Its very old 3d but yes it is 3d. They are technically pixelated 2 dimensional sprites rendered into 3rd thanks to the n64 engine, similar to doom (but done way better)
I will eventually attempt pushing this time lower since im pretty sure its possible. It look doable.
With the decent amount of strats and optimizations we currently have, what do you think, is the lowest time possible for a cavern% run? I did a 4:46 recently and trust me there is definitely some room for Improvement. I think personally we may be able to go down all the way to 4:30 (since console is slightly differemt) but maybe even 4:25. What do you guys think?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0lGNKLvJzrU Level 16 17 18 and 19 of caverns (world 1) are some of the hardest level to do at a fast pace in caverns and it’s honestly annoying because im pretty sure there no strats to make it any better, nothing consistent atleast as explainned in the video. If you find any strats, tell me.
Short answer: mobile emu=banned, I remember asking if an emulator was allowed since it was the vanilla experience but on mobile and the answer was "its a mobile emulator so no" even if it was literally a official nintendo emulator ported on mobile (which we all know wouldn’t happen) they’d still ban it. I guess they’re scared of getting their wr stolen by a dude on his iphone.
I mean he made a test route and you’re free to do your own path and see what is faster. Just like any categories. If i could speedrun sm64 on mobile i’d have attempted it by now
If there is truly some unique strats then it may be pretty nice to watch. We’il let time tell us.
Actually optimal pathing make the clip faster because you dont have to teleport back and forth to get the powerup. No?
Holy crap corkstir- i never thought i’d see a sub 5:20 so soon. Congratulation man. You’d probably have gotten sub 5 if you didnt mess up the optimized 1-7 strat too. I guess 1-13 was also unfortunate. But Wow that wall clip at 1-20?! That something i didnt even know what possible!
otherwise you could also try downloading a different rom and see if you get similar problems. if not then you know your rom is erroned and thus need changing. happen rarely but its entierely plausible
you'd be surprised at the amount of peeps who don't have a PC in 2022.
Considering that times have changed and that things like aurora exist (its an online emu that work on all device and its pretty accurate imo) maybe we should change with them. You get my vibe? Many speedrunners want to speedrun but dont have/cant speedrun on pc so they have to use their phone but are locked away from the "Main Games" Also i never noticed a single difference between other emulators and web/mobile emulators…
Oh- well. Thats both stunning and sad for me. But i’ found a emulator called aurora that work on mobile require no download either so now i can actually maybe speedrun games again! So i’ll do it anyway. Thanks gor showing me this though i was looking kinda dumb xD
I've done some researchs and from what i could find. or more like what i realised nobody ever done a run of SMB on mobile despite the existence of delta and GBA4IOS (Although they're all gone today sadly) ...but then i found one video. on a very strange channel. that has only ONE video .. the video is about a speedrun of pokemon green any% where the person use a few glitches to wrong warp to the end cutscene. why am i mentioning this? because it was done on A PHONE emulator. more precisely GBA4IOS when it was still available. one if not the only mobile speedrun of a game that isn't available on mobile. so that what made me do my researchs and made me realise that NOBODY has done this outside from that very person or atleast i could not find any documentation So MARK my words i shall speedrun SMB on mobile (Although i'll never get a world record due to both not being that great with mobile emulator controls and also due to not being good with the new tricks. but i'll do it for the sake of doing something in gaming that have never been done before, in case any of you wonders i will use the online website that provide the possibility to play retrogames on pc but also on MOBILE with ZERO download required. im talking about retrogames.onl so i assume its allowed, it should be because there zero problems with it its lagless it emulate the games perfectly as well. so mark my words!
As long as its not a turbo controller or a controller that give any virtual advantage (make inputs faster or easier etc) then it should be fine!
ALSO if you are talking about the 3 koopas not so long after the beginning then yes their movement is predictable.
Correct me if im wrong but slowing down for about one second is enough. So you can release and Hold again imediatly which is about one second without inputs. Again. I can be wrong.
My only question is: how are those movements so clean.
