This NOT a speed-run, the goal is to reach the highest possible score in 1 round.

Notes:
-Improved by lifting 340kg in Weight Lifting
-I am missing 200 points because I could not obtain 9.90 on my first try at long horse, even if I copy the data from the next try.
-And I am missing the 3000 pts bonus for swimming, when you finish at the same time of another player.
-If you know something else that I can do to top that score, let me know.

-In order to have the plane bonus in the Triple Jump and the mole bonus in the Pole Vault, I had to edit the high scores so that I can't beat them. It seem that the game does not give those bonuses if you beat a World record.

Button 1 and 3 = Run
Button 2 = Action

-I tried many pattern to find the fastest pattern to run/swim.
-Alternating between the two buttons each frames (1 3 1 3 1 3...) is too fast and do not work.
-At first I thought that the fastest pattern was to hold the buttons for two frames:
1 1 3 3 1 1 3 3 1 1... meaning 30 button press per second
but I found a faster pattern that work:
1 1 3 1 1 3 3 1 3 3... so 36 button press per seconds
With this pattern I achieve 40:36 at swimming instead of 42:42 with the other pattern.
To achieve the 39:75 in the video I altered the pattern just a little over the course of a second to reach 38 button press per seconds which seem to be the maximum.


--Swimming--
-I use the no breath trick:
-Start by pressing 1 and 3 simultaneously. (exactly on the same frame)
-While pressing 1 and 3, tap button 2 3 times
-You have to hold 1 and 3 until your character surface, that is at least 78 frames.
-If you release 1 or 3 at any time before that, the trick will not work
-You cannot tap button 2 on the first frame, but you can tap anywhere in the 77 frames window.

--Skeet Shooting--
-When you have not missed any target, a bird?? appear, you have to shoot it on the opposite side that it appears, you get a bonus for that.
-Then a second bird (from Tutankham) appears, you can shoot it many times. but you must stop shooting when it is not under a target, if you shoot too much, the game will not allow you to shoot for a while. Your target will turn black.
You get 1000 points each time you shoot it.
The maximum I achieve in this TAS is 13 times.

--Long Horse--
-I was not able to score more than 9.90 possibly because of the maximum speed for the first round
-It is possible to have a 3000 points bonus but it is not as much points as doing a good try.
-To have this bonus, when you are supposed to spin, just do a half spin to land on the head, you will get a 5.40 note.

--Archery--
-The easiest sport for the TAS because it's exactly the same pattern again and again.

--Triple Jump--
-To have the 3000 points bonus plane, you have to get the angles 35, 41 and 45 in that order (which are the best values) and also hit the board and not have a world record.
-I found that the running speed has not as big an impact on the length of the jump than I expected. My final speed is 1516 but I jumped nearly as far with a speed under 1400.
-I fiddled with the first steps of the run to start a bit slow so that the character foot land on the last pixel of the white line.
-Tapping while selecting the angle help a little but just a few pixels
-While in the air on last jump, I did not find a pattern of button press that help. On the contrary every time I pressed a button it slow the jump down.
-So, for the final result I tap during all the jumps but no tap at all after selecting 45 degree for the last jump.

--Weight Lifting--
-You get a 1000 points bonus to press the buttons 1 and 3 at the same time the weight touch the floor. You have a 9 frames window to get this bonus

--Pole Vault--
-It's a shame that the character is not aware of where is the bar, if he would not put his foot at the wrong place, I would have gone higher than 6m00.
-Consecutive Mole bonus has by far the most impact on the score:
1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 8000, 8000...
But the game won't give you the bonus if you beat a world record.
So, to have this bonus I had to set the world records at values that I could not beat.
-You have a one frame window to place the pole at the right position to not lose speed.
-Then, you have a window of 6 frames to release the pole.
-By tapping 1 and 3 after releasing the pole you can get very high.
-Any button press before releasing the pole have no effect.
