Hey I saw a video about clipping in this game, which mentioned clipping through the gate in Cookie Race.

I got the clip on my second try (throw block at the gate from 1 step away, while walking towards the gate). This cuts the level in half, more or less.

I don't understand the any% run in this game. There isn't any ending or credits... This doesn't seem like it completes the game at all.

I would think that any% would need to unlock the ranch and get the foal, which as far as I can tell, is the ending of the game...

I'm vaguely curious...

Since the game has to load various voice clips, are there benefits to playing the game with a specific language/version?

What about the character choice? Are they just cosmetic?

The SNES version seems to have better sound, but I think it's actually slower to run. Anyone know?

I made this. I think the only trick you might not be able to do is the dashing-jump kick, which I think is frame perfect. But it's likely still worth dash kicking and jump kicking.

Doing a dive-kick is actually slower than falling in most cases.

See video description for more notes.

Huh? The current WR actually picks the wrong culprit, so they didn't actually finish. Shouldn't that run be disqualified?

I made a demo of a TAS for the PS1 version. Unfortunately, most of the game is "hold right" so a TAS doesn't have a lot of opportunity to show off crazy stunts... anyway so I canceled the project and just uploaded this demo instead.

For the curious, I tested the vine glitch. You want to perform that glitch as low as possible to get the maximum speed boost as shown in the video.

The summary is: You can get infinite money before the 23 minute mark. Any run other than any% should use follow this opening. You will instantly save time on all currently published runs that need money.

Basically, all current best runs are doing it wrong. Anyone who wants to use these techniques, you are guaranteed first place ;)
