My TAS Speedruns Collection

I am MattyXB and have done some TAS Speedruns for GameBoy. Here you find all which I have completed, begin or maybe plan to run. But I will promise nothing, so just wait till I finish the next run and see if this will be good enough.

To make it clear, these are all TAS runs (Tool-Assisted-Speedruns). Played on Emulator with SaveStates, Re-records and Frame Advance. So most is not possible to do these runs tricks or things on real console.

GameBoy

Balloon Kid (JUE)

Time: 29:11
Re-record: 3469
* Aims for the fastest time
* Never die
* Use Glitches & Tricks
* Use only Balloons, when there is no other way
* Catch as less Balloons as possible
A nice flying game. I try to use Balloons only when its not possible without them. So I jump often from bird to bird or fish to fish and this is near impossible sometimes. Sometimes I use the same Balloon more times. Just jump off and later jump on again.
Fastest time is no big problem, because its an automatic scrolling game. So you must only at the end at the left site when the exit appear. Only thing is, that you must defeat the Bosses as fast as possible. In Stage 8 it looks maybe not so fast, but you can only hit him, when he open the mouth too and not only show his head. Si it is as fast as possible.
I try too to catch as less Balloons as possible, because it save too some Frames, when they not count after the Stage.
The hard part from this movie is the controlling from the character. Its a very bad controlling while flying and walking. She run fast and slide long till stop and you can't control her good too while she fly. So the movie looks maybe not astetic and good.
I found out a nice Glitch in Stage 7. When you jump on spikes you normaly die. But when you jump as fast as possible, you can jump over the spikes without get hit. So you can get over some ways without balloons. Same Glitch work in Stage 8 inside the Fire.
Other Trick which I found out can you see in an earlier Stage. I destroy the Balloons and walk through the crabs without get hit.
Stage 1 - Never use Balloon, catch 2 Balloons
Stage 2 - 1 time I use Balloon, catch 5 Balloons
Stage 3 - 6-7 times I use Balloons, catch 7 Balloons
Stage 4 - 4 times I use Balloons, catch 7 Balloons
Stage 5 - 8 times I use Balloons, catch 3 Balloons
Stage 6 - 1 times I use Balloons, catch 6 Balloons
Stage 7 - 2-3 times I use Balloons, catch 3 Balloons
Stage 8 - 1 time I use Balloon, catch 10 Balloons

Boomer's Adventure in Asmik World (U)

Time: 39:14
Re-record: 7780
* Aims for the fastest time
* Take no Damage
* Use no Password
* Manipulate Luck
* Use Tricks & Glitches
My third run which I have finish. I have play this game too as child and like it. Most I like the Dino, which looks so cute. But its a hard game and I have never beat the last Boss. So some day after think about some Speedruns which I like to do this was one from my first ones which I will complete.
I found some tricks in the later Boss Stages, so I have done some Stages again to finish some Bosses faster. I found out, that some Bosses will defeat faster, when I throw the item not as fast as possible. Its much better, when I wait just 2 Frames, then I must not hit some Bosses so often. I think this trick will not work by the first Bosses, but I must try it later, then I can maybe finish this game a bit faster. But for now its near complete and near fast as possible. Found out, that this trick work only when I use boomerang. With bone I can hit the Boss as fast as possible.
Now defeat the 5. Boss much faster. So I must redone all Stages again back. So here now the faster movie arrive at the last Boss. Some Stages work now much faster too which was just luck.
SaveStates Infront of every Boss

Castlevania Adventure, The (U) [!]

Time: 18:07
Re-record: 4645
* Aims for the fastest time
* Take no Damage
* Use Tricks
* Manipulate Luck
Contain some nice tricks like Rope Jumping and other things. Takes no Damage, so I lose a bit time at some places. But it was hard at some points to take no Damage.

Catrap (U)

Time: 59:22
Re-record: 1959
* Aims for the fastest time
* Use no password
My second game, which I have run. This is much more perfect. Start everything as fast as possible and switch as fast as possible. But still a long game. It takes near 1 hour. I have think it will be faster, but after I have done near the half I have think it will takes a bit over a hour. So I am happy, that this is now under 1 hour.
The game itself is a nice puzzle game with Cats. You must solve 100 Stages to finish this game. I have own this game as child and complete it in a holiday trip. Now after years I have finally play it again. And this time I have too done all by myself without any help.
SaveStates every 10 Stages

Final Fantasy Adventure (U) (Movie Version 3.0)

* Aims for fastest time
* Take Damage only at places where is no other way
* Manipulate luck
* Best useage from items
* Walk the fastest ways
* Never Save
* Abuses programming errors in the game
* Uses no warps
Redone the second time. So the third run Version. Now much more perfected. Every Boss fights is much faster now and everything looks great now. Over 8 minutes faster then my second run.

I think a Glitch run will follow now. This will contain 3 Warp Glitches which will save much time. See some from the glitches and how they work under this file here.

Final Fantasy Adventure (U) (Movie Version 4.0 Warp Glitch Run)

Time: 1:09:04
Re-record: 18272
* Aims for fastest time
* Take Damage only at places where is no other way
* Manipulate luck
* Best useage from items

* Saved the game
* Abuses programming errors in the game

The fourth try from this game. This time a Warp run to save much time. Its over 24 minutes faster through the Warps. Enjoy some nice Glitches in the game which allow you to skip many parts from the game which you normaly can't skip. Bosses and cutsequences and much more.

Final Fantasy Adventure - 4 Glitches which warp you to different places

Here a nice Movie from a Glitch, which I found out while try to run the game a third time. You walk 2 screens to the right from Kett's Mansion, and walk one left again and you will be in Snowland. Its not so easy as I write it, you must do many things, that it will happen. The most important thing seems, that you must cut 3 from the grasses with the sickle and then move some Frames down before enter the next screen. But it work often here and you will be in Snowland without a Chocobo and can't escape there anymore I think. Add 3 more Warp glitche, which I found from an other website. At the moment I am working on a full Warp run from this game. It will use 3 from these Warps. It will near 24 minutes faster then my third run. Not 100% sure, because in the moment only 2 Warps done which save near 24 minutes. But I think the last one will not save so much. So just wait till its finish. The other run will still stay on this site, because you skip so much with these Warps, that some things get lost and you will maybe not understand the game anymore. I think for fans from this game both runs are great to watch.
1. Warp from Wendel to Jadd
2. Warp from Medusa Cave to Cyklop/Golem Cave
3. Warp from Kett's Mansion to Snowfield
4. Warp from woods near Wendel to Snowfield

Gargoyle's Quest (UE) [!]

Time: 24:57
Re-record: 5593
* Aims for the fastest time
* Never die
* Take damage to save time
* Use Glitches & Tricks
* Manipulate Luck
* Use no Password
This was a hard run to do. I have take a break some month, to get new energie and motivation for this run. One from my shortest runs, but with more Re-record then longer movies from me. So I think this one look great. Jump most as late as possible. Jump only so far as you need and fly as long as you only need.
One nice Glitch have I found out in the beginning from Stage 2. There I jump into the wall not sure why, but it happen and looks great. I have try to reproduce it in Stage 1, but this has not work. Jump for 7 Frames, then it will maybe work somewhere.
One other nice Glitch, which is too short can you see after I defeat the 2. Boss. There I hang on the wall which will opened, but I still will hang in the air.
One little thing, which looks too good. When you fall down, fire and fly again next Frame it looks like you walking in the air a short time.
One nice trick which I found out can you see before I get the Falcon Wings. I speak first with the ghoul which stand before the broken bridge. He laugh and move away, because he think you will fly over the bridge with you Wings Level 1. But now I don't go over the bridge, I go back and get the Falcon Wings. Now I can fly over the bridge with the new Falcon Wings. Why is this a trick? Because I skip a hard fight with 2 enemies. When you first get the Falcon Wings the ghoul will fight against you. And this fight is hard and takes long. So I think its maybe faster when I skip this fight and just go back a bit for the Wings. Important here is too, that I enter no fight or town. Or the ghoul will be infront of the bridge again. So in a normaly Game not possible, because there are always random fights everywhere.

WIP

Illusion of Gaia (U) [!] Secret Stage only not the Boss yet
* Aims for the fastest time
* 100% kill (only Boss missing)
* Take no Damage
For some time a Tool Assisted Speedrun was done from this game. But by this Speedrun is this Secret Stage missing, because its only an Extra Stage, which is not needed for the speedrun and takes only time. So I have decide to do a Speedrun from this Secret Stage only. Near perfected now. Most run and defeat all enemies as fast as near possible.
Time: 1:55 without Boss
