GBA Kirby & The Amazing Mirror in  

am I watching Kirby... or sonic?

I've 100-percented this game like 6 times, and I never realized that the wheel was immune to spikes.

No wonder Kirby was the only survivor in world of light

8:19 Mini boss: oh god ITS A SPEED RUNNIG KIRBY Kirby: i am speed *mini boss screams during entire fight*

GF: kirby come over Kirby: I can't the mirror's broken GF: My parents aren't home Kirby:

17:20 "You must be THIS TALL to fight me!"

22:10 He can even tell the movement of Green and mimicked it, what a legend

This is a TAS, the game was slowed down and savestates were used to make gameplay perfect. The game was played in an emulator and over a long time (a month of work) I created a button input sequence that completes the game the way that you see it in the video.

neven in your life will you ever see such advanced weeling

19:58 tfw it is faster to just restart the game than watching a cutscene

1:35 Fighting Frosty with wheel is faster than shooting stars at him 1:43 Skipping the Moonlight Mansion button is faster because we go to Candy Constellation from Peppermint Palace now. This was adopted from Blackbread's RTA. 2:25 Fighting King Golem with Wheel is faster in the TAS and resetting saves about 5 seconds 3:15 We go to Cabbage Cavern's button instead of Ocean, skipping Cabbage Cavern's 2nd button which is faster. Also adopted from Blackbread. 3:43 We go to Carrot Castle on a different and much faster path. Also adopted from Blackbread. The idea is to complete Castle, have wheel and reappear next to Rainbow Route's door to go to Mustard Mountain. I'm still conflicted if no-reset saves enough time or not (my testing was a bit faulty), to be honest, but it is very minimal. 6:00 By mixing Missile here, we do not have to get Missile from Olive Ocean button room, so we can skip that button. 6:44 Getting candy beats Batafire faster. This was also adopted from Blackbread. 7:42 I need to press both buttons at Peppermint Palace because I will complete Peppermint Palace later. 12:43 I feel conflicted about this room. It could be completed fast if a pal Kirby helped break the bomb block but there's no way to manipulate luck like that. UFO ended up being a few seconds slower so I went through with missile. 14:24 I use a new strategy with double star to kill Gobbler very fast 18:31 Instead of coming here slowly with a mixed Hammer, I use a pal Kirby and double star to kill Wiz fast as well. 19:50 At the time of production, I wasn't sure if to reset here but it turned out you can skip the Dark Metaknight cutscene by softresetting, saving about 16 seconds in total (but leaving you with no Throw ability). It is faster this way. I also use double stars for all the Dark Minds instead of throw. This is also faster because I get to keep Master which starts the subsequent fight faster (you don't have to grab the sword first). 21:52 I use a pal Kirby to use Hammer Up b's in the air to deal much damage. And somehow, if you manage to hit both mirrors at the same time you can deal damage on both mirrors. At the time of production , I didn't know this was possible (the old strategy involved hitting the eye and the mirror instead of both mirrors). 22:46 I don't have the exact frame numbers at hand, but 22:46 is the point where the last hit on Dark Mind 6 is dealt and so the TAS' length measured in RTA timing would be about 22:45. But I don't end timing here since Kirby & Amazing Mirror TASes have a tradition of completing the Staff roll minigame with a ridiculous hit number. 240 is possible with Kirby alone. It had been mentioned that you could use other Kirbys to kill Darkmind6 faster and get a higher number and I had said that you can't because of his invincibility spans. I think the truth is, you can't kill Darkmind6 faster because he does have invincibility spans. But you can get higher hit numbers because the game does keep track of each hit regardless of an invincibility span. But you can't really control the stupid AI and make it much more ridiculous so I only got 248 out of the game along with Green Kirby. In theory, multiplayer could get 960 (maximum the game allows is 999, then it loops to 0).

This was nothing short of beautiful to watch. I feel like I need to start using missile more now.

8:19 you killed him by merely existing in his vicinity for an extended period of time

0:25 that feeling when the first ability mix is the ability that makes the game 10 times faster

i just love the fact that kirby is doing all of that while wearing a backwards cap

19:26 “Huh? Why would he use suplex?” 15 seconds later, “Oh...”

Introducing Kirby the Hedgehog.

Rest in peace grey Kirby, you will be missed. 1:11

Kirby: yay! I killed a boss in 10 seconds, i'm gonna dance to celebrate it! *resets game* mugg1991: no

23:09 Stop, stop! He's already dead!

Missile-Wheel and the Amazing Mirror

"Wheel and Missile is only good at levels built around it."

8:18 Mr. Frosty looks like they're afraid of Kirby

Nostalgia strikes so hard, seeing this game again make me want to play it again and again like I did before... Great speedrun!

It's a TAS on the Japanese game. Because the title screen is one second faster than other versions.

Meanwhile... Red: Hey guys I found a umbrella Yellow: Aw nice. I lit myself on fire. Green: Hey have you seen the original? Og Kirby: AHHHHHHHH GOTTA GO FAAAAAASSSSSSTTTTTTTTT! Yellow: Oh hey look so the areas are opened up... Oh the world is saved already?

18:33 He called his friend to help him jump the poor guy.

Kirby and the Amazing Wheel

17:50 this double inhale was the smoothest thing i've ever seen

It's nice to see that everyone still enjoys our childhood game, lots of nostalgia.

10:31 Game: Boss Battle! Kirby: Nope.avi

7:00 wavedash

This is the coolest speedrun I've seen. Everything looks clean, not many game breaking bugs either.

Meta-Knight: "Come fight me." Kirby: "Poyo" (I can't, I have to find shards of the mirror." Meta-Knight: "The winner gets cake." Kirby:

17:20 I just wish brawl were this easy :/

Screw the Ultimate meta knight sword... The wooden hammer is better.

good god does this game give the middle finger to the term "linear". So awesome.

When your little brother asks you to clear a level he can't beat

If it only takes this long with 1 controlled player, I couldn't even imagine what a 4-player TAS of this would be like.

What a fucking program kills Mega Titan in like 5 seconds. *I'm not salty I swear* Edit: I guess hitboxes just don't exist in Olive Ocean either

9:47 Dear god the stage cannot keep up with the speed of this guy

9:47 Calm down there sonic

23:27 stop, he's already dead... :'(

Imagine terminal montage animating this

*Meanwhile, Kirby bros are enjoying exploring the new world they found themselves within*

16:04 this room looks really good, impressive background art/color choice

The smooth slide at 6:59 is amazing

“Yeah, I will be there in like 20 minutes, I just need to beat this entire video game first.”

"What the fuck are hitboxes?"

1:11 Shadow Kirby : Finally my time to shi- *gets run over by Kirby*

4:01 - 4:07 Kirby jump matches the music lol

This was my childhood and quite possibly one of my favorite games ever.

when you wanna play a game from start to end but you have to go in 30 minutes

That cannon room with the spikes in Carrot Castle was insane. Nice work.

I know this it TAS but even 12:12 seems a bit... FISHY

this TAS guy is good at every game i swear

3:10 hey I see that wheel inside the wall

Wheel Kirby too OP. Plz nerf.

**Waits for terminalmontage**

Till this day the background of this game are still amazing for me

Jfc It took me an Hour to Figure out How To Beat Meta Titan as a kid and it takes you like. 2 seconds. But Serious; Very Nice Speedrun!

GOD I love this game. They included a freaking shoot em up as a part of the final boss AND the credits. Genius

21:56 the hammer blows in time with the heartbeat got me 😂

Kirby friends: YES META SWOR- Kirby: Hammer is better.

The route is pretty much set in stone. It's just about if you can keep wheel/missile all the way through until you reach a boss or not (and if not, you waste some minutes). There is a 28 minute long RTA on nicovideo that does very good in that regard, using missile for all of the ocean, and wheel everywhere else.

Ha very nice! Interesting how this video is being recommended even though it's from 2012.

8:57 so are those sonics who are jealous of this pink fast guy and trying to kill him?

It's cool to see how many things were cross-inspired/referenced between this and Smash Bros. Master and Crazy Hand are literally bosses in this game, and the level design in this game inspired the level design of the Subspace maze in Brawl. All hail Master-Hero Soccer-Guy.

thank you, i was played this game since 8 year ago, i never finish this game, kirby is so amazing, my childhood

with the emulator's built-in avi capture. The emulator is visualboyadvance-24m-svn3xx rerecording. I capture the avi uncompressed and encode it with x264 usually. This video in particular I captured uncompressed and encoded to mpeg4 or h264 in virtualdub because I didn't know about x264 at the time. That's why the video's quality is a bit bad, washed down, blocky..

1:35 - Frosty: uh oh I'm gonna die, oh well...

8:19 Rare footage of boss realizing its dealing with a speedrunner

14:27 made me laugh so hard.

i still have my gba and copy of amazing mirror i havent played it since i was five its been buried in my shelf for the past ten years so i forgot about it this showed up in my reccomendations so i thought id give it a shot i had a nostalgia trip so hard i almost cried from being so happy??

Man this was literally months and months of my childhood. Very cool

thanks with this video i completed the game after 9 years, im crying

I hit him in the eye 2 times and I hit both mirrors, which is 90 damage (20,20,25,25). So either the guide is wrong and I dealt more, or I hit his eye at the same time I hit both mirrors.

0:46 that ollie tho

So many sick dodges... Super cool work, Dude!

7 minutes in and clearly this SPEEDRUN is Godlike Speed! No mortal human being has these capabilities. Either that or the creators got a computer program to walkthrough this prism like maze of a labyrinth! #UndoubtablyFlabberGasted

Doctor: You only have 25 minutes to live Me:

This was amazing! This game was my childhood, I loved it.

That... Is the most satisfying game to watch a speedrun TAS style!😉

Never have I been so confused and yet mesmerised at the same time

Wow. The only thing better than this would be four TASes on linked systems completing the game in co-op as optimally as possible.

8:19 AHH GET IT OFF GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF

ah, carrot castle. my deeply beloathed. it genuinely heals my inner child to watch someone absolutely tear through it like its nothing.

9:14 anxiety mode

In my opinion still the best Kirby game. Especially because of the exploration and open world.

システム｢ルーレットスタート｣ ルーレット｢ホイール｣ システム｢…(察し)｣ TASさん｢乱数なんてなかった良いね？(圧力)｣

1:17 min in and this perfect play is mind-blowing enough. Imagine it's not TAS but one realised by pure skill, it's even more entertaining to watch.

Great recommendation. I never have nor plan on playing this game, but this was amazing

This makes me cry ;-; I got stuck on the part where there mirror was complete and you had to fight dark Meta Knight

DEJA VU! I’ve just been in this place before!

Speedrun like these are the best to try, short and very skill based

i always had the greatest time playing this game. looking all over, checking every single area, looking for a secret, or a new area. even then, i couldn't even get close to fixing the mirror. all that, and i quit, only to see the game get absolutely torn apart from top to bottom in a TAS. nice.

This is extremely satisfying

1:08 WTH HOW

One of the best TAS videos.

Awesome! I never beat this game as a kid, I always got lost and I'd play something else instead so this is super impressive
