Made this to show what I believe to be the absolute lowest time in monster party with exceptional skill and good luck on bert drops. Definitely could be improved in frame saves and more feasible boss kills but it came within 1 second of my sum of best. Thanks for checking it out

Maybe this was already known but using my very very rudimentary tas skills developed tonight i decided i wanted to test ideas on the ?. Did a quick run and beat the first boss waited as to not despawn the ? walked directly below it and started testing jumping on diff frames. Ive thought for a while the ? changed constantly and it does unless i did something very wrong. There are 5 values the ? can be 2k pts, 5k pts, 10k pts, health and bert. the game will cycle thru this order with each value having a set # of frames.

2k pts for 6 frames

5k pts for 4 frames

10k pts for 2 frames

health for 2 frames

bert for 2 frames.

Not sure i have the knowledge to test if its this starts at power or game start or where but just shows what a complete gamble those pills are. would be very hard to manip real time in my opinion.

hope this helps someone or leads to another discovery

Taking damage on the same frame you grab a pill apparently lets you skip transformation

Not sure this can be realistically replicated or if there is any use to it but any one else ever manage this?
