Bubble Bobble "Combo Challenge" TAS

The first 20 levels of the NES Bubble Bobble played under the following conditions:

1) Must pop all enemies together in a single combo.
2) Must eat all the fruit produced by the combo.
3) EXTEND is optional, but must be gotten after all fruit has been eaten.

This is merely a proof-of-concept video, it does not claim to accomplish its task as fast as possible.

Levels 21-40 coming sometime in the future, though I don't know if I can go farther than that!

I feel you did 3 + 1 in level 6.

Impressive stuff for the most part though :)

Perhaps I did, but it gave 8000 points and dropped a tomato, so it was a legit combo.

If you think that's bad, it gets a lot worse later in that regard.

This is awesome, and I can't wait to see more.

I was a little surprised you didn't generate any candy, though.

[Strakester]

I did, just not right away. I got the blue candy on level 17 and the green candy on level 18.

It can be tricky to correctly manipulate what will appear as in the candy, as little things such as bouncing on bubble can change what appears.

Good TAS, I've never seen a run of this game aiming for combos.

[Strakester]

When I started this movie, I didn't know exactly what caused the powerups to appear, but halfway through I did some memory watching and figured it out. That's why the candy took a while to appear.

And thanks. I'll see about beating Level 35 sometime...

great stuff!

Oh no, I never said it's bad, I loved all the videos in this series as I said :)

I was just asking, as it seems the fourth enemy blew up a bit later...
