[TAS] DKC3(GBA) - Any% Tool-assisted Speedrun

This is a Tool-assisted Speedrun.
Please visit http://tasvideos.org for more information.

After quite a while I took the time to work on this TAS.
It was a very special one to do, as this run is definitely the one I put the most time into when it comes to grinding PBs.
This might be why I was more than eager to see what time a TAS could get.

An important thing to mention right away: I am aware of the fact that this game allows for some crazy OoB-clips that can save a lot of time. However, these clips are mostly very precise and inconsistant, so we decided to not allow them in the usual any%-category, that is why I didn't use them in this TAS either. A run that would make use of oob-clips would be put into a new category on the leaderboards, but as of now, no one has done it.

Especially the Timestop-Glitches in combination with Storage Warps were the biggest timesavers in this TAS, compared to a normal RTA run. Activating Timestop is a frame-perfect trick, which in a TAS is of course not a big deal.
I also manipulated the RNG on Barbos and Croctopus, so I was able to beat the fights way quicker.
During this project I discovered a lot of neat small timesavers, some of them might be working for RTA too, but others will most likely not be feasable because they are too precise and provide a rather low reward.

I hope you enjoy watching. If you have any questions, just put them in the comments.
