Berformeth, I have watched your run and now I abuse this little forum section to give some feedback:

1. What emulator are you playing on? In general, VBA seems frowned upon and BGB or Gambatte are prefered. But I think it doesn't matter much...

2. I would be willing to moderate this leaderboard

3. In the very first room, after riding through the room at super speed, you can just let go of "Right" for a split second to avoid the super stages. No need to turn around

4. The SGB version has fewer enemies, see here: https://tcrf.net/Daffy_Duck:_The_Marvin_Missions_%28Game_Boy%29

5. Also, the SGB version has a health glitch which would be useful for console runs. Walk left and jump right, right after. The health display will glitch graphically. This gives you like 60 health units or so. I think it resets to 5 at next level start.

6. Is the glitched category (see glitch TAS) possible on console? If yes, you will want to seperate Any% and Any% low-glitch.

7. Btw, at the robot boss, you can land on his body and arm independently to deal damage. It doesn't always work, but when it does it can shorten the fight

8. I think at boss 4, you should ignore the ceiling laser and just go for the bottom things, especially when you use the health bug.

9. In one part of the run in level 4, you hit a cannon that was sandwiched in the wall... I wonder if this could be done e.g. at the 4th boss bottom devices.

Wow, thank you very much for this feedback! Let me answer your questions first:

1. I remember having read that the emulator BGB is allowed for races on SRL, so currently I'm using BGB version 1.5.1. Hopefully soon I will be able to purchase a capture device. I plan to play on GameBoy Player and stream from console, but at the moment I have to use the emulator.

Right after writing this response I will gladly add you as moderator ^^

Didn't know, thank you, I will do this next time!

Don't know if this really speeds up the first stage that much, I should try that and bring up a reliable comparison.

Yes I stumbled upon this glitch on tcrf, but somehow I managed to get this on the gameboy version as well (japanese version). I highlighted that, it's in my VOD section on twitch (http://www.twitch.tv/berfometh_/c/6964733). I have no idea if it is invoked the same way as in the SGB version or if you have to do something else... I got this glitch to work once in the dog fight in the first stage and also in the dog fight in stage 3. And yes, it would be cool to have that in the machine fight ^^

I tried to glitch out after the 3rd room in stage 1 like you did in the TAS. But well, it didn't work as expected. So I don't know if it's possible, but I already thought about dividing any% into "beat the game" and "magic%" (inspired by SoM leaderboard ^^). Any% low-glitch sounds better though, thanks for that ;-)

I will try to find a consistent setup for this then! Didn't know that ^^

As I said, would be really amazing just to finish the machine off without the need to heal or to be that careful!

Another thing I need to try out, thank you very much for the idea!

So all in all I'm glad not to be alone with this anymore. It's my very first speedrun and I really appreciate your help in this. I hope I was not upsetting you in any way because I didn't involve you first by mailing you or by just proclaiming the WR for this game. The idea was to get other people into running this game in order to get the WR off from me ^^

Thanks again and now I'll add you as mod as I promised ;-)

PS: My run was accepted for Zocktoberfest! Would be my first active participation in a speedrunning event, any further advise or tips? I'm freakin' out right now...

I have added any%, and changed the rules a bit.

-> Timing should end when the credits start. Is this ok with you ? -> Health bug: Should it be allowed in full runs and we call the category lowglitch / no warp bug, or should we ban it and call it glitchless ?

Thanks for adding all this stuff here!

Timing should end when the credits start. Is this ok with you ?

Yes! Otherwise there would be no real chance for time in Any% because we will not jump on Marv's head ;-)

Health bug: Should it be allowed in full runs and we call the category lowglitch / no warp bug, or should we ban it and call it glitchless ?

I guess we allow health glitch in full runs because it seems pretty hard to get. Except the SGB version. I think we should take different categories for SGB versions because of the overall differences. I will disallow SGB for the current categories.

Why do you ban the sgb version? we can't just ban a sgb version, a perfectly fine version of the game, for practically no good reason. We should leave it up to the runners to obtain the version they want.

you can jump on the right bottom thing in boss 4 (but not the left one).

takes 6 shots or 2 jumps to kill one of those.

If you position yourself well, you can hit with 2 shots per emergence (your position was bad in your 12:47 so you hit only once, but you could have jumped and ended it even earlier).
