Cap your game's FPS to 60. The game runs smoother if it's not capped but it's prone to crash more.
I'm going to be kind of picky here so forgive me but here are some time saves (some small and some big):
- Taking the top path after starting the run (to the right of the ! Tile) and using it when possible going back and forth. It's just a slightly cleaner path.
- Using more stamina in the run. I see you picked up 2 Scooby Snacks while talking to Mary Jane. But never used them after. Eat both Scooby Snacks once your meter is out (maybe before talking to Velma again) and definitely have it used before you get to the Pipe Minigame.
- Skip the Ghost before going to the basement. Saves about 3.5 seconds.
- Avoid ! Tiles as much as you can. I still do this from time to time but with practice they can all be avoided.
- Get a better Pipe Minigame. Doing more runs you will get better and used to more puzzle layouts. For reference here were my last 2 pb puzzle layouts. Of course less pieces used = more time save.
Current PB (Image below):
Previous PB (Image below):
- Talking to Brad. You can talk to him surprisingly far away. Image below.
- Same with Dead Mike can be spoke to from far away.
- Lights Out! Minigame: Happens to me too but be sure your collecting less Scooby Snacks when possible. It just loses time. Example (image below), you went left then straight up = 4 snacks, had you gone only up from the bottom switch = 1 snack. Otherwise your other 2 puzzles were pretty good.
Great run. I still see plenty of time save. But as they say practice makes perfect.
If you need me to point out some time save for you let me know. :)
this was in fact a cool run :) i'm a little bias tho
I know this was made for PS2 in mind but would other versions be able to be added to the board?
I also have a Any% run waiting in the queue as well.
@Anaenado any chance you can verify the above persons run?
A little late to this but regardless thanks alot for the credit. I'm happy the new Gate Skip is super useful and saves a ton. To think without @HarshESC (Shoutout to him) for telling me to glitch hunt near the gate instead of where i was glitch hunting elsewhere in World 3 at the time this may not have been found as soon or at all.
I'm fine with how the category is laid out right now. It's just down to semantics like there is nothing stopping someone from not running Any% if they don't want to. I'm not against changing it but this community is so small so why bother.
@Jiisus I'm quite late responding to this but currently this board doesn't allow submissions for the GBA version. Your best bet might be to make a separate board for the GBA game.

Here it is. Not sure why I didn't include it with my original post. https://discord.gg/3XKQQN3w6E
Would I be able to have a moderator add the Winnie the Pooh Speedrunning Discord to the speedrun.com page for this game?
@CorvusAtrox Hey I was hoping to make a cookie guide for this game by chance did you get to it?
