SkicoNow | [World Record] LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (DS) in 14:02 @SkicoNow | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
UPDATE: Due to a change in how runs in this category are timed, this run has been retimed to 14:02, where timing begins when I select New File from the title screen.
Finally PBed in this game after a few months of not running it! This run saves 27 seconds over my previous run (youtube.com/watch?v=bIxYoQfaDps). Feels good to sneak this in just before 2017 ended. Sub 13 probably won't be happening for a while but it may be possible. -- Watch live at twitch.tv/skiconow

Im really sorry this took so long to finish. I recently realized how short this level is, and it should not have taken 2-3 months to get done. Hopefully, the next level takes a lot shorter to finish, because its pretty short and has some fun glitches.

A new Any% Simpsons Game DS TAS is currently in the works! Mainly because I was not happy with how unoptimized the last one was turning out to be, so I gave up on it and started a new one. :D

I can probably do better, but it still looks pretty good. Still an awesome strat, though.
Thanks to Sharkey91 for showing me how to do that triple jump dive thing near the beginning! You can find Sharkeys channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ij2bLJfWYkYOWTMF6sKVQ")

After a little over six months since I finished the final level, I finally uploaded this. I created this movie file on July 1, 2019 and finished it on December 12, 2022, but my first attempts at TASing this game go back to December 2016 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du4dR2_dWSA). I definitely could have finished this run much sooner, but the main reasons for taking this long to finish are that I was still in high school when I began this project, and I experienced many lapses in motivation for TASing in general and frequently shifted my focus from this game to other games. However, Im quite happy with the end result and I ended up learning quite a bit about this game along the way.
I am currently in the process of writing the submission text for this run for TASVideos, which will offer detailed explanations for all the tricks and glitches used throughout the run, as well as minor optimizations that may not be apparent to viewers. Once it is finished, I will include a link to it both in the description and the comments. Thank you so much for being so patient with my slow output rate for this TAS, and I hope you enjoy the run!
