Note: I found out after making the TAS that lockup is spawned near the start of Mumbo’s Mountain. This would be a quicker Jiggy to grab than Chimpy and could save about 10 seconds.[WR] Banjo-Kazooie Any% no DDA Speedrun in 1:07:49The8bitbeast2023-12-11 | This category avoids using the Demo Desync Adventure (DDA) and Pause Overlap Glitch (POG). It's a restricted any% category for Xbox.
Interestingly, the optimal route is to use a glitch called BBDA to warp out of the bottles bonus puzzle and into Click Clock Wood Early.Banjo-Kazooie 100% Speedrun in 2:08:43 (BBDA Route)The8bitbeast2023-12-04 | This is a run of 100% on the Xbox using a new route incorporating the BBDA glitch. This glitch warps you into Click Clock Wood from Spiral Mountain by using the bottles bonus puzzles.Pokemon Snap Challenge Run - StingySeagull vs The8bitbeast (Round 2)The8bitbeast2023-12-02 | In this video me and StingySeagull compete for the best out of 3 from: - Best overall score - Fastest overall time - Best scoring photo
After each round we pick each other's photos, meaning we will be trying to pick the worst photos to mess up the other player. This leads to some funky strategies, and leads to us trying to take only one good photo to avoid the bad ones being picked.
This was our second run through of this, so some of the strats are pretty bad, but we're hoping to do more soon with some better practice beforehand.[old PB] Banjo-Kazooie Any% no DDA Speedrun in 1:08:57The8bitbeast2023-11-25 | This category avoids using the Demo Desync Adventure (DDA) and Pause Overlap Glitch (POG).

Normally the game can be beaten in about 20 seconds using the Mirror Glitch, but this TAS avoids using that to show the normal glitchless route through the game.

This run beats the game as fast as possible. The run starts on the demo, since watching the demo causes Banjo to void out and spawn in Hyrule Field. It then uses an out of bounds and then a secret warp to go straight to Grunty.

I break down the strats and setup I use in the World Record speedrun.WR - Sonic Blast 100% Speedrun in 22:19 - Game GearThe8bitbeast2023-03-02 | Got the WR. Main issue was messing up in 4-1 and dying on the last boss. I think I underflowed the health on the last boss, so there's no way I could have actually beaten him on that first try.
Played on Kega Fusion.WR - Sonic Blast Speedrun in 13:22 - Game GearThe8bitbeast2023-02-28 | Improved the WR by another 7 seconds. I was pretty happy with this run. A lot of time was lost to bad signpost luck, but I would prefer to lose it due to that rather than due to bad gameplay.
