[TAS] SNES Kirby's Dream Course "maximum score" by snc76976 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1633M
TAS originally published on 2010-10-05
Kirby is a spherical character, so naturally it makes sense that he should be whacked around like a golf ball. A ball that can absorb the powers of enemies and use them to his advantage, of course!
This run aims for best score, then fastest time. A lot of hole-in-ones are scored, even at great time expense.
Note that there is a second series of courses which are similar to the original set. These are played as well for sport, before attacking the final boss and winning.
This run is 01:52.25 minute faster than snc's previous TAS ( tasvideos.org/1532M ). There's no improvement in the number of hole-in-ones, but his secondary goal is done significantly faster!

[@ninjacat230]

21:37 probably the craziest shot

[@VenomFaiz03]

Whenever one of the holes takes two shots instead of a hole in one.
Me, who would probably take 12 shots to clear the same stage: "well that's disappointing."

The following holes require two shots right now: 3-1, 5-3, 5-4, Ex3-1, Ex3-5, Bowser in the Fire Sea.

[@crawmslor5943]

Not to worry: Pannenkoek is spending sleepless days poring over these levels to drop the number of golf swings.

[@devinhigoy221]

Time stamps?

[@leonardpayne8795]

I think Bowser in the Fire Sea is from Super Mario 64.

Wow, Wheel is an important part of ANY Kirby TAS.

Not adventure though

>maximum score
But... it's golf.

[@Knuckles5140]

So that would make it... Minimum score?

[@starwarriorterra8373]

Technically you could still say maximum as it's maximum shots below par, but yeah I found that strange too lol

[@Bartholamue]

Yeah...I thought it was going to be the max score you can get too

[@TheUltimateRare]

@@starwarriorterra8373 It's just a silly way of naming it. golf isn't about scoring points, it's about getting less points..

[@starwarriorterra8373]

@@TheUltimateRare I did end that brief explanation by saying that yeah, that was still a strange way of putting it. I entirely agree. It's likely for branch categorization purposes on the TASVideos website.

[@john-jackforte6899]

That hole in one fanfare is really satisfying to listen to.

22:55 - I damn near lost my mind 😮

A sensational storm of tingling feelings around my whole body as I watch this.

This is incredible. I knew how to get some of the Holes in One on the first 3 courses but I never knew most of these were even possible to do it in one.

[@pinguin4898]

if this was 2 player mode, the other player would be fucking livid

I love it when hi jump is used to get kirby into the hole :)
kirby go down the hole~

That description is brilliant

i was literally just done watching the old tas of this lol

[@iP0STcomments]

yeah that’s what i meant

[@tangy3003]

this video would be pretty cool with timestamps

[@RobinLSL]

29:02 is there a reason for going 1 tile beyond that pumpkin?

[@kevinsooley9674]

Nintendo needs to make a new dream course game. Along with several other old games that were best sellers

[@ravioli4601]

Facts
A new dream course game with a link's awakening styled art style would be great imo

[@GigaOtomia]

I came here expecting the opposite of what I got. Maximum strokes, not lowest score.

[@user-vg1tq7op2o]

Amazing！

[@jdorffer]

Wow this is amazing well done

[@gabrielstar777]

2:37 nah

[@landfillbaby]

i wonder how many of these were the solutions the developers intended. good tas well done snc

[@Oakshield2]

Loved this game growing up. Might give it a play one of these days

[@wizardsongs5409]

56:20 amazing

[@batdogduke]

underrated TAS

[@Minty_Meeo]

56:42 I think this is the only time a triple damage boost is used in this TAS, unless I forgot one earlier.

[@SomeGuy712x]

I almost feel like there's gotta be a way to ace Extra 3-1...

[@ThatBenKraft]

21:34 wtf

[@kevinsooley9674]

Will there ever be a hole in one on 3-1?
TAS Bot - hold my beer

Are you taking about the Kabu?

[@twangus7766]

I know full well it's a robot doing it, but hot damn is it really really impressive to watch

[@leegantel461]

it’s not a robot playing it they’re just really good at the game

[@seangiglio]

It’s not a robot, it’s a real person heavily using save states, slowdown, and other emulator tools to make a perfect run

[@underscore319]

44:50
yeah, that's a 3-pointer right there

[@jmcknight0712]

Awesome

What's up with the weird line on Normal 7-8 (approx 29:00 ) ? Camera shenanigans?

This is mini golf but without using a putter and with Kirby as the ball

[@HunnyDoo]

damn you 3-1!

It was a hole in two both times, dammit

[@Lebon19]

And 5-3 and 5-4!

[@jc___underscore___]

@@Lebon19 im talking about how it was a hole in two both on he original course and the extra course, i think extra 5-3 and 5-4 were hole in ones

[@smashmallow1012]

Never really understood what tornado does in this game

[@mike-brews2314]

It allows a small amount of directional control while Kirby is in motion.

[@terraxgaming4117]

It spins

[@PoyoDreamer]

You can steer it with left and right.

Worse but more common ufo

[@PrimevalDemon]

I have wanted so long for dreamcourse - like to become a genre or subgenre/category but it never will.

[@animamachinae8658]

Why the demo play between world 2 and 3?

[@MillhiBiscotti]

Old comment, but if anyone is curious, it's to set up a bug where the next bounce on water will store the demo's high bounce, making the ball bounce way higher than it should in 3-5 and enabling an otherwise impossible hole in one.

[@TheNookOfficial]

this isn't max score. in Golf, score goes backwards to do well.
