In particular, Nxcy has been incredibly helpful, taking time to test tricks and route choices for all of the Yoshi's Island speed runners. Also, to the fabulous TASers Spezzafer, Nxcy, and Baxter, for discovering many of the tricks in this game. This run chooses to forgo the 1-1 warp glitches, for the sake of not seeing 1-1 played 5 times.įinally, I'd like to give huge shoutouts to my girlfriend Sarah, for putting up with listening to Yoshi's Island for hours on end. This run is still far from perfect, but is certainly getting closer. requiring pushing jump during a window of time of 1/60 th of a second) in 6-5 can kill a run an hour and 30 minutes in. The only reason it hasn't been improved sooner is because Trihex has since turned his attention to 100% runs.īecause Yoshi's Island contains such a large amount of time-saving but difficult tricks and glitches, simply pulling off all of the tricks in a reasonable amount of time and not dying are the biggest time savers in this run. Such a large improvement largely reflects how much more about the game has been discovered since 2005. This any% run (any% means each level was completed as fast as possible, ignoring all the stars/red coins/flowers) is an improvement of 8 minutes and 59 seconds over Trihex's old run.

Watching Trihex play is what got me into speed running, and his help getting me started on the game have made this run possible.

Years later, during Classic Games Done Quick and its sequel the following year, Trihex continued to impress me with his utter disregard for safety for the sake of being as entertaining as possible. Yoshi's Island was one of the first speed runs I ever watched on Speed Demos Archive, and I was blown away by how entertaining Trihex's run of the game was.

First off, I would like to give a huge thanks to Speed Demos Archive and everyone involved on their end, for providing me with so much excellent entertainment over the years, and for continuing to host wonderful charity marathons for great causes.
