[TAS] Super Mario 64 DS in 7:31.76 (No Tunneling/3 Stars) Migu 2024-12-01 | This is a TAS of the fastest completion of the game without the Tunneling glitch. Tunneling makes 0 star possible, that run is here youtube.com/watch?v=AKUUPc6YeGAThis is a 4 second improvement over youtube.com/watch?v=RSzay0NHVBgThere are minor timesaves throughout the run found mostly by Rupa and TASed by Rupa and me, most significantly in Goomboss and Endless Stairs Skip.

[TAS] Super Mario 64 DS in 5:37.23 by Migu, Rupa, Bobbybob, Sharkey91, Really_Tall, and Adeal Migu 2024-08-08 | Two months ago, I along with @Sharkey91 @Really_Tall @bobbybobsm64ds @adealtas and @Keiki-cv2im finished a 0 Star TAS which you can watch here: youtu.be/usqxR6ZmTUkAfter that, Rupa and I saved off 5 seconds, mostly due to an idea by Bobbybob to make 1 star door skip 2 seconds faster both times! Read more here: tasvideos.org/9217SRerecords: 439841 (only 5650 more since the previous TAS)
[TAS] Super Mario 64 DS in 7:35.99 (No Tunneling/3 stars) Migu 2023-05-19 | This TAS was created in collaboration with:Sharkey @Sharkey91 Really_Tall @Really_Tall Adeal @adealtas Bobbybob @bobbybobsm64ds This TAS aims to beat the game without using the Tunneling glitch (which makes it possible to beat the game with 0 stars.) We are working on a run which uses this glitch as well. Here is the current (unoptimized) 0 star run: youtube.com/watch?v=KwLCxGTTk5M36.93 seconds have been saved over the previous run. The biggest timesave is a faster method of 50 star door skip and endless stairs skip (found by J_Duude, Really_Tall, and Bobbybob). We use a new route for collecting the 3 required stars as well, completely skipping LLL. There are smaller improvements in almost every section.TASing credits:Moat skip: Adeal, Migu, SharkeyBasement: Sharkey, Really_TallSSL 2+3: Migu, Really_Tall, SharkeySSL 1: Sharkey, Migu8 star door skip: SharkeyGoomboss: Sharkey, Bobbybob, Really_Tall, MiguEndless Stairs Skip: Sharkey, Bobbybob, MiguBITS: Migu, Adeal, Really_TallBowser fight: Migu, Really_TallAdditionally, Rupa found a faster strat in BITS which is not included in this video.

SM64DS TAS - Scale the Mountain (Yoshi w/ M cap) 16.13 Migu 2022-09-26 | This is from the current 150 star WIP, which is now 26 stars in, at the end of the Yoshi TTM segment! Yoshi collects all of the stars except for Secrets, which will be gotten later as Mario since ? blocks aren't unlocked yet. Here is the route: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQa-iasZF9joYZM4APcUnXFvmbbhnt_dfDOHBBS-eMkweCSTXiPHhQSE37Yqs2mB5h72Wyvr5P1fvro/pubhtmlThis TAS is 1.07 seconds faster than the last public TAS of this star (youtube.com/watch?v=ATxmVEo7-io) if you ignore the cap animation (which takes 1.44 seconds). This would be 14.69 as Mario. The timesave comes from multiple improvements, but the biggest difference is completely different ending movement (which Really_Tall thought of).
Partners in Time - Gritzy Desert Skip (US 1.0) Migu 2022-08-02 | SolidifiedGaming came up with this idea in 2018, but we only managed to do the full strat recently.This uses a Luigi warp (which is exclusive to US 1.0 version) to teleport Luigi into the stump in the SW room. If you do this while the babies are in another room, the babies will be sent to a glitched top screen that persists when the adults change rooms. If you switch to the babies in this state, they'll go back to the place they were before. Instead, if you save and reload, the babies will properly be on the top screen.So the full strat is:1. Place the babies near the stump for later2. Set a position in the follow path that will correspond to the stump3. Without overwriting the follow path, use the cannon to get the adults to the cactus across the spike pit, and ledge clip onto it4. Take the babies to a different room5. Use the cactus ledge to warp Luigi into the stump6. Use ball to warp Luigi back to Mario, then go to the pipe room7. Save and reload8. Leaving the top screen triggers the stair-lowering cutscene
SM64DS TAS - Marios Super Wall Kick (Mario) 9.14 Migu 2022-07-20 | Saved 20 frames over this by just long jumping into the star.
OoT - Blank B w/ Epona, gossip stone text, and water Migu 2022-07-11 | It would be nice to do this without raised water.
OoT - Sell masks without losing them w/ blue potion RBA Migu 2022-06-12 | Found by omgatree in 2019. This is a faster method of doing the mask quest for low pause 100%.When you sell a mask, the game checks the child trade slot and tries to delete whatever is there from your c-buttons. Normally this is the mask, but we RBA blue potion to put bugs in the child trade slot, so the game tries to delete bugs from your c-buttons. We don't have bugs equipped so nothing happens.In order to get the next mask equipped without manually equipping it, you have to dupe over the mask. When you buy a mask, the game checks the child trade slot and if the item there (bugs in this case) is also on a c-button, that c-button will be replaced with the new mask.
SM64DS TAS - Switch Star of Cool, Cool Mountain (Mario) 15.36 Migu 2022-04-14 | Saved 32 frames over youtube.com/watch?v=FO_1hiGDKGM
SM64DS TAS - Switch Star of Cool Cool Mountain Yoshi vs. Mario Migu 2022-04-02 | Wow, this one's close. Thanks to Adeal for TASing the flutter to the star cancel as Yoshi, and thanks to Really_Tall for the shell route idea as Mario.Mario: 15.90 (to star dance)Yoshi: 20.97 (to fadeout)
SM64DS TAS - CCM 100 Coins + Big Penguin Race (Yoshi) 1:18.34 Migu 2022-03-30 | I TASed this star to see how much time Yoshi saves over Mario. The animation overlap at the end (found by Sharkey91) makes Yoshi faster, but we need to know how much Yoshi actually saves in order to determine if Mario or Yoshi is faster for the stage as a whole. The race here is not very optimized, I didn't try to manipulate the penguin's speed and it's not really known how much that is possible at all.
SM64DS TAS - Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins 43.14 (Mario) Migu 2022-02-27 | This improves bobbybob's TAS of this star (youtube.com/watch?v=-5L7C3TSrLg) by 7 seconds! The timesave comes mostly from more optimal shell hyperspeed movement. This confirms that the shell hyperspeed strat is faster than the traditional strat that requires Yoshi. It remains to be seen if CCM as a whole is faster as Yoshi or Mario in the 150 star route, since Yoshi saves time on a few others stars, and Yoshi can still do this strat by using Mario cap.
SM64DS TAS - Rematch with Koopa the Quick + 100 coins + Wigglers Red Coins in 1:50.60 Migu 2021-09-07 | Faster than the recent 150 star WIP by 101 frames thanks to better coin RNG and other small improvements.+9f waiting on star select for RNG-8f landing on the cave plank, by skipping the punch to collect the 4th blue-2f on the plank, by saving 2 Y run before+8f charging Y run by the last goomba longer+2f waiting before the second pipe-102f better coin RNG and movement to cave-4f between the 3rd and 5th red-4f between the 6th and 8th red
THI 1+2+6 first attempt Migu 2021-08-29 | Originally uploaded 2020/7/26This was my first TAS of this star combo to see if it was fast enough for 150. We eventually improved this by 8 seconds, which you can watch here: youtu.be/P5QEAyyfw0w?t=766
THI 1+2+6, 7 vs. 1+7, 2+6 Migu 2021-08-29 | Originally uploaded 2020/7/29In the 150 star TAS, after cancelling the piranha star, we set up cancelling The Tip Top of Huge Island star into Wiggler's loading zone (1+2+6), and later do the switch star by itself (7). One other option was to instead get the switch star after cancelling the piranha star (1+7), and do 2+6 from the start of the level. Even though this means replacing a big painting entry with a small painting entry, it's slower overall by 4 seconds. Check out that cool strat to enter the cave with a long jump by Really_Tall though.
SM64DS TAS - Pluck the Piranha Flower + The Tip Top of Huge Island Migu 2021-08-29 | Originally uploaded 2020/8/7This is a route test for an 80 star TAS. Adding on Wiggler to this star combo, like in 150, takes about 50 seconds so it's too slow for 80 star. This isn't completely optimized - over half a second was later saved on the piranhas section.
SM64DS TAS - Blast to the Stone Pillar 13.35 (Yoshi w/ M cap) (Alternate strat) Migu 2021-08-29 | Originally uploaded 2020/10/29This was the strat I TASed for this star before Sharkey had the idea to ride the shell all the way to the far side of the star platform, improving the time to 12.82. Check that out here: youtu.be/P5QEAyyfw0w?t=714
Superstar Saga TAS - Glitch segments made more visible Migu 2021-06-16 | Watch the TAS: youtube.com/watch?v=L0KJ6qDAq3YI removed more of the pixel vomit by pausing often to clear it. There are still a lot of times it's not that easily removed. Most of these times are during high jumps, when you can't pause. Also while changing action commands, you can pause to clear it, but then a later action command will activate it again pretty soon after. So I usually only paused once while changing commands - there's no glitched graphics between commands 122 and 160, so I paused after getting to 122.I'm also going to make another video going into detail about these glitches, mostly the teleports.
SM64DS - Reverse 1 star door skip (wall tunnel) Migu 2021-04-08 | You actually can't open the 1 star door from the back if you have 0 stars, so this will save a good amount of time for the 0 star TAS.Thanks to Josh65536 for noticing this spot would work and helping a little with math.This is the first ever tunnel through non-axis-aligned walls. It's mechanically the same as axis-aligned walls but the math is more complicated.

Beanbean castle little cutscene skip comparison Migu 2021-02-16 | Watch the new TAS! youtube.com/watch?v=9bkjzXqvWeACutscene skip (slower) on the left, strat used in the actual TAS on the right. The actual cutscene skip happens at 0:55. Sadly the follow path just takes too long to set up, as a pretty precise position is needed. We actually improved the no-cutscene-skip strat by an additional second over this clip by removing the cutscene where Mario is stuck after leaving the castle. But the cutscene skip was already slower by a second.
SM64DS - Y Run Explanation/Tutorial Migu 2021-01-10 | This is mainly focused on TAS applications but everyone can probably learn something.0:00 Basics2:56 Timer Explanation4:53 How Y run is lost6:57 When Y run is useful11:22 0 speed and quick turning15:47 Y run conservation methods
SM64DS TAS - Navigating the Toxic Maze (Yoshi w/ Luigi cap) 20.40 Migu 2020-06-21 | There's probably better movement in the 2nd room
SM64DS TAS - Slip Slidin Away (Yoshi) 25.64 + star cancel comparison Migu 2020-06-19 | I don't think there was much question about whether it was faster to cancel this star. But it's nice to see :)At 0:04 I used a glitch to gain control in the cabin loading zone by eating a coin. It doesn't save any time (I actually thought it would lose time to lick, but I found one frame where licking tied just walking in, so I could show this off).
SM64DS TAS - Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins 47.88 Migu 2020-06-16 | My first TAS of this game 3 years ago was this star, and I've improved a lot since then. I got 1:12 before, this is 25 seconds faster. I was not expecting it to go this low, I thought sub 50 would be a lot harder (IL WR is 58).
Dream Team: Ball Hop and Slingsniper strats w/ walk through walls Migu 2020-04-07 | Making this public now that we're getting ball hop in the fastest route for this: youtube.com/watch?v=N30tm8IFg_k
SM64DS TAS Tutorial - Glitchy Long Jumps Migu 2020-03-24 | A bit rambly, but hopefully should explain everything well.
SM64DS TAS - Big Boo Battle secret stars (Luigi) Migu 2020-01-25 | Very improvable, especially Y run management, it would save 22 frames to have an extra unit of Y run before the long jumps to the painting star.
SM64DS TAS - Blast Away the Wall (Mario) 20.79 (Cannon clip) Migu 2019-11-24 | Everything after the cannon is copied from Really_Tall.
Enter TSuTM as Yoshi w/ pause clip 0xB Migu 2019-11-17 | Not as easy as it probably seems. This glitch requires your y position to be in a range of values the size of 1/3 of the max falling speed. So the y position you rollout from is important. In particular the flat part of the platform doesn’t work and neither does the ledge on the left side. That’s why I had to rollout from the slope.Pause clipping is a new glitch found by youtube.com/user/jraugutt. It only works in some levels, where the camera zooms out when you pause. This zooming out unloads objects that are off the camera, so the brick doesn’t exist for one frame.
Dream Team - Robo Drilldigger Skip (Wakeport route) Migu 2019-10-25 | This is a multi-step skip found primarily by lordmagecar. Before we needed to beat Drilldigger in Dreamy Dozing Sands because that triggers the bridge between Blimport and Mushrise to appear. In short, this is a method to get WtW (walk through walls) on both bros to cross the gap with no bridge while also having WtA (walk through air) to do early Mount Pajamaja. Along the way we get the luiginary abilities normally gotten in Dreamy Dozing Sands, so that entire dream world can be skipped. Also we can collect all of the attack pieces for Bye Bye Cannon.Not the greatest quality/production, but it should be good enough. I also explained some of the most important information.0:00 Mushrise WtA1:18 Mushrise WtO1:57 Heading to Wakeport (need WtO to enter)3:06 Collecting 7 attack pieces with WtA that can't be collected with WtW (or remove (WtO)4:54 NOTE: If you talk to the Hoo while on the ground, it will softlock.

SM64DS - Star Cancel with SL igloo entrance Migu 2019-08-16 | Sharkey found that you can gain control while taking these types of loading zones by eating a coin. Previously, eating a 100-coin star was thought to be necessary. Now we can cancel this star quickly, as well as maybe Chill with the Bully and Yoshi's Ice Sculpture.
SM64DS TAS - BoB 100 coins + Find the 8 red coins (Yoshi) 1:30.27 Migu 2019-07-31 | Watch a much improved version: youtube.com/watch?v=ObWKRU-bVdY
SM64DS TAS - Yoshis Ice Sculpture 15.76 Migu 2019-07-14 | My first TAS of this game that I'm happy with. Note that in a full run you'd get the power flower text box but I didn't get it here.
PiT - Gritzy Desert Risk Badge w/o baby spin Migu 2019-06-16 | This uses a Luigi warp to get the risk badge in Gritzy Desert earlier than intended. The actual glitch happens in the last 10 seconds of the video. This will be used in an all bosses TAS and should save 1 minute or so on Shrooboid Brat.Luigi warps work by warping to a preset position on the "follow path" which is a list of the 128 most recent positions Mario has walked to. I set up this position in the list in the west room of the desert since it's the only other room whose z-coordinate goes high enough. Then I have to be careful to not overwrite this value while going over to the cactus to do the warp. I decided to hit the statue blocks to show how this would be done in a full-game run.
Whiplash Rapids 100% part 2 3:48.03 Migu 2019-03-30 | The second run-through of this level in the all treasures and challenges route, which as of a recent route change gets the piranha challenge, the time challenge, and the 4th treasure. This is very improvable. My PB did this segment about 3 minutes slower and didn't get the 4th treasure.
BIS Remake: Mushroom Socks Early Migu 2019-03-03 | Found by Isaq (youtube.com/user/TheMasterHojo)Once you get in front of the fire, you need to hold up and press A 1 frame later.
BIS Remake: Muscle Wear Early Migu 2019-03-03 | Found by Really_Tall. You have to be slightly inside the right house, then jump upwards and switch to left during the jump. If done correctly you will enter the side loading zone, so you can get Muscle Wear as soon as the bros reach toad town. At the end, you can save a few seconds by doing the same glitch to reach the bottom loading zone from the walkway.
BIS Remake: Fast forward storage in Blubble Lake Migu 2019-03-03 | Found by Really_Tall. To do this you first need the stair glitch (youtu.be/11mZthZ6Wr4). Then just read the sign while facing left stacked, which will automatically unstack into the loading zone.
BIS Remake: Toad Town stair glitch & Clinic fast forward storage Migu 2019-03-02 | Found by Really_Tall/SolidifiedGaming.First I get "stair glitch" by unstacking on the stairs in toad town (also works with spinning). This means that whenever the bros unstack they are sent backwards a couple steps. This effect persists through loading zones and you even keep it if you go inside bowser. The only ways to lose it are reloading a save or walking normally on stairs.Next, this can be used to enter the loading zone out of the clinic during a cutscene where the intern tells you to rescue birdley before you leave. This lets you keep the fast forward button in normal gameplay. Anything that normally can be fast-forwarded removes the glitch.
BIS Remake: Chakron Early Migu 2019-03-02 | Found by Really_Tall. Just hold up-right after the battle. You can do this as soon as you get access to the overworld as Mario & Luigi (after beating bowser in toad town) but the air pipes need to be open to get snack basket and actually get Chakron's star cure. So for now this just skips the climb up.
BIS Remake: Tunnel skip Migu 2019-01-16 | This was found by SolidifiedGaming.Already more broken than the original :)
Cactus McCoy 2 - All Treasures and Challenges in 1:47:19 (PB) Migu 2018-11-25 | This run had a few really good sections and a few really bad sections. I was expecting 1:47/1:46 to be my final goal but I'll go for 1:45 at least now.
