Note: There are normally particles for Simian Slam/Shockwave/Skid, however they were not turned on for the purpose of this video
Some notes:
DK Roll - Grinds to a halt at the end of the animation
DK Kick - Feels a lot slower, kick doesn't go as far
DK Aerial - Arms are angled further down
DK Neutral Roll Jump - Jumping at the right time with a neutral stick in the middle of a roll will preserve roll speed and will allow you to cover large distances within a small amount of time (Credit: markusman64ds)
DK Gun - Gun is higher up
DK Slap - Slap feels faster, but you only do 1 slap per B press
DK Shockwave - More Shaky
DK SSS - Hand slam
DK SDSS - Head slam
DK Neutral Backflip - Moves backwards even with neutral stick
Di Chimpy Charge - Sound Effect
Di Stationary Tail Attack - Same as DK Slap, different animation
Di Aerial - Animation is different and shorter
Di Shockwave - More Shaky
Di SDSS - Extra Jump at the end
Di Neutral Backflip - Moves backwards even with neutral stick
Di Skid/Skid Jump - Different Animation
Di Rocketbarrel - No Guns
La Spin - Sound Effect
La Long Jump - Lmao
La Neutral Backflip - Moves backwards even with neutral stick
La Ledge Grab - Sound is early and a bit of extra wiggle at end
La Aerial - Feels a lot faster
La Shockwave - More Shaky
La SSS - Different Animation
La SDSS - Holy hell this animation is long
Ti Kickslide - Grinds to a halt at end of Kickslide
Ti SDSS - If 1 slam wasn't good enough, have 4!
Ch Punching - Different Animation
Ch PPunch - Chunky goes wibbly. Can cause a glitch where the ppunch movement occurs whilst Chunky is pulling back his hand.
Ra Charging - Faster & Longer than in the final. Can easily clip through walls (Not shown in video, but I got it like 5 times whilst messing around)
All Tags - Whilst this was a nice idea, I'm glad it was removed in the final versions

A WIP (Work In Progress) of the 100% TAS of Earthworm Jim 3D. This TAS is made on BizHawk. The most notable thing is the fact that PC & N64 behave very differently to eachother (One has a higher jump [PC] but the other has the ability to jump off specific points on walls where collision is less optimal [N64]. N64s mechanics have way more sequence breaking potential and standard emulation behaves very much like PC, so we use a hack to mimic N64s behaviour. Because this is a hack and not the default game, this will NOT be submitted to TASvideos when complete.
This WIP covers file start, Coop DEtat and Psycrow.
This TAS was made with the assistance of a RAM Watch script called ScriptHawk, which can be found here: https://github.com/Isotarge/ScriptHawk
This WIP is around 2:40 ahead of current 100% WR after Coop DEtat and 3:40 ahead after Psycrow

I got a Sub 4 a few months ago, then the timing rules got changed meaning it turned into a 4:28. Decided to do a few runs, and got this within an hour. Not completely done with any%, but its at least a decent run.
This was performed on the PC release of the game. The PC has a reduced amount of lag and a higher jump compared to N64. The higher jump means that the Kim Early sequence break becomes possible (It is not possible on N64 to our knowledge). PC Release also has musical issues meaning that the majority of the BGM does not start.
