Hey y'all! Found this game scrolling through the depths of games with no active runners and realized that it's borderline criminal that it has no runs logged at all. So I tagged a friend who's on board to run it too and I made an account specifically for the clarion call of Spirits & Spells.

After checking the other threads, it looks like nobody's really sunk their teeth into the routing enough to get a run they're proud enough to record. Are any of y'all still out there? Would you come back to the game if there was a little bit of life in the community?

Also, any resources or suggestions from back in the day? Also, what version were you running on? Despite not having finished a casual run yet, I'm working on a draft of a guide. I just noticed the switchjump glitch, so that's going in.

Hey Welcome! I guess I still had email notifications on these forums so I saw your post. I messed around with glitch hunting and routing this game a couple years ago. It's a cool game with some fun glitches and out of bounds.

I did a couple runs with my initial routing if you want to see the route and some of the glitches I used. There was no one else running it then so I didn't spend enough time to get a run I was really proud of. This VOD here was my fastest run but has deaths and lots of room for improvement.

I would be interested in coming back to run this game again and optimize the route if there were some other people running it. I have the gamecube version. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Kind of a chicken and egg problem: if nobody's running it, there's no competition, so nobody starts running it.

I think running the physical copy is going to be difficult. I still need a Gamecube, the game, a new RCA to HDMI converter (current one is busted and has a bunch of "snow"), and a new capture card, which is a grand total of like $250. There also aren't many copies of this game out there, but I found 2 on Amazon, 1 on Mercari, and 5 on EBay (one of which was going for $200! Factory mint!). Do you think running on Dolphin would be a problem?

Also what was your setup in that run? By the screen tearing and the sound it looks like you've got a camera pointed at a screen.

Dang $200! That's a lot for this game lol

I think I got mine used on Amazon for $20-$30. I use a Wii since my GameCube doesn't read disks anymore. I think the capture device I used was a GV-USB2.

I would say if you want to use an emulator go for it. Since no one is running it any runs are better than no runs!
