The SNES version is much closer to Amiga compared to DOS, so you could use MASTER 88's SNES high-score results and videos as a reference--the SNES scoring system favors percent saved much more than skills saved, so the results are effectively optimized for maximum saved.  I believe only Mayhem 26 and 29 will differ from the DOS results (lose 5 and lose 3 respectively, ie. 1 more each compared to DOS).

Of course, I'm not sure you actually want to do some of them. :devil: The thread clearly showed how exhausting it can be to do, for example 100% for Mayhem 2 using the sliding glitch on the actual console without aid of savestates and such.

Lemmings Revolution Level 9-2 (Can't Get There from Here) 100% is now confirmed (the previous record was 49/50).

Sadly, I can't take the credit for this one.  I found the solution on the Lemmings Fandom wiki.  It exploits a glitch that I was previously unaware of:

The Glitch
You can make a lemming pass through a thin steel wall by attempting to bash through it multiple times in rapid succession.

Sadly, our overall number of lemmings saved has just gone down.

In July 2022, I asked Gronkling and ApG77 whether they could confirm tseug's claim of 100% on Genesis Tricky 12. Both looked into it and believed it to be impossible. Today I also asked Paiy, with the same result.

Since I have never seen proof of tseug's result and the leading Genesis experts believe it to be impossible, I have now removed it from the official results.
