Should of made this a while ago, but if you have any questions about the game whether it be about routing or game mechanics, this is the place I will mostly keep my eye on (along with my twitch inbox, but I don't look at that as much)

Hi I was thinking of getting into speed running this but need to learn the basic glitches and stuffs :P Like to get to the 3rd thief guild.. I can not get pass the one guy at all...

And then there is the final boss glitch. I think it's pixel perfect where u have to stand and u shoot behind u or something like that?

Any help at all would be great! Thank you :)

Hello Enigma, I'm terribly sorry for the extremely late reply, only 2 people in the world currently run this game, and we haven't really bothered with runs for quite some time now. So I haven't really checked this page as often as I should, so my apologies...

As for your questions....I mention both getting past the guard, and killing the final boss here http://www.speedrun.com/Wizards_and_Warriors_III_Kuros_Visons_of_Power/guide/mb9do

they can be found near the bottom in the Q&A section. I go into a little detail about how to damage boost past the guard (but keep in mind, it is the hardest trick in the game, so don't expect to get it consistent overnight)

and as for the final boss, yes it is required that you have to stand on a pixel perfect location, but once you know where that is it's easy to do. you can watch either mine, or Chargepunch's run to see where we stand.

when you are on the pixel, you will need to switch to the 1st wizard (if you aren't already) Hold B to 'ready your staff' and then press 'left' this will shoot a fireball directly upwards, but behind your head. once you shoot the fireball you then immediately change to the 3rd wizard, and then hold be to levitate.

the glitch is 100% consistent and you don't have to do any of the actions within any sort of frame perfect timing, you can take a little time, just be warned that if you don't get it fast enough though Malkil will start flying and start shooting at you, making it harder to pull off

If you have any other questions pls feel free to ask me. I've added this game to my followed games again so that I know to check more often

Just realized that Twitch decided to delete my video, so you'll need to watch Chargepunch's run to see where you need to stand at the final boss

Thanks for the reply :D I haven't played the game in awhile so I will have to de rust a bit now xD

I did learn how to do the final boss glitch :) but the other one with the guard is a pain, but I will figure it out sometime :P

Hello,

I've been practicing running this game, but I'm really struggling on the Gold Wizard guild's teeny-tiny platforms and often game over at that point. I use the GameGenie infinite lives code so that I can get through that section, but my question is: If I submit a run (Any% category) while using the infinite lives code, is that against the rules and would my run be rejected? Apologies if this is already answered somewhere, but I couldn't find any mention of the banning or allowing of cheat devices like the GameGenie for the use of infinite lives specifically.

Thank you.

Sorry for the extremely late reply (didn't get a notification for some reason) But unfortunately GameGenie Is not allowed when you're making actual attempts for submitting a time, but feel free to use it for practicing.

If you play on Emulator you can also use Save-states to practice specific areas as well (like gold wizard as you've said). This gives the benefit of allowing you to save your place right before a hard jump to practice, and then reload without having to start the area over from the beginning.

But as for Submitting a run to the LB's GameGenie, or Save-states are not allowed.

I'll update the rules since they don't mention the use of GameGenie.
