![[TAS] Boogie Nights of the Living Dead 100% in 3:10.100 | Earthworm Jim 3D](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SKFLcxS6lSI/mqdefault.jpg "[TAS] Boogie Nights of the Living Dead 100% in 3:10.100 | Earthworm Jim 3D
A 100% TAS of the level Boogie Nights of the Living Dead (Often abbreviated to Boogie Nights) done in 3 minutes and 10 seconds. The definition of 100% for this level is getting all 5 of the golden udders and all 100 marbles within the level.
The route is mostly similar to the RTA route (of which the record can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2XDF6vuHw0&t=1h10m45s ) with some optimisations (such as a blast jump from a nearby Boom Box to reach the pillar udder earlier than intended).
This TAS mostly shows off the sheer optimisation left in movement within this game. Emulator naturally behaves more like the PC varient of this game (little lag, gaining height during the twirl move, no walljump), however when I get round to doing the full 100% TAS of this game (Which will use scripts to hack the emulator to behave more like N64), you will see A LOT more sequence breaks due to one of the mechanics that N64 has that PC/Normal Emu does not.
This TAS was made with the assistance of a RAM Watch script called ScriptHawk, which can be found here: https://github.com/Isotarge/ScriptHawk

DK PHASE
By grabbing K Rool w/ hacks, you can turn DK temporarily invincible.. Somehow. On top of this, if you enter the Barrel from above whilst K Rool is in certain positions, you can instantly damage K Rool.. and keep the barrel.
Its worth noting that the Punch counts will still progress, and after 4 shots, the phase will be over (regardless of how many barrels are remaining in the ring)
LANKY PHASE
By picking K Rool up, the Warp Pad Cutscene plays. K Rool remains in the corner, and playing an instrument will put him in an infinite run loop. Even if you pick him up, he breaks free of your grasp and runs back to the corner to get stuck again. He is in a defeatable state if you place the peels very carefully.
CHUNKY PHASE
If you move during the K Rool punch scene, you can get a much earlier cutscene. For some reason, the charging of the punch is enough to trigger the cutscene from that position (Normally it wouldnt work if youre in the regular position).
Also, the Diddy Phase Rocketbarrel actor is in Chunky Phase, for... some.. reason")

EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnlElzQOXvw
Yeah... this again.. but... fastest N64 time....
Technically the fastest time done on N64, but its to a degree (0.03s) where itd be simpler to go joint fastest.
Im aiming to eventually push this down to 12:09-12:10 range
