Cave Story - The Jenka's Nightmare Challenge

Fluff8836 · Aug 14, 2015

Well, time to show it off.

After more than 20 attempts, I survived and completed it.

Watch this video. My time is 1'36"9. Initial time 2'53"6 without video.

X-Calibar · Aug 15, 2015

Added your score to the OP. Nice job! ;D

Bold navigation decisions... I get a pit in my stomach whenever I get crushed by moving blocks, other deaths don't seem to do that x_x

Camero · Aug 16, 2015

Wow, someone actually beat it.
Nice Job!

Fluff8836 · Aug 18, 2015

Please update my high score. It is now 1'17"9.

In this video, it is Curly's turn! I just want to say this: Anything Quote could do, Curly could do better!

X-Calibar · Aug 19, 2015

Killer time... you beat me!
And... updated ;]

If you want to know how accurately your first post is before, check this Google cache (limited time!) http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:xkSk2VWYzssJ:www.cavestory.org/forums/index.php?/topic/6675-cave-story-the-jenkas-nightmare-challenge/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us (note, the spoiler contained additional pictures, it does not work)

Time update! 1'14"7
Video in higher AVI quality, I didn't have to edit it! (Watching directly may de-sync, download and play with a media player instead.)

Now it is 1'11"7! Video

~~Sorry about that, Curly. Now Quote holds the title.~~

No!! Make that 1'08"5! Video

Curly had responded to Quote's last video and retried it with a new trick! Now she is confident with her new time! Everybody, try to beat Curly's time!

This is the story of why Jenka's legs are tired and old...

PS - Thanks for that google cache link!! Was able to get the post back, image links in source too!

At long last, Jenka finally woke up! I liked the Jenka ver. Even though gameplay remains the same, it's ... find all the puppies...?

The puppy in the chest down below must have been infused with flight magic. There were winged Puppies in the NpcSand.pbm that were unused. If only the Carry Puppy NPC were hacked though and it animates with the hold of a jump button...

I will try the new version out anyway.

EDIT: Annnnd I have set a new record! Now it is ~~1'06"1!~~ Video (Forgot to set proper recording audio source for CamStudio so I added music and sfx as best as I could in Roxio VideoWave. Next time, it won't happen again.)

EDIT: I beat my own record, but I will not show it until this time (striked) is beaten by someone else OR if the topic is old.

X-Calibar · Aug 27, 2015

One more time Fluff! One more time!

1'01"2

I love the Little Man and Puppy... there should be an adventure for them...

But, if you shatter the 1 minute barrier I surrender ;]

Fluff8836 · Aug 27, 2015

Ya got it... You actually beat the one on this high quality AVI Video. (de-sync if watched directly)

As for this YouTube video,

Hidden text highlight (or click) to view:

you did not meet 0'18"2 or 0'18"3 when the chest was opened so

beating would still be possible.

EDIT: Here it is! It is ~~1'00"5.~~ Please see post #32.

P.S. let Fixer90 know that I took on the Twinkle Toes Challenge. I have a video posted there.

Camero · Aug 27, 2015

How did you do that?

Fluff8836 · Aug 27, 2015

Making sure to keep falling without landing on certain ground. Just when falling, hold the opposite direction and "hug" the wall making sure never move to the left. Did it with trial and error. Then, it is just a matter of going back up and how you do it.

Watching previous videos I upload and X-Calibar's YouTube videos (mainly the most recent ones) really help out. Precision falling to reach the chest, you should be at 0'18"3 or better when you open it to get the Booster/Puppy/Little Man.

~~EDIT:~~ Holy crap! I now really broke the minute barrier. Record is 0'58"9! Video

(Singsongy) Quote took back the ti-tle! Quote took back the ti-tle!

0'58"5

I said I wasn't going to try again if you broke the 1 minute barrier... but I was responding to your previous post (didn't expect a new score yet...!)
So even though it looks like this score won't hold out long ;P

THIS IS MY FINAL ENTRY! :]

Fluff8836 · Aug 28, 2015

WELL! Accepted another challenge and managed to get... wait for it...

0'58"2

And here is the video here. Watch it entirely please.

With tracks from 1001 Spikes. And Curly takes it back!

X-Calibar · Aug 28, 2015

Curly can't be stopped!

Score updated...
Nice work, I think you earn 1st place... (nice choice, 1001 spikes!)

.... for now ! :muscledoc:

I'm not even going to TRY and make a speedrun, if an area contains those moving blocks, I usually get agitated by them for a obvious reason.

They might be a bit scary, but at the very least the moving blocks are very predictable, given that they're proximity triggered. And if it's predictable it's not too hard to speedrun, normally.

I actually have no problems with them in vanilla CS(aside from waiting for them). But for some reason, they usually crush me in other cases. Like in the short forked section in this mod.
I guess I'm going to retry at least beating this challenge, instead of just only reaching the chest and dying afterwards.

Fluff8836 · Aug 30, 2015

Doing it again here. I am keeping my new time under wraps until either my current record is beaten or (this time) 30 days have passed from my last post. If you have a new time, please quote this post to alert me.

Follow my strategies and tips on this earlier post.

I tried it and i failed horribly......

Can i actually use the puppy characther sprite to use in my mod?
I will credit you

Now lets look if i can beat the challenge!

It's a tough challenge, it took me a lot of tries to figure out how to make it the first time...
Thanks for giving it a shot!

And sure. Puppy needs a mod.
Mr. Little needs one too though...
