[TAS] PSX Pepsiman: The Running Hero "100%" by NhatNM in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/3764M
TAS originally published on 2018-08-11
Pepsiman is based on the Japanese Pepsi mascot who appeared in different commercials in Japan. In these he appeared where people were thirsty, quenched the people's thirst, then injured himself most of the time.
The game more or less follows this series of events as you run along stages collecting Pepsi cans, while trying your best to avoid injury or public humiliation. The goal of every stage is to run along a set course, jumping or sliding out of harm's way and in the end reach a vending machine with... you guessed it! Pepsi of course!
Although it may not look like it due to emulation differences, NhatNM ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/N... ) has improved over his previous movie by 174 frames of in-game time.

Years of TASing has brought us to this moment

[@MegamanXfan21xx]

I love how the last level is just the Pepsi apocalypse.

[@E-102_Gamma]

I love how there are multiple Pepsi apocalypses in this game.

[@gab_v250]

Pepsi-pocalypse

Yah And PepsiMan Was Being Chased By a Truck

[@duffertonshire]

Can't decide if there is enough Pepsi product placement in this game, especially the last level, feels like it's missing something
..hmm...

[@mazucon2]

PEPSI ONLY MY CHOICE.

[@Glockenspheal]

A TAS to surpass metal gear

[@AndrewBlechinger]

This is the best 3D Sonic game.

[@browndiddly2659]

Agreed.

[@wonderguardstalker]

I'm just impressed by how much shit pepsiman can just weave through. Ialways assumed that most obstacles had those boxes that just encompassed he whole general area and you'd have to jump over them. But nope

[@davyjones3105]

No janky hitboxes

Get some Coke or water instead LOL.

@@Batman43221 Actually Pepsi or Coke will make you even more thirsty

I don't know why industries keep making videogames when they objectively peaked with Pepsiman.

[@metalwolf4186]

How does Pepsi Man keep guzzling down cans of Pepsi when he doesn't ever pull the tabs to open them?

[@malcovich_games]

He absorbs the cans and their contents. As shown in the game, he shoves the can into his waist after that heroic drinking gesture.

[@stadiumking328]

does pepsiman have a diet transformation

[@Iinneus]

Well, no, but there is a red Pepsiman to represent the more red-prominent logos, and there's a lemon Pepsiman (who's actually the same Pepsiman with a lemon mask that swears he's a different person).
there's also pepsiwoman
she has jiggly liquid metal boobs

Will there be a faster run soon? Because there probably might be a way to end the input earlier on the last level but i have my doubts though.

thing: PEPSIMAN!!!

[@johnclark926]

Does this obsolete the one made in 2014?

[@ezgames6925]

yes, the time seems longer but that's because this new movie was made on a more accurate emulator (also because of the addition of the PSX bios).

[@johnclark926]

EZGames 69 Should they update the title of the previous TAS to say "[Obsoleted]" or should they keep it as it is?

[@ezgames6925]

@@johnclark926 it should update

[@JoseBronxRican]

I'm sayin' tho: Pepsiman's objective is to collect Pepsi and dodge Pepsi obstacles and Pepsi attacks so he can reach a vending machine to buy Pepsi? Why does Pepsi want him dead? And at 18:14 Silver Surfer's lawyers are like "O NO HE DI'NT!"?

[@dankdankeryetdanker2726]

So why are the motorcyclists such pricks in the 3rd chaptee?

Now, to point out things that make no sense.
1:52 His arm is going through his torso, and his hand is going through his thigh.
8:24 That truck can't accelerate correctly.
13:54 A rolling stack of logs.
18:13 When he jumps, he turns to the left, but when he's on the board, he's facing right.
Let me know if I missed anything.
