Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Buggy Boy/Speed Buggy Arcade - Offroad
Score: 151,340
I wanted to do a video with the 3 screen version of this game. Since the timing of the enemies was not the same as the Jr version, I had to redo the TAS. This TAS improve the score from the previous video by quite a bit.
The goal of this TAS:
-Show the location of the 11 hidden soccer balls.
-Get the highest score possible.
Note:
-Jumping and driving on two wheels increase the score faster. It is about the same as driving through a 250 gate every 2 seconds
-When driving on two wheels, the flags and gates give double points
-Soccer balls, hidden or not, give 2000 points
-It seem that two soccer ball animation cannot play at the same time. On the last lap, the last hidden ball is near a real ball at the end of the lap. I got the two balls. You can see the score increase by 2000 when I collide with the rock on the left of the road.

GOAL:
-Determine what the maximum score is for each goals.
-After obtaining statistics for all legs, determine the best path for each goals.
-I used the normal rule (from Twin Galaxies) for this game:
-The boost start is allowed, but any use of the off-road trick is strictly prohibited.
-So, when the car go outside the road, it should slow down (0:00).
-To do a boost start:
-Select Hi gear and do not press the accelerator all the way down before the start.
-press the accelerator only at the last second.
-At the same time, select Low gear for about 15 frames, then select Hi gear.
-For this video I wanted to put the song Splash Wave but it seems YT found something copyrighted somewhere.☹️

Since in my other video I had 2 players in 2nd place (see: https://youtu.be/B5A8TMJa0IY)
I wanted to see what the game would do with 2 players in 1st place.
So I edited the TAS so that Sharon loses the last event.
I dont know why the game chooses one player over another, watch the 2nd part of the video, Sharon is 1st with Masaemon and she is not the winner.

Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Golgo 13 Arcade $37,720,940 (With cutscenes)
-Game Difficulty: Normal
-This is my first try at this game. Now that I know the game better, I could make a better TAS (and I am doing it right now).
-You can shoot at a maximum of 10 shots per second (every 6 frames). Not that you often have the opportunity to do that since in 15 out of 20 stages you only have one bullet to shoot.
-But you can only shoot on a multiple of 3 frames. So in a TAS, if I want to shoot later, I cant shoot on the next frame but only 3 frames later.
-For each stage you earn money. The amount of money depends on 2 variables:
-Time
-Accuracy
Time
-At each stage you have to shoot as fast as possible
-You lose $10,000 for every second you let pass
-For example, on stage 12, you have two ropes to shoot, here are some values that I obtained by shooting at different times:
-0.96s = $1,945,700
-1.01s = $1,945,200
-1.06s = $1,944,700
-2:01s = $1,935,200
-As it is not possible to shoot before 0.86 sec, the game steals almost 10,000 points from us :(
Accuracy
-For stages where you can shoot more than one bullet, your rating (out of 1000) will drop depending on the number of bullets that did not hit the target.
-For stages where you only have one bullet to shoot, you get a score (out of 1000) on shot accuracy measuring how close you were to the perfect shot.
-The awarded score is not linear and is higher the closer you get to 1000.
-Stages with multiple bullets, for example on stage 12 you have to shoot 2 ropes, if you shoot them with 2 shots you get 1000 points.
-Here are the points I got for two or more shots (each shot adds 0.1 seconds to the time since we cant shoot faster than 10 shots per second)
2 shots = 1000 in 0.96s +30% = $1,945,700
3 shots = 889 in 1.06s +20% = $1,381,560
4 shots = 750 in 1.16s +20% = $918,300
5 shots = 640 in 1.26s +20% = $694,350
6 shots = 556 in 1.36s +20% = $585,010
7 shots = 490 in 1.46s +20% = $527,170
8 shots = 438 in 1.56s +20% = $494,880
10 shots = 360 in 1.76s +20% = $462,890
11 shots = 331 in 1.86s +10% = $454,680
20 shots = 190 in 2.76s +10% = $429,650
50 shots = 79 in 5.76s +10% = $397,750
-For stages with only one bullet to shoot: Here are the scores I got for different points in the 1st stage so we can evaluate $ value vs accuracy.
-Each shot was made with the same time, so the only variable was accuracy.
-When shooting a human, there are 2 main regions: the heart and the head. You get a lot more points for headshots.
-As far as I know if you hit the heart region you get +10% and if you hit the head you get +30% regardless of accuracy. Everywhere else you get a negative %.
423 (hand) -60% $2,760
427 (heart) +10% $278,290
442 (heart) +10% $285,660 +7370 / 15 = 491 $ per points
447 (heart) +10% $288,330 +2670 / 5 = 534 $ per points
449 (heart) +10% $289,410 +1080 / 2 = 540 $ per points
458 (heart) +10% $294,410 +5000 / 9 = 555 $ per points
939 (head) +30% $1,394,540 +1100130 / 481 = 2287 $ per points (possibly not accurate because of the 20% more)
940 (head) +30% $1,399,570 +5030 / 1 = 5030 $ per points
965 (head) +30% $1,529,140 +129570 / 25 = 5182 $ per points
968 (head) +30% $1,545,400 +16260 / 3 = 5420 $ per points
975 (head) +30% $1,583,910 +38510 / 7 = 5501 $ per points
980 (head) +30% $1,612,000 +28090 / 5 = 5618 $ per points
986 (head) +30% $1,645,910 +33910 / 6 = 5651 $ per points
994 (head) +30% $1,692,660 +46750 / 8 = 5843 $ per points
996 (head) +30% $1,704,540 +11880 / 2 = 5940 $ per points
-We can see that the accuracy scoring is not linear. The closer you get to 1000, the more it pays.
-As we get more than $5000 for each accuracy point, it seems to me that it is more important to be precise than fast.

Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Quester Arcade 26,349,440 points
My score should have been 1,549,440 if it hadnt been for a bug.
NOTES:
-The game was produced by Toru Iwatani, known as the creator of Pac-Man. It was created as a response to Taitos 1986 arcade title Arkanoid, which helped revive the block breaker genre and inspire waves of its own clone games. (wikipedia)
-The choice of the angle the ball bounces off the paddle is less than I would have liked, which is why some levels took so long to complete
-The game gave me 255 lives after killing the final boss.
I ran MAME in debug mode to monitor the memory location of lives. The 255 lives appear in memory when the 2nd block of the boss is broken.
I was thinking that on stage 32 there was maybe too much balls at the same time on the screen (11), so I redid the end of the TAS by keeping only 3 balls on the stage 32 and I still received 255 lives.
Even if I lose a life between the 1st and 2nd block of the boss, I still receive 255 lives when the 2nd block breaks.
So, I dont have a good explanation on what is causing this bug.
At the end you get 100,000 points for each life, I should have gotten 700,000 bonus points instead of 25,500,000, so my real score is 1,549,440 points.

-It is possible to finish first at the end of the 4th section at 500cc.
-The TAS is 2nd because I lost some time braking to get more points.
-With 500cc and 750cc, in the dirt sections, I got almost every possible point.
-The score of this TAS is much higher than what I have seen in other videos.
-It seems to me that it is impossible to finish 1st at 1200cc.
-At 750cc Im sure its possible to finish better than 6th. But Im not sure that finishing 1st is possible.
-This is another game that refreshes at 56 or 57 fps, which is why the background scrolling isnt smooth as I would have liked.

This video demonstrate the training course glitch in Paperboy Arcade (Rev 1 and Rev 2).
In the training course at the end of a day, there is a 1 pixel gap between the hit-box of the finish line and the hit-box of the fence on the right of the finish line. If you ride between those two hit-box, the game will let you past the end.
Then you ride in what seem like the training course but you ride in garbage and the more you go the more you corrupt the memory.
The third time you see the finish line, the hit-box will work, you can end there or redo the trick but you corrupt more and more the memory and eventually the game will reset.
If youre lucky, you may end up with a huge score, but since memory is corrupted, its not guaranteed to work every time.
This glitch is not working with the last version (Rev 3) of the game. Work only with Rev 1 and 2 (in Mame: paperboyr1 and paperboyr2)")

Tool-assisted speed-run (TAS) for Venture arcade, 9 levels.
From the insert coin to the display of all the treasures, it took 7:23 min for a score of 333180.
NOTE:
-Since the monsters try to avoid the arrow, I sometimes fire one so that they get out of my way.
-Changing of direction of the character in a chamber take 5 frames, so I try to change direction as less as possible.
-On level 8 I miss the x9 by 1 or 2 seconds, I will have to work on that.
