Lemmings Speedrunning

[WillLem]

the new 'z' key function (run until the end)

Is that like a huge frameskip or more like a fast-forward?

"run in hyperspeed until the end of the game"
like "skip run" until all lemmings are saved or died or time is up.
for example when playing Fun 1: assign a digger to the first lemming landing on the ground and then press 'z'

Some results updates for my L1 speedruns. I've now completed Amiga, plus the first 2 ranks in SuperLemmini (links to videos):

Amiga

Fun - 34:37 - an improvement over my previous record to bring it under the 35-minute mark
Tricky - 46:54 - a very solid run with one mistake which cost me about 30 seconds. I'll be trying again at some point to get this below 45:00
Taxing - 59:15 - finally managed to get this under the hour after many attempts. I'm super happy with this run and it's unlikely I'll try to improve it
Mayhem - 1:16:09 - very happy with this run overall, it's some of the best Lemmings I've ever played! The PBs in the run are unfortunately offset slightly by a handful of restarts (nothing too costly), and again there is some room for improvement in the strats; the run could probably be done in 1:10:00 - 1:15:00, again with a lot of practice

N.B. A blunder on level 29 Save Me almost cost me the Mayhem run, but I very fortunately pulled it back to avoid the restart. Still, it was bugging me that my performance of this level was below what I'm normally capable of, so I later ran it individually for a record of 3:52.


SuperLemmini

Fun - 14:45
Tricky - 23:22
Taxing - 28:29
Mayhem - 37:16


NeoLemmix

Fun - 5:28
Tricky - 9:34
Taxing - 13:58
Mayhem - 22:56

Some amazing news! This weekend on Saturday at 4pm EDT 10pm BST (EDITED TIME), I will be showcasing SMS Lemmings Fun in SegaCrew's Segalympics marathon!! Ever since I picked the game up it's been a total pipe dream to get it into an event, so this is a really great opportunity and I'd love to see as many of you as possible in there cheering me on. Hopefully we pick up a bunch of new runners to any version! You can watch the action live at https://www.twitch.tv/segacrew
