NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Very Gnawty:
Very Gnawty is different from the SFC version. Every time he is hit, he jumps high. There is RNG involved. The RNG is on how long the invincibility frames last after he lands. Sometimes he doesn't have any invincibility frames after he lands, sometimes he does. Those invincibility frames can last up to 1 second. Those random invincibility frames can be very messy.
Boss ending:
Finishing a boss as Donkey is important. In fact, finishing a world as Donkey is important. In order to get a picture, a world (Kongo Jungle) has to be finished by Donkey. Afterwards, that world has to be revisited to add 1% more to 101%.
Be sure to revisit Kongo Jungle after defeating the boss.

![[TAS] Super Smash Bros. [N64] - 999% Match/Goal ~ Jigglypuff](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HEWaP_-zSw8/mqdefault.jpg "[TAS] Super Smash Bros. [N64] - 999% Match/Goal ~ Jigglypuff
This is a tool-assisted superplay of the 999% match/goal on a cute character (Jigglypuff) in Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64.
999% Match/Goal ~ Cuties:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8H4noaCcU1iResZqO4Jts2DqzcbzuZQv
This is more of a what if type of match/goal on cute characters (Yoshi, Pikachu, Kirby, and Jigglypuff). Ive done the goal back in 2015, with the help of a certain person (watch any video in the link above). But I was curious to see how it would play out in a match like this. Granted, a non-TAS of this type of match wont ever be perfect, but this should definitely explain how I wanted the match/goal, if my previous videos of the match/goal didnt explain it clear enough.
GameShark codes used:
- No Music
- No Tornado in Hyrule Castle
Now, in this type of match, I try to do what I was thinking of back then (from 2011 to 2015). I choose Mario for obvious reasons. Most of the rules are the same. However, there is one change I had to make.
1st set of rules:
- 7 stocks.
- No items.
- Default costume/color only for player 1s character, any costume/color for player 2s character.
- First attack always comes from the cute character.
- Shield breaking is disallowed.
- Player 2s cute character cannot get KOd at all.
- Player 2s cute character is allowed to taunt, periodically too.
- Crowd must cheer for the cute character at a very high percent damage.
2nd set of rules:
- Up smash that character for the KO endurance.
- When that moves connect, that character must be on ground at a specific spot without crouching or DIing up, or else its instant KO.
3rd set of rules:
- Crowd cheers have to go uninterrupted.
- Mario cannot get KOd on second to last stock until the cute character is at 999% damage.
- Mario has to be tortured on the last stock by the cute character.
- Star KO must occur on the last stock.
For the 2nd set of rules, I ended up having to remove the up tilt on that character for the KO endurance. So, unfortunately, that was a mistake I made back in 2015 on doing the match/goal. Everything else is mostly the same. But here is the main reason why I did a TAS on this type of match. I was thinking more on where the percentage of the cute character would end up on stocks (from 1 to 5), as well as the crowd cheering for the cute character at that percentage (on stock 5).
Percentages on stocks 1 to 5 ended up being in the following ranges:
- Stock 1 = 161%-171% damage
- Stock 2 = 328%-338% damage
- Stock 3 = 494%-504% damage
- Stock 4 = 661%-671% damage
- Stock 5 = within 700% damage upon crowd cheering, 827%-837% damage
So, yeah, that answers my curiosity.
The directional influence (DI) was not used, except on stock 7 when necessary. I wanted to make it easier on myself for this TAS.
Also, I try to get the cute character to use every move on Mario, connecting at least once, especially on stock 6, no matter how useful or useless the move is, with a bit of messing around on stock 6.
And about the RNG on reeling (spinning animation at 100% damage and above), most of it was manipulated, especially on stock 7. The biggest example is Marios down special, where the 14th hit does a meteor smash on the grounded character. I didnt want any reeling from Mario or the cute character, but in some cases (notably Mario), I didnt have a choice.

- The energy and breath meters still display the same from Tomb Raider III, but upon entering the next level (or reloading at that amount of energy), the energy meter does not display when it is already full, and the depleting breath meter carries over.
FUN FACT 1: This is the only Tomb Raider game (in the 1st era) where Lara does not get disarmed.
FUN FACT 2: This game was originally meant to end the series.")

NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Rolling/cartwheeling physics:
Depending on where the rolling/cartwheeling technique is used, it can be random whether the game lets that technique extend or not. The rolling/cartwheeling physics is different from the SFC version. But its still faster than running.
DK Barrel:
A choice between breaking the DK Barrel or skipping it. It doesnt really matter because Diddy will eventually be available anyway. Also, Diddy is faster than Donkey. But in the GBA version, Donkey is actually required to get 101%. So Donkey will be used for this world only.
Expresso Token:
Getting the Expresso Token and purposely losing lives to get all 3 in order to get a picture in the Expresso Bonus would actually lose time. So its better to just get it and continue on. There are other opportunities to get a picture in the Expresso Bonus.
Bonus Room #1 approaching:
Rambi is significantly slower in the GBA version than he was in the SFC version. So instead of using him, a Barrel is used to enter Bonus Room #1. Note that the Barrel breaks upon hitting that Animal Buddy crate. In the SFC version, the Barrel doesnt break upon hitting that Animal Buddy crate.
Klump picture:
Doing the Hand Slap technique on the last Klump to get a picture is faster than doing it on the 1st one.
Level ending:
Finishing a level as Donkey is important. In fact, finishing a world as Donkey is important. In order to get a picture, a world (Kongo Jungle) has to be finished by Donkey. Afterwards, that world has to be revisited to add 1% more to 101%.
Map screen direction switching:
Switching directions between areas on the map screen is different from the SFC version. In the GBA version, its possible to revisit the previous level almost instantaneously. With this trick, it can save some frames on the map screen. In a 101% speedrun, this trick will be utilized after finishing certain levels in order to get the remaining collectibles and enter Bonus Rooms faster. So expect this to happen quite often.
Picture in DK Hut:
The level is revisited for the picture in DK Hut. If the B button is pressed at the right time while holding Left on the D-Pad just before the level starts, the animation where Donkey/Diddy enters out of the hut can be skipped. The Start+Select trick is done afterwards. Expect this trick to happen quite often.
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.")

Bonus Room #1:
Skipping Winky is faster.
After letter N:
The screen-scrolling trick is done to delay the spawning of the moving tire platform. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make that long jump onto the next platform. This is the only moving tire platform that can be one-cycled. The rest cant be sped up, even with the scrolling trick. And the reason for that is because cartwheeling off of moving tire platforms works differently from the SFC version. In other words, making long jumps with that is impossible. In the SFC version, cartwheeling off of moving tire platforms would be faster.
