Speeddemosarchive.com is holding another gaming marathon, this time for autism research, and Startropics is on the schedule! I'm scheduled to play it around 1:50 PM MOUNTAIN daylight time. Hopefully I can get a similar time to what I got at a previous marathon, somewhere around 1:09. If you missed the last marathon, you also missed me reenacting a certain scene from the game, namely shoving bananas in my ears. This time, we're doing a bidding war for who gets to stuff a banana cream pie in somebody's face like he's Bananette! speeddemosarchive.com/marathon/Oh, and if you desire, watch my speedrun while you're on the site.

Well, it looks like I'll be doing this again for the next summer marathon SDA is putting on, so I'll be practicing the game again. The marathon is during Memorial Day weekend. I will be streaming practice of this game. I just finished my first play through of the game in some time, where I got a time of 1:10.47 with two deaths. I do have other games I stream, so if I'm planning on playing StarTropics, I'll try to post here. My twitch account is www.twitch.tv/darkwing_duck_sda

All right, probably going to stream an attempt within the hour, I've decided. Come by if you'd like!
EDIT: Got a 1:09.50 with 2 deaths. One in chapter 5 and one in 7-1.
Played pretty well. Was 2:20 or so off my SDA time, and 2 minutes of that was because of the two deaths.
I'll be playing this off and on, and you can watch the playback on my video page if you want. I'll still try to announce in here when I'm playing the game. I have other games I'm working on at the moment, so StarTropics isn't my only stream.

Decided to do a run through today. Join in if you'd like! Also of note, at our next marathon, Summer Games Done Quick, another runner will be running StarTropics 2, so it'll be a double dose of Mike. His stream account is here: www.justin.tv/megaultrajman He does a lot of other stuff, too, so it will admittedly be hard to know when he's streaming ST 2. Edit: One of my poorer runs in some time. 1:10.12 or so. Got the ending glitch, which is always fun, but the quality of play was pretty poor. Oh well. I'll be playing it again soon.

I never notice your messages in time! Give a bit of a heads up next time you plan to stream as I'd love to give it a watch! ;D

Going online in about 10 minutes.
EDIT:
Was having a decent run until the game decided to give me a terrible boss pattern in level 7-1. Don't think I've ever died to that boss, but it happens. Lost 1:30 there.
Died stupidly to the mid-boss in 7-2, costing another minute at least.
Final time of 1:10.50, which needs to be better. I've been disappointed in my last two run throughs of this game.

We have a schedule now. I'm actually slated to begin the charity marathon on Thursday, May 24th, at 3:00 PM EDT. Startropics 2 starts immediately afterward. speeddemosarchive.com/marathon/schedule/I have four games that I'm running for this marathon (money raised goes to Organization for Autism Research), so when I stream, it's whichever game I feel needs work at that time. I'm running StarTropics, Spelunker, Legend of Zelda, and Rygar. I have not done a good job advertising my streams here when I run StarTropics. I just don't have a schedule to when I run, so I can't really set a time for when I'm doing the game. If you're registered with Twitch/Justin TV, just follow my channel. www.twitch.tv/darkwing_duck_sdaI'm hoping this doesn't happen during the marathon. I would be very sad. www.twitch.tv/darkwing_duck_sda/b/316245189

Ouch! One thing that I noticed in this video is that you only shot at the head once each time it appeared. Is that really the best way to do it? I always figured that shooting it more times would do more damage although if that isn't the case then you've uncovered a pretty nifty time saver there. Anyways thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to check out your stream when it's on!

I'll be sure to check out your stream when it's on! Can only do one damage per head appearance. Doesn't matter how many times you hit it. It will always take four appearances.

All right. It's almost that time. I will be going through all my games in a short while, starting with StarTropics.
This Thursday at 3:00 PM is when StarTropics kicks off the marathon.
