Anyone interested in running?

I am new to the speedrunnning community, and I have always been interested in speedrunning a game, and captain toad jumped out at me as not being over complex, and being a new game, not to many glitches to figure out. I have been practicing for any%, but have also been looking into 100%. And I have been studying episode 1 (thoroughly) and have thus far have found that you can beat a level with all 3 gems, under the required time limit, and with the bonus objective on 4 of it's levels. Walleye Tumble Temple, Mine Cart Tunnel Throwdown, Drop Road Dash, and Wingo's Watchtower. I have come pretty close to achieving all of these in Blizzard on the Star Express, but not quite. Walleye Tumble Temple is pretty easy considering the time limit is put there thinking that you won't use the touch pad. Mine Cart Tunnel Throwdown is also fairly easy considering it is an "auto-scroller". Drop Road Dash is pretty easy considering that the gems are not that far out of the way, and with corner-cuts and what not, making sure you don't kill that one biddy-bud on the far left before the first gem can be a little difficult (personally), but I have found that it is possible to bypass him on the left without taking damage even when he is at touching the bottom of the droppy thingy. Wingo's Watchtower is one of the more challenging ones, because you need to one cycle him at the end in order to do it. You need to make sure that you grab every turnip and throw it onto solid ground in order to get enough coins for the 70 coin objective, and towards the top of the tower you need to throw one of the turnips at Wingo so he doesn't blow the ladder away from the position it is in to get the third gem. I managed to get everything in 125 seconds (time objective is 127). If done right you should have exactly 70 coins when you fight Wingo, the only coins that you should not get are the ones underneath the third gem in the little alcove that is there to shelter you from getting knocked off by the moving ladder block. That's all for now (please note that this is only for episode 1 thus far).

I made the game then killed myself FeelsBadMan

Lol

also if everyone knew about it why is this section of the forum even a thing and why didn't anyone do runs of this bad week 4 category sorry I might be coming off as rude but i'm really not trying to I just don't know how else to talk about this

if you want to talk about it more go ahead and hop on the discord so it's easier to respond and stuff https://discord.gg/XzEYpBQ

I completely agree that's why there's a separate category for all weeks and it's still the main category

could submit the 13:51 all tablets too but I don't want to fuck up that leaderboard Kappa

and apparently "beating the game from just week 4" has been something looked for for a while when it was right in front of our eyes so I didn't see why exactly it would be bad

please don't hate me I'm just trying to be a good mod :/ but also a runner of the game myself at the same time

hopefully doesn't offend anyone, wasn't meant to be like that I just wanted the leaderboards to not look imbalanced a so we agreed it would be a good idea

mhf and I discussed it made a seperate category for all weeks because of the ability to beat the game in just week 4

Seancass, I'd love to discuss this with you but we aren't in the same discord servers anywhere. I'd love the explanation and difference between eg and a clip because it looks extremely similar to any other eg but if you can explain the difference for me i'll move the run back and i'll make a separate category for nmg.

I want to be a moderator of bs zelda ancient stone tablets http://www.speedrun.com/bszelda3#Any_No_EG because the current moderator does not respond to forum posts, wr in any% no eg does exploration glitch even though that should clearly be in another category (any%). I have wr in any% no eg and have plenty of time on my hands to approve runs.

If someone could get back to me soon that'd be great!

Gonna make a tutorial soon, one for game patches and moving saves between roms and one for the route. No worries, i'll submit them to guides in hopes that more people run this game :D

Wanted to run this for a while and wondering if anyone wrote a route yet for any% no eg or if I will just have to watch wr and write my own

Why's this game so bad :D

guess i'll just practice and do practice runs till my copy ships then SeemsGood

I don't have a disc copy of the game but I have a wii and a usb loader would be slower because i'd have to repeatedly open the loader every reset and of course use the slow wii calendar change thing. If I submit the run as a wii emulated run would that be not okay. Either way i'm planning on buying a disc soon but I was just wondering. this question is probably really dumb.
