- Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) of Pac-Man Arrangement Arcade Co-Op (1996) in 7:24 (2 Players)
Game from Namco Classics Collection Vol. 2
Goal: Finish the game as fast as possible.
-Time begins upon "PUSH 1p OR 2p START BUTTON" (0:26) and ends when you lose control of Pac-Man on the final stage (7:50).
-The record on Speedrun.com for Co-Op is 8:16. They had a very good game. I was surprise the TAS was able to cut almost a full minute out of that time. I didn't expect to improve this time so much.
-I lost some time to get a few fruits. I shouldn't do this in a speedrun but I can't help it. This leaves room for improvement.

====Description==== (from Wikipedia)
Pac-Man Arrangement is a 1996 arcade game in the Pac-Man series. Pac-Man Arrangement follows Pac-Man as the player guides him to eat all the dots in the maze while avoiding Clyde (Blinky), Pinky, Inky and Blinky (Clyde). This game features a name error in which Blinky and Clyde's names are swapped. Alongside retaining identical gameplay from the original game, a few new gimmicks have been added as well. The game features 23 rounds in total split into 6 worlds, each with their own unique maze similar to Ms. Pac-Man, with the last round taking the form of a boss fight.
A fifth, yellow ghost who wears glasses named Kinky is introduced in this game. Kinky wanders around and can merge with other ghosts to give them special abilities, such as giving Clyde (Blinky) the ability to dash, giving Pinky the ability to jump close to Pac-Man, giving Inky the ability to create a mirror clone which can harm Pac-Man, and giving Blinky (Clyde) the ability to produce big Pac-Dots. Kinky, unlike the normal ghosts, can be eaten without the need of a power pellet, and produces power pellet effects when Kinky is eaten. The number of times Kinky appears increases throughout each World.
New features include Pac-Man being able to dash temporarily after eating a Dash Pellet, being able to jump to another part of the maze using a Jump Pad, and 4 new power-up pills with different functions, such as increasing Pac-Man's speed temporarily, trapping the ghosts in the ghost box, being able to create a mirror Pac-Man that can eat objects like the normal Pac-Man, being able to digest big Pac-Dots without slowing down, and stairs which prevent Pac-Man from changing directions when he enters them.
Pac-Man Arrangement is split up into six worlds, each having its own different theme, including a toy box world, a water land, a world themed off the original Pac-Man game, a grass land, a pyramid, and a mechanical base. The final round takes the form of a boss fight, where Pac-Man must defeat the Ghosts' Mech by eating all the Pac-Dots on the maze to destroy the Kinky clones and eventually the mech itself.
The game also incorporates two-player simultaneous play. A second player can join in anytime during gameplay, and will control a green Pac-Man, in which the player can help the other player complete the stage or compete for the highest score. At the end of every round when two players are present, a score total screen will appear and the player who scores the most wins per round. At the end of the game, the player with the highest score total overall wins the game. The game also features continues, however unlike the other arrangement games featured, the player's score is reset when they continue a game after losing all their lives.

It’s like having the blue pill effect for the whole game
This is dangerously close to being a work of art.
The ending was always so ominous to me. Someone, somewhere is being chased by monsters!
Excellent TAS. I'd be interested myself in a score attack TAS in some of the arrangement games
This is incredible! I would love to see a dig dug arrangement tas sometime
I've always wanted to see a TAS of this game amazing job
Trick When Using 2 players: You Can Mirror the left and right controls for Player 2 To make it a permanent blue pill effect. I Used this trick just because the game was pretty long with 23 stages on mobile.
This is so dope 💯
i'm very glad something like this finally came to be
Very cool! Never saw this game in the wild.
Dig Dug Arrangement is next
Damn that is fast as hell!
Well done! Any plans on doing a 1P version in the future? I need ideas on how to beat this game SO bad.
Excelent video
lol that victory dance
I couldn't play this Co-Op. The green (I think?) Pac-Man is the right shade of green where I cannot tell it apart from yellow at a glance. Mild red-green colorblindness and all.
👍👍
Let’s see a TAS if you can score the highest score possible like the other high score TAS runs you did on the other games.
Me and my brother used to make fun of his nose lol!
How are you TASing Arcade games? This is so dope it makes me wanna TAS "NBA Jam"
I programmed my own TAS editor on Windows which uses a modified version of MAME. But it's not user friendly and I have to recompile for every new game I want to TAS.
It look like this: th-cam.com/channels/2L2lPOf1YQdZsoZIwfmfAA.htmlcommunity?lb=Ugkx63NgsYBp-VLP6Bzamia-OgTrpjOK0SpE
If you want to TAS arcade games, look here: tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources
or you can try MAMEHawk which is currently in development: tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/21778
@@Prog61 Thank you so much! I'm gonna use MAME RR. Have you use that before and Does that emulator support frame advance?
I used MAME-RR for the 1st TAS I did (Tutankham).
Yes MAME-RR supports frame advance. In MAME-RR you don't have an editor, you just enter the movements frame by frame. It's ok for simple games but eventually you will want to have an editor.
But MAME-RR is a good place to start.
@@Prog61 OK that's wonderful! Now where do I access the Tools tools/hotkeys in MAME RR?
When MAME-RR is running press TAB, all the configs are there.
I thought it was a arcade cabinet
Move over, poor player!
