Ever since I heard about a Wizard of Oz JRPG, I was interested in the game's existence, and the possibility of speedrunning it. The game has JRPG battles with, not so much depth admittedly, but also an overworld section with free analog touch screen movement Mario 64 DS wise. At first, it felt like a pain to move around in, but I discovered some interesting interactions after activating a dpad movement cheat.

Here's the first glitch I've found because of it - skid cancelling:

When you turn around or try to stop during a run in RIZ-ZOAWD (just gonna call it that cause the english name is.... long), Dorothy goes into a really long skid animation. However, if you swipe to move left or right and then quickly move your stylus along the outer edge of the trackball to the bottom and come to a stop, the skid animation will be cancelled and Dorothy will instantly come to a halt.

It seems like it can be made consistent, and I'm already getting it more often than not. The main thing this game needs, however, is routing. And I am definitely not great when it comes to routing out JRPG games haha. Just thought I'd post what I randomly found and maybe spark some discussion on the game, as I can't find anyone anywhere who has even attempted to run this game.

Its come to our attention that store layout can effect the speed and gameplay of the excercises.

As a temporary solution, we've made it a rule that the main categories must use the default store layout, but what does everyone else think? Should we keep them separate, or something else?

Would also help if someone could document the various store changes.

I just accidently somehow jumped through the gate, I have a video and such on it here:

I haven't tried to recreate it yet, or even know what happened for sure. Would like help in trying to recreate it. All I remember is that I went into picture mode and jumped and all of a sudden Ash was grabbing a ledge on the other side of the gate.

I'm thinking of running this game, is there a discord for this or any resources for learning how to run this game?
