Even without the dragon hat, I thought the time I got was still very good for how I beat the bird. Also, the fire from the Dragon hat does not destroy the spikey balls in the next level either, or I might have considered using it to defeat the boss here, and then use it in the next. Reason: you lose more time overall in this level and the next in Parsley Woods, than you save by using the Dragon hat here. Normal times on the other levels, though, so no other complaints.įor all you that wanted me to use the Dragon hat to beat the boss here are out of luck. Not my worst time at this boss, but luck was just not on my side for him this time. A good time is very possible because I did the other half of the level perfectly. You literally do have to cross your fingers when you get to this guy, as you never know when he's going to use his tongue, and when he's going to use his on you. I thought the bosses in my first speedrun of Mickey's Magical quest were random, but this guy takes the cake. All the other levels here I thought went really well, and I even got extremely close to my best time in a long time on level 08, as well getting a great time in the boss level as well.įirst off, let me just say how much I detest the boss here. I get to the point where I can do it every time in practice, and then screw up every once in awhile in an actual recording. That second jump to get to the very top level is extremely difficult to pull off 100% of the time. What you saw me try to do in that second room of this level failed obviously, so I had to take the ladder. The 9th level could definitely be improved (3 seconds at minimum, I think), and I would have restarted here, but I figured I got a good enough time in the end to not worry about a 3 second loss all that much. The 5th level could be improved the most, though, but for some reason the timer hates me here because even when I got into the last door to the boss with a good time (a time I know will give me what I normally get here) I still end up losing 1 second on the boss overall. Turning around, on the other hand, requires you to let go of B, hitting the direction pad the other way, and quickly hitting B again to go the other way. Also, for anybody new to this game, the trick to staying in the air with the Jet hat for long periods of time is quickly tapping the same button you start jetting with twice again, quickly, to keep going. The Jet hat is the best item to use in this game, and there is no reason not to ever lose it, or change to another hat for any reason, at least in this category. The tree glitch was probably the best timesaver in this game, and because of it, I increased the time in that level by 9 seconds (10 or 11 is possible, but I'll discuss that a little more when I get there). The problem with using it though, is that time is going to be added to my overall time to compensate for the Super Gameboy being faster than the Gameboy itself. I used the Super Gameboy cartridge to record this run on, since the Gameboy player is currently not in my possession because I never thought I'd ever speedrun a Gameboy game lol. Also, thanks to Radix, Mikwuyma, Nate, Enhasa, and the rest of the staff, for providing and maintaining such a wonderful site, and hosting all of its communities' incredible speedruns. So credit to that trick goes to MasterGeorge.

Thanks to freefang also for providing MasterGeorges' youtube video of the tree glitch in Parsley Woods. Also, DRybes, for the advice he gave to help, too, as well as anybody else in the thread that helped me at all for this run. I would like to first thank freefang for all of his youtube videos of each level, and helping with strategies.
