[TAS] GBA Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance "all furniture, best ending" by hellag[...] in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/3.... TAS originally published on 2017-07-19.
In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, the Belmont clan must again rise to the challenge: Dracula's castle is in disarray and is in serious need of an interior decorator! In this movie, Juste Belmont zips through walls, under floors, and over zombies with the very important task of rearranging furniture. (He also defeats Dracula and rescues his best friends along the way, but that's not very important.)
This movie is a 6:32.48 (23,549 Frames @60 FPS) improvement over its predecessor (tasvideos.org/2..., thanks to several new improvements and optimizations.

Carefully arranging furniture in a room, only later to destroy the entire castle the room is in. 👌

The castle will come back again and that room will become a bathroom

[@JarvisTastic]

Not much later either

[@ke8mattj]

Instead of worrying about the family job of killing Dracula for the 100th time, Juste decides to do a career change and become an interior designer instead. Too bad when he tries to evict Dracula after doing his best show piece, the death of Dracula ends up destroying the castle Juste worked so hard to flip.

Man, I need those Floating Boots! I also want to phase through walls while aiming to decorate a place I intend to destroy.

[@SpaceOink]

Before watched the video... Juste Belmont takes up the legendary Vampire Killer and head to Dracula in Castlevania. After watched the video..... Schrödinger Belmont takes up the legendary Vampire Killer and head to IKEAvania to collect furniture.

[@LordTyph]

And kill Dracula along the way because that's just what happens when you're a Belmont.

[@rogueports1]

The opening text crawl notes that Maxim is injured, and as it turns out, Maxim's run is now less than a minute long.

[@We_Are_I_Am]

Yeah if he can conquer Dracula's castle in 20 seconds while injured, just imagine what he can do at full strength.

[@Nanorisk]

Maxim is now a unit of time, which equals 20 seconds and a bit.

[@HarbingerYT]

@@Nanorisk So it takes about 42 Maxims for Juste to defeat Dracula.

[@jerppursh7570]

​@@HarbingerYT Juiced Belmont here just has other priorities 😂

[@LordTyph]

Death: Alright, time to fight the Belmo- Where'd he go? Did he- Did he just pass through the wall?

[@Mister32]

The less I know about a game, the more I somehow enjoy the TAS. What a wild ride "furniture%" was lmao

[@Fragmaster01]

"Come follow on the adventure through a castle that contains no less than eighty clashing colors in each room! Be amazed as Juste Belmont, Simon's grandson, has to do the usual vampire hunting despite looking nothing like his grandfather (or a man at all). Question his motives when he takes time out of his rescue mission to decorate the basement he will soon destroy! Feel the pain as Juste struggles to understand that there actually are two castles!! (Ouch my brain!)" - The description of the original run

[@BrickBreakerXX]

To be fair to HoD, the clashing colours aren't in the original GBA or SP-001 screens.

[@sleepyren_]

everything about this description is so accurate god damnit every room looks ugly as sin, for some reason he has white hair(?, and they tried so hard to give this game some replay value that they made the player collect fucking FURNITURE

[@sonicboy678]

@@sleepyren_ In fairness, the Wraith probably doesn't have nearly the taste in design as its namesake.

[@Dispencerhere]

Juste looks more vampire than dracula himself trust me.

[@TheTrueNehme]

@@BrickBreakerXX I guess it is fair to the agb-001 that the colors were impossible to see without a direct ray of unfiltered sunlight.

Juste is trying to catch up to Maxim, but he needs to be 13:24 faster. Sorry Juste.

[@edfmed1080]

There is something so weird about the music of this game where it kinda sucks at first but then you get accostum to it and its memorable

[@Sykroid]

That seems to be the entire game imo. It's just a different castlevania experience that's nothing like any other games in the series. Presentation-wise I mean. The backtracking and pacing is horrendous and I dont want to play it again anytime soon

[@edfmed1080]

@@Sykroid I have played it to completion a 2nd time and in my honest opinion, the backtracking isn't that bad because the game gives you plenty of options to move fast and if you know what you are doing or perhaps you use a guide, it doesn't seem to bad.

[@Sykroid]

@@edfmed1080 With a guide it isnt as bad. But playing for the first time, trekking across 2 castles for one breakable wall is more of a headache than anything. The dual castle idea was interesting though

I love how absolutely batshit insanely broken this game is but the music is atrocious.

[@TheAlCowlings]

It's actually good

[@Dyojenes]

The reason it may be so terrible because the GBA compresses sound to make sure the GBA can handle it. Maybe if the songs in this game were remixed with a modern sound it be pleasurable to someone's ears

[@kempokid2142]
