[TAS] Genesis Madou Monogatari I by Aqfaq in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2009-07-03
Madou Monogatari (魔導物語) is an RPG best described as 'strange' (and probably more known for its spinoff series, Puyo Puyo (tasvideos.org/.... The game has overly cute design and the battles are probably a little different than you would expect. The story revolves around a girl who is on a quest to pass her final exam in a magic school.
A defining moment is one of the cutscenes, where a slime is encountered and suddenly defeated by a strange girl bursting through a brick wall. Then, an equally strange armored knight drops in from the ceiling and the two of them proceed to ignore you and chase each other away.
The fast completion time is achieved mostly by using a random-effect spell, which has a small chance of producing a devastating elephant stomp (yeah, really). Naturally, in a TAS, the "small chance" gets a new meaning (tasvideos.org/....

For anyone keeping track, this run was cleared with Arle at lv9....
But it's hard to tell given this series gives descriptions instead of numbers.

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

uh so techinically she didn't pass the exam with low level? no wonder it's such a quick run with imperfect ending completion condition
headache for this game not receiving a full translation, but i can imagine its idea

[@revaryk6868]

BAYOEEEN!

[@ke8mattj]

Don't ever mess with a five year old. They can summon elephants to stomp on you out of nowhere.

[@ACrossingSage24]

I honestly was caught by surprise to see Madou Monogatari here.

[@SRUFUS3D]

Glad to see a TAS of one of the final titles released for the MegaDrive. I always thought this series had potential.
Also the music was really great in this game, good run.

[@nahnah390]

I was about to ask if this was the game that poyo poyo was based on, but thankfully carbuncle is down on the bottom and answered that for me.

[@Terkzorr]

Game is ready after 4 years of development and 50 million budget, gets tested by TASBot
TASBot: "2EZ, try again, gg."

[@spicybreadproductions1972]

That, my friend, is why games aren't tested by robots anymore

[@Terkzorr]

@@spicybreadproductions1972 You're right, with how broken many games release these days they aren't tested at all anymore.

I like how Arle's face is constantly changing.

Why’d you make Arle fail her test
That TAS was awesome!

[@nahnah390]

Would she have passed the exam if she fought optional boss satan?

[@Acejacksonandfriends]

you need 90/100 points to pass the exam and you need the accessories to fight Satan
so you can probably have to fight him and still fail the exam if you don't have enough points

[@lakotacorff4012]

Did you know this game has a fanmade remake? Look up forest of the abyss
