny instruments anymore and a lot of the instruments are of high quality (Piano, fake square wave, bass, etc). The composer who made this worked on CPS2 games too! Good stuff!

[@TheWoodenPowerhouse]

Tiny instruments not "tinny!"

[@Randomno2]

@@TheWoodenPowerhouse Pretty sure he does mean tinny

[@MoisesCharles]

You're deaf, this is the worst-sounding Mega Man/X game I've ever heard. The music is incredibly lame-sounding due to bad use of instruments, as if someone composed the songs and another person just threw a dart at a paper saying what MIDI instrument would be used for the melody.

Its really Stupid why they didn’t include this in the megaman collection 2, I really enjoyed this game and would love it on the switch.

[@murphmariotwopointoh7714]

I dunno, ask Capcom.

[@QuadFactor21]

Yeah, it's lame they didn't include this one, I guess it's because it's not a numbered Mega Man game. Then again, they referenced it in Mega Man 9, which implies they consider it part of the classic series.

[@leonardovieiradesouza8115]

What a mess I loved it

[@khsabia]

Wait, so when playing this casually, how are you supposed to know where to do Rush searches?

[@Xenofan6471]

Those glitches are only in the Snes version of the game ?

[@gabrieljoseozanan6989]

Wait, did they replace the boss re-fights with those weird bosses at 30:10? Edit: They dit not.

[@richardwithanarr]

These aren't bosses, they're special weapon checks that only break if you use the specific weapons on them, and there's a minor skill requirement (use the drill separated, move the remote bomb up and down, push the ice block so it ricochets off the wall, etc.) They give big bolts worth lots of currency (yeah, megaman with a store) when you break each of them, and it's available pretty early in the game so you can get free bolts if you need. But the tas doesn't care about the bolts so we don't even see them spawn in. Boss rush begins late 34 minutes in.

[@gabrieljoseozanan6989]

@@richardwithanarr Yeah, it seems I posted this question far too early. MB.

@@gabrieljoseozanan6989 it's all good! it's definitely not a thing in most megaman games, and you didn't know what the area was for, so I figured I'd explain.

Very sorry to hear that. I think it looks awesome.

[@r4dios1lence92]

See runners skipping the CDs on first stage "Oh, I guess they'll get a movement option that is faster later" Starts zipping like crazy thanks to Ice Wall "...oh"

[@AndrewBlechinger]

and this is why they do Cold Man first despite the fact that he has 120f invincibility between hits. the Forte any% run loses a LOT of time there as a result

[@jivjov]

Yeah all the wall zips make these runs a bit painful on the eyes for me to watch....worth it though, this is one of my fav megaman games

[@hypemugen]

5:08 "hey megaman you have to finish this puzzle real quick" *BEEP WRONNG* Wait wtf are you doing **glitches out of the room lmao**

[@TheWoodenPowerhouse]

You just skipped and got past through walls whilst pressing pressure plate madly, not bad when you're glitchy.

I never played or watched this game, but when I saw the preview of the Ice Wall, I knew what was going to happen. I know very well about other games that abilities that gives you "platforms"/collision can be incredibly buggy.

[@zachzap9987]

This run is beautiful! One of my favorite parts about watching runs is seeing how fast they can clear a stage before the music loops! I may only like about half of this soundtrack, but that half is fucking FLAWLESS and easily the best of Classic, hell, all of Megaman!
