Majoras Mask Glitchless Any% TAS in: [2:26:51.4 - TAS Timing], [2:22:43.4 - RTA Timing] by Eumeus14

Eumeus14 2025-02-23 | This is a Tool-Assisted Speedrun that aims to beat The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as fast as possible without making use of glitches. Tool-Assisted Speedruns are made on an emulator using a variety of tools such as slowdown, frame advance, memory viewing, lua scripting, and savestates in order to create a "perfect" speedrun.

Commentated version here: youtube.com/watch?v=Dl-5tvcWgQ8

TAS timing: 2:26:51.4
RTA timing: 2:22:43.437
Rerecords: 498,587

When it comes to determining what counts as a glitch, it's actually not black and white. The rules for glitchless speedruns were not decided by me or by any other one person; they are the result of years of discussion, discovery, and voting amongst the speedrun community. Over time, the rules have changed and will always be subject to change. Therefore, it's not impossible that some things in this run could later be banned, or conversely, other techniques could later be allowed that would have saved time in this run.

You can see a full list of banned techniques here: speedrun.com/mm?h=Any-glitchless&rules=category&x=jdzlw4r2-r8r7yrwn.5q83evr1

I started this TAS in July of 2023 and finished in February of 2025, working on it almost daily. Over a year and a half of work and nearly 500 thousand rerecords have culminated in this run and I am extremely pleased with the result. The level of optimization completely outclasses any TAS I've made prior. You can read detailed notes on this TAS here: tasvideos.org/9546S

While I was the only author of this TAS, I absolutely could not have done this without the help and support of several people.

Thanks to:
-Glitchless planning group DM people (Imbued, GlitchesAndStuff, Gigopler, Jess, Fox, Trevperson, Samplename) for helping write the route, coming up with various ideas, and answering questions when I needed help.
- Fox again for letting me reference his work in Pirate's Fortress
- Draconif, imbued, and gigopler for good critical feedback resulting in several improvements, as well as offering a variety of ideas.
- Adruckenmiller for providing a visual representation of polygons after goron graveyard
- Andzura for providing MM compatibility in collision viewer for PR void zones
- Kaztalek for being The Legendary Keeta and also for providing his wind script
- Ecksters for documenting item drop rates in a coherent chart.
- Bruce Shankle for helping me with encoding different video plugins cleanly in one high quality output file.

Alternate Route for Task 6

Eumeus14 2024-11-18 | Another route I had tested, ended up being slower. I liked it enough that I wanted to publish it anyway though.

Majoras Mask TAS Competition Task 6 2023/2024+

Eumeus14 2024-11-18 | The sixth task of the 2023/2024 TAS competition. 4 submissions this time, which makes sense as this was a slightly longer task than usual. Very close race between 2nd and 3rd place which I like to see!

Setup for instant Captain Keeta Aggro

Eumeus14 2024-11-16 | Target bridge and get in this corner. Two tap sidehops left then tap forward twice to walk for a frame each time. Not my cleanest setup, but it gets the job done.

Captain Keeta Instant Aggro

Eumeus14 2024-11-16 | I was literally just going through the route trying to work out what my equips would be and this happened.

Goron Spike Roll fast accel/slow decel (TAS)

Eumeus14 2024-09-21 | This is something I figured out by accident while working on the glitchless any% TAS. I've never seen anyone talk about this and I've never seen it documented anywhere. Since Goron is so rare in a TAS, I thought I should make an explanation video or this would probably be completely forgotten about and lost to time. In most cases, this would probably break even, but it could save a frame under the right circumstances. It would almost never lose time though.

Lethal Company - Easy Mineshaft Maneater Kill

Eumeus14 2024-08-23 | 1. Back it into the corner under the stairs and hit it twice. This is to make it's position consistent for the first charge.
2. Wait until you hear it breathe at you then jump onto the pipe by the railing. Don't get too close to the railing or it'll eat you through it. If you jump too early, it'll wander off and you'll need to wrangle it back.
3. It'll charge into the corner next to you on the top platform. You can then get 3 shovel hits.
4. It seems like it will always go back down the stairs after this. Wait until it does and repeat the process.

If you mess up the rhythm and he wanders off, it is recoverable, but takes some finesse.

With a little practice, this can be done pretty reliably.

It is possible for a minecart to spawn in front of the pipe. If that happens, this will still work, but it will be much more precise, as the maneater will be inclined to step up onto the minecart to reach you.

Lethal Company - First Maneater Encounter

Eumeus14 2024-08-18 | I wanted to see what would happen. It was worse than I expected.

Cross iSTT Poe Room with Mega Recoil Jump

Eumeus14 2024-07-31 | 7 years ago (how has it been that long) I had the task of trying to cross this room as human link with almost nothing in the 16 item low% TAS. I was unable to do so and we had to use the deku flower. Now, with the power of mega recoil jumps, this room has been defeated and I can finally sleep at night.

Mega Recoil Jump (Go the Distance)

Eumeus14 2024-06-09 | I accidentally came across this technique when working on my April Fool's TAS (Room Key Rebirth). I decided to look into it further and it turns out it's pretty strong.

This combines the principles of a mega jump (taking damage next to a ledge for a speed bust to do a really big jump) and a recoil jump (jumping off a platform and shielding damage to attain high negative speed through the air)

By facing away from where I want to go and performing an ESS twist right before I take damage, I can get a twisted megajump. Because bombs are so easy to detonate with neighboring explosions, I can just immediately pull another bomb and it will blow up. Shielding this gives me the recoil speed which is greater than mega jump speed.

Oceanside Spider House TAS Freerun (TAF)

Eumeus14 2024-06-02 | Been a minute since I've done one of these, and I needed a break from the glitchless any% TAS. (It's taking a few years off my life)

Majoras Mask TAS Competition Task 3 2023/2024+

Eumeus14 2024-05-19 | The third task of the 2023/2024 TAS competition. The next task will be taking place as part of the 2024 Multi-Game TAS Competition. Join the MGTC discord here: discord.gg/PbY433kFQN

Majoras Mask Beginner TAS Tutorial

Eumeus14 2024-05-14 | Hopefully my commentary isn't too awkard. I recorded the commentary in post, and decided after going over installation that I wasn't good at following a script. There may be a couple awkward silences as a result, but I'm not here to put on an award-winning performance.

Underwater HESS

Eumeus14 2024-03-05 | This works off the same principle as blast mask HESSes. You just have to interrupt the roll after the i-frames kick in. I had this idea while I was testing something and I saw the wolfos fall into the water.

Zora Cape Owl RTA in 2:40

Eumeus14 2024-03-05 | I never thought I would need to defend this run.

[TAS] Faster Maximum Height Chu Hovers

Eumeus14 2024-01-28 | The difference is slightly reduced because of the lag increase from using explosives at a faster rate, but this technically saves a frame on each hover.

Normally when performing a maximum height bombchu hover, you have to delay the backflip by a frame to allow Link to finish putting his shield away, otherwise you can't do a frame 1 bombchu pull. However, after blocking the explosion during a hover, there is 1 frame where you can pull the sword. Then there's 1 frame where you can backflip or sidehop without swinging the sword. This frame happens to be right on the frame that you normally couldn't perform a maximum height hover.

You can download the .bk2 file here drive.google.com/file/d/1vL8qLgONAWYp5B3e14a7pwVhFDNfCw36/view?usp=sharing

This was done on Bizhawk 1.13.2, so you'll need a compatible version to play back the movie file. The technique itself will of course work on any version of Bizhawk or of the game, though.

Majoras Mask TAS Competition Task 2 2023/2024+

Eumeus14 2024-01-24 | The second task of a new 2023/2024 TAS competition. Unfortunately, only 2 entries this time. I definitely would like to see more participation next time. Any skill level is welcome, it doesn't matter if it's your very first TAS.

I'm planning to put together a video to help people learn TAS techniques for this game. My hope is to make participating feel accessible to more people. I don't want anyone to feel like they can't participate because they don't know the game well enough.

Eumeus14 2023-09-16 | I was just messing around trying to come up with ideas for strategies in different areas, and I accidentally clipped here. I began to wonder if you could get the heart piece this way, and it turns out that you can. It's a pretty precise angle needed for this, though.
The gate needs to be queued to rise, which does not grant this much utility.

WFT 2 between Aliens waves TAS (Glitchless any%)

Eumeus14 2023-07-09 | Working on some segments for a glitchless any% TAS route. It was theorized that this would be possible. Not only was it possible, I still had time left to wait. It may be worth considering taking this further. I may getting the boss key as well in this trip, though it might be a stretch.

Cult of the Lamb: Final Boss Buffed/Bugged?

Eumeus14 2022-09-05 | I was having a ton of trouble with this fight, so I decided to look around if other people were also having a hard time. To my surprise, people were saying it was very easy. I then watched a bunch of videos of people fighting this boss and it was the same thing every time. It was considerably slower and less aggressive than I was experiencing (especially in the final phase when only 1 eye remains). This was played on the PC version on Hard difficulty with no mods of any sort. I didn't see anything about this in the patch notes either. Maybe I'm blind, but this was a massive spike in difficulty compared to the rest of the game.

Pikmin 2: The Curse of May Off Debt/MayT

Eumeus14 2022-06-05 | May of 2022 was dubbed "May off Debt" (Pay off Debt) and "MayT" (AT/All Treasures) But this month was incredibly cursed, featuring an unprecedented number of game crashes and general BS. I have attempted to compile the bulk of it here chronologically.

Pikmin 2 Pay Off Debt Speedrun in 1:41:49

Eumeus14 2022-01-31 | Pretty good run for my current skill level. Big things that could be improved are ScX and FC (as always). CoS and GK could probably be a bit faster, and enter SH was bad. No Lens also hurts a little bit.
