Nintendo DS Brain Age answers are WTF?

WTF Nintendo Mario Zelda Consoles TAS

A TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun) of Nintendo DS's Brain Age. In this run you will see that Brain Age accepts all kinds of input as correct, even when the input is in the form of a Nintendo mascot!

This run was done by Ryuto.

This run shows you how you can abuse the number recognition program by secretly drawing the number answer in each picture. You can see random characters on Brain Age Check mode, and video game stuff on calculations X 100 mode. The latter mode, the run ignores the game time and failed to launch a rocket. This is because the run aims to be as entertaining as possible.

All of the characters and items in the x100 mode are from Nintendo.

I don't see why this is interesting - if he's using a tool assist, who cares?

it's to show that the game is taking completely incorrect answers as correct. 9 + 5 apparently = 1up mushroom.

Yeah, but if you're actually playing the game, and writing numbers, it definitely detects wrong answers, and sometimes even wrongly identifies right answers.

The detection programming is iffy at best. Apparently if the answer is supposed to be 7, a single pixel will work, unless the answer is supposed to be 6, in which case... a single pixel also works. There was a work in progress video of this same game by the same author that showed a lot more geometric patterns, and one answer he used was to fill the answer board entirely in black. Not a hacked ROM, just awkward programming.

kuertee says...

the drawings are too good/perfect - even pixel perfect.
it's not that easy to draw - even with a digital pen.
i'm a little suspicious of it.

flechette says...

It's a tool-assisted recording, so it's going to be pixel perfect. This was done frame by frame. Also please note the 52 thousand re-records. Each one of those means (in some way) 'Woops, didn't work, need to go back a step and try again.' This isn't a real-time playthough of the game.

Moving this video to flechette's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
