[TAS] Donkey Kong Country - Minimal Y Presses (World 5)
5-1: Grabbing the rope to go into Speed Mode! The fire from the barrels only hurt you if you stand on the middle part of it, you can jump through as well as stand on the side without dying. When you go through the barrel Diddy will also get a speed boost.
The Double-Mankey part was really tricky, I had to do a combination of moonwalking and various slowdowns for them. Dumb.
5-2: Too bad I can't reach the warp barrel at the start of the level... Not much to say here other than that.
5-3: By holding down, it's possible to jump through the crawling spaces without crawling. I also found out that you can hold down+left/right to keep your movement speed until your next jump. This was very helpful in a few places.
5-4: I just copied my inputs from the 101% TAS. I did however save two frames because of less lag! Yay!
5-5: It was slower to avoid the DK barrel at the start because of the dumb gnawties...
Then we come to the Mine Carts, they are quite interesting. Their initial speed is 768 and will increase in slopes and decrease going uphill. If the speed is 768 or lower, the speed will go up by one for a single (usually) frame and then go back to the value it was, this is why I'm jumping a bit. However, if the speed is greater than 768, it will reset back to 768 (or 769) when I land. For example at 6:07, the speed of the cart goes up to over 1100 so to keep the speed for as long as possible I jump on the Necky as far as I can. Despite the time lost of killing an enemy, this saves a lot.
5-6: Nothing worth mentioning.
This is a Tool Assisted recording. Meaning it was recorded using an emulator with slow motion, save states and rerecording.
