So the reason I'm making this is, it seems like a lot of people didn't understand the game
So it might have made it kind of hard to appreciate some of the things in the speedrun
This was TAS'd but it was mostly segmented. I just used Mupen
because saving and loading is a lot easier than
splicing a video together
No lakitu skip because coming into contact with the lakitu kills you
Right door because the left door blows up
I'll show you guys, I'll edit that on screen
no matter what I did, I could not maneuver around the lakitu
so I had to do that
Weird movement into the stage because of the fact that there's quicksand in front of BOB
These trees in this game are actually really fucking cool
It was one of my favorite things
When I played this game blind
And I I imagine a lot more people will understand some of the things after seeing
The highlight video of this
but that highlight video did not exist until after the speedrun went up
So the weird movement again is because the quicksand
As it's probably faster ways to do it and I don't claim this to be at all optimal
I just thought it would be fun and interesting to do this project
Especially with certain things, like in Shifting Sand Land.
I knew it would be ridiculous
so I was like, okay, I definitely want to do this because I think it would look really cool
And I don't often upload videos that look really cool. I just upload funny shit usually
So if any movement looks shitty it's because I did not play this frame by frame
I just segmented it
if it worked I went with it because I was going for entertainment and not a perfect speedrun
So if you didn't see the highlight video
It is so important that if you jump in that tree
You have to land into a star. Otherwise, you're gonna softlock because the owl will talk to you forever
And you're stuck in a text loop
That's one of the dumb shit about this game
That movement was actually really bad and I realized that there was better easier movement after
but my goal wasn't
Like I said to have the perfect speedrun, I just wanted an entertaining video
When I streamed this game blind this guy actually killed me
Because, I did not expect this and as he was rising I hit his back multiple times
Stacked me out really easily
So the only reason I'm making this video is a lot of people
were commenting on things like the lakitu skip or whatever and just saying that the thing was awful
Like, sure, it's not perfect. But it's also definitely not awful. I thought it turned out great.
I wonder if I could have done
Somehow
For entertainment purposes, jumped from the tree and landed on this star
That would've been really hard, but it would've been really cool
And I regret not trying to do that
The reason that I went under the way I did
Instead of how you would normally do this is because that pole is like, made out of fire and there was a weird wall
So I just went around the wall
Now this star
I had no idea if what I was gonna try to do was even possible
Like right here, I save stated
And then I was like "I guess I'm gonna just keep jumping around and see if I can luckily get the star through the wall"
and I actually got it in a few attempts and I just fucking was like
I probably am never gonna do that again
So if it wasn't good, if it was sloppy, I still went with it because it looks so cool
So the thing about this stage is
As far as I can tell, wall kicks will work is entirely unobtainable
And that's really dumb
When you jump on a spindrift it does the same thing as when you jump on a shy guy
You just go absolutely flying and I tried to get the star that way but I haven't had any luck
It's very hard to control.
I was really proud of that movement to the penguin.
I thought that was one of the cooler things but I actually forgot about it. I haven't rewatched this in a while
And then this star is boring obviously, nothing here has changed
Dark world as well
Almost everything is entirely the same
It was just slightly more difficult
Because when you grab a red coin, when you grab any coin that isn't part of like a five coin or eight coin entity
So line of coins or a ring of coins
It will spawn a bob-omb
and, that sucks
I was really proud of that movement going into the stage
I thought it was so cool because it took me forever to find a way to enter that wasn't just ugly as fuck
But yeah, like I was saying
This is only slightly harder
The bombs kind of push you a little bit
But not so much
this is single-segment, these stages, I didn't like, use any frame advancer
or savestate mid stage because this is basically as hard as the stage normally is
If you saw my video which contained the highlights for this game
I said that throwing Bowser was edited when I missed a Bowser throw
Like "Oh it was random"
"I push B and it didn't throw it" or whatever I said
but this Bowser fight is exactly the same
If I had fooled anyone, I was making excuses for being bad at throwing Bowser
Ok, so this right here you cannot escape this
The cutscene goes on for too long you're stuck up there.
It's gay baby jail
It's gay baby jail if you don't save and quit I should say
(Someone feed Piplup Guy before he starves)
So right door is important here
A funny thing about this section when I was doing it.
I didn't make multiple saves when I was TAS'ing this, which is something you should do
So, I went through this door or whatever and then I save stated
And that right door warps you outside
So I save stated there and then I redid the movement going back to the basement
and I save stated here except I accidentally went in the right door again
so I save stated over my only save
A completely unnecessary loop around the castle and I had to start over from CCM
Which was the last time I had saved on multiple save slots, so I'd wasted a bunch of TAS'ing time
I mean it was like maybe 10-20 minutes depending on how many tries everything took, but still dumb
This right here:
Only thing in the entire run I frame advanced
and I know multiple ways off the top of my head that this could be done faster,
But I don't know any ways, that that could look cooler and I wanted it to look cool as fuck
I think that looks sick
It is my proudest thing in the whole run
And it's the only thing I frame advanced the entire time I was making this video
And then the star is the same
same easy star
I did have a little bit of an additional challenge when I was making this because
I was using the controller I wasn't doing frame advance most of the time
And the TAS input thing isn't ...
It isn't the same as NRage which I've played on like a thousand, two thousand, however many Mario hours I've played
So the directional buttons were ...
or the directional joystick inputs weren't normal
So it caused for a lot of like, difficulties
So lethal lava land, always is a stage with fast stars
I would have gotten one maybe two there
But that stage just crashes your game.
I don't know if the stage continues to crash your game in the version that Kaze put out
but Kaze sent me this version early before release
so if you're playing the game and you're able to go to lethal lava Land
I wasn't able to
I don't know if that's fixed that might just be part of the troll
Unfortunately Kaze did not finish the game before he released it. Like I had hoped he would
So after stage 10, there's no new content, there's no like, new tricks that are funny
I'm hoping if he finds random motivation
He'll work on it and release like a updated version
because it is a very fun stream game
Especially if you had not seen anything yet
It was an incredibly fun stream. I just wish it could have lasted longer but ...
Not enough changes to the game to really play for a very long time
and I would like ...
When games like these come out, I really like when they're 100 percentable
because it's a fun stream challenge. So I regret that he didn't do that.
I mean, I can't regret it. It wasn't my decision, but I wish he had done that
It's like, Releasio sucks dick balls, but you can still 100% it. So that's fun
So this star is actually pretty hard
when you're at the surface of water your health drains
So you can't camp the surface of water or you just die immediately
it's like the same rate of speed that the surface of water normally heals you but just kills you instead
This stage was pretty much entirely the same except for this long jump here is, I'm pretty sure a one frame input
That was the hardest part of the stage, is getting that one frame
But I think everything else is basically the same
it was like ... it was really tedious to
Start over from the beginning over and over again
And then once I finally hit the one frame, to like mess up somewhere and not make the cycle
It's not as if this Bowser run is perfect or anything. I definitely have done better
But I still want it to be like, appropriately good enough
Like this ending isn't even that great
So I would say that this is mostly a segmented run over an actual TAS
But I did frame advance for that one star in Shifting Sand Land.
Otherwise, in my description of the original video I would have just said "This is segmented" as opposed to "This is TAS'd"
I didn't want to be a liar and I didn't want to give people the impression that I had done something that I didn't do
This door is extremely interesting because it's on a slope
so you can't land in front of the door to open it you have to run into it
and it was very interesting that I did that roll out and opened the door because I had no i-fucking-dea how I even did it
And it was, it was really cool
Also those BLJs were really good
The rest of the run is basically exactly the same as the original game
Except you have to long jump off of this thing because it falls
It would have been really cool to see a lot of changes at the end of the game
I wish that he had at least edited the Bowser stages more
like, the changes here in this Bowser stage are not different from changes that you have in the overall. Romhack
All in all
If you watched this,
I hope you didn't plan to play it
Because it's really fun blind
And at the same time, I really hope you didn't watch the highlight video from twitch because that had even more spoilers
All right, well this pretty much sums it up
I think in my original video I didn't upload the credits to the game
uh ... the credits crash
So I was like fuck it people have already seen the credits does it really matter if I show half the credits cause the credits crash
Don't usually do videos like these but I do feel that this particular upload warranted some commentary, some explanations
Because the comment section was pretty brutal. I guess like, a lot of people liked it
But also a lot of people thought it was really bad and unoptimized which to be fair
for a TAS is very unoptimized
But for what it was I think it was a very entertaining thing and I hope a lot of people liked it
Because I had a lot of fun making it
All right, well, see you guys
y-you suck poop
