Donkey Kong Country Boss Blitz TAS in 4:05.94

For information on this romhack, see here: http://dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1304

I found a TAS of this and decided to improve it a little bit. If you have Diddy in the start you'll be able to finish Very Gnawty and Queen B faster than with Donkey. He is needed against Dumb Drum and is faster against Really Gnawty. After some testings, starting with Donkey was fast overall.

To finish Queen B the fastest she has to be as low as possible (Too low and she'll fall through the floor though, which is slower). To manipulate this I had to delay one of the hits by one frame.

Committing suicide against Really Gnawty skips his last high jumps so you can hit it directly. To die against the drumb is also intentional, as I need Donkey for the last two rounds. If I then break the DK barrel against the final two bosses, I'll lose time. To avoid breaking it you can use a groundslap with Donkey and then jump.

That's all folks!

This is a Tool Assisted recording. Meaning it was recorded using an emulator with slow motion, save states and rerecording.

Nice TAS you got there. I got Dumb Drum faster (on v4 I have 43.15 on v3 43.10 ) , but on the others you were faster. Ok, the last one cannot be optimized more (I tested that already). Would be nice if you can post how many frames and rerecords you have. (ARGX, almost 5 secs faster than mine)

@W4mp3 The reason why your Dumb Drum is faster is that I had to break the DK barrel. But it was a lot faster anyway because of the trick against Really Gnawty.

I didn't go for lowest amount of frames, as I could have ended the movie a lot earlier than I did. So that one is uninteresting.

The rerecord amount was 6294. Counting both the test with Donkey as well as Diddy. Donkey only was 3353.
