Missouri, USAI put together this side by side video to test what Edo mentioned. The video shows there's roughly a 2sec time difference for every screen transition. Stretched across the 60 levels, that'd mean the JP version is roughly 2mins slower due to this.
Cheers!
Great run! So close to getting a 17min run!!! Keep going :)
Great RNG and great 1st submitted run!!!! Big PBs to follow shortly
I teamed up with RayofJay to look into code on Snow Brothers NES, specifically the boss fight.
I originally was looking to see if there were anyways to manipulate the spawn rates for the "goblins" with no luck. RayofJay was able to find some really useful info though that I felt was important, and could possibly affect the final boss fight.
I put together a graphic that displays all of the info I thought was useful for speedrunning :) see below. If you have any problems viewing, post here, and I'll try and host the image elsewhere.
GL on your runs, and remember, only 4 sprites are allowed on screen, so grab those potions if you can as fast as you can to insure you can get the max amount of bubbles created for each cycle!
Congrats on the tied 3rd place! I'm grinding to the top... several runs going into the final boss 30sec ahead of WR, but that RNG lol....just a matter of time
Also, glad to see you running again. Race to 1st place???? :D
I'm not sure how exactly it works, but it's happened several times to me where I die on the final boss and when I respawn still have my power ups???
