Hello there and welcome to C-Island!

StarTropics is my favorite game on the NES. I love the mechanics, I love the graphics, and I love how solid the game is. When I started speedrunning, it was a natural fit to start with my favorites, and so I became a StarTropics and A Link to the Past speedrunner. While I love both games, StarTropics has always beckoned me home. My first ever TAS work was on StarTropics (and I'm currently working on a heavy improvement to Aglar's TAS of the game), and the more I learn about the game, the more I love it. Unfortunately, there is not really a good place for all the information the community has compiled, and what's more: it isn't all in the same place. The information needed to speedrun this game needs to be easily accessible for anyone who wants it. I am committed to growing this community, and one of the first steps for that is a centralized database of all we know, not just in Foulco's, or Bugdoctor's, or even my brain. And here it is. I'm going to be putting up info when I can, and I definitely want to see more info from more contributors. I know a bit about this game, but each of you knows something I don't. Put that here, so we can start to really grow this community!
