This video shows Tool-Assisted Speedruns of Tiny Huge Mario 64. After playing around with this hack again awhile ago, I found some interesting strategies for collecting stars in several courses, which inspired me to make these Tool-Assisted Speedruns of them.
Anyway, not much else to say until after you watch the video. So the rest of that is going in the pinned comment.
And now that the premiere is over, here is a lot more specific info. Warning: It's a lot. Don't read this unless you like having things poorly over-explained to you.

Tiny Huge Mario 64 is a Super Mario 64 ROM Hack by Kaze Emanuar:
- Release Video & Download: youtube.com/watch?v=l83o48LGzUg
- Kaze Emanuar's Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCuvSqzfO_LV_QzHdmEj84SQ
Tiny Huge Mario 64 has 7 sizes for Mario, excluding his default vanilla size. This is the largest size the ROM can be set to. This size is 8x his original size. This means all of the values for his movements are multiplied by 8. The only thing Kaze changed was Mario's gravity (terminal vertical velocity) which was slowed down to reduce fall damage. Finally, Mario's hitbox isn't the same size as his default. It was extended horizontally, I'm guessing by 8x his original hitbox's radius, but vertically his hitbox appears to be the same size.

This run is unbeatable. Anyone who claims to beat this run or uploads an improvement is a liar and a FRAUD. Youll be hearing from my lawyers buddy!
In Super Mario 64, its possible to die immediately when entering Lethal Lava Land by jumping into the painting just before Marios HP Value decrements to 255. Thats why I titled the video with (Low HP). The reason I went for an HP Value of 256 is because it is the lowest value possible that is obtainable which doesnt kill Mario. Due to how HP works, the health bar in the HUD is not a direct representation of how much health Mario really has. If I were to touch lava with a value above 256 (in increments of 10), it would require an extra frame (or several more) before activating the Bowser Death Screen transition. So, in order to load that faster, a lower HP value was required. See Pannenkoeks video on HP for more information. Pretty cool stuff!
Pannenkoeks HP Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeGNpeFOOCY
You might not notice it but I actually use some wonky sign hitboxes in order to touch the lava as fast as I could. I have no idea how it works, but it ended up saving 4 frames from my first initial run.
Entering courses with No HP is possible, but not all of them as far as I know. I opted not to do any No HP runs because theyre all similar. Enter the course, then die immediately. Thats boring and lame. These extra thrilling action-packed 2 seconds are way more exciting. I might make more death speedruns in other courses for the meme lol.

The action-packed sequel has arrived!
Here Im just TASing Super Mario 64 with the exact same goal as before. Initiate the Bowser Death Screen transition as fast as possible, but this time with Full HP. I decided to show the HP Value (in Decimal Form) so you would know its at the maximum value obtainable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(If youre already familiar with SM64 TASing, you dont need to read this lol.)
Now, heres a breakdown of the run. First I jump kick the sign in order to build a decent amount of negative speed, and then walk backwards to the corner of the platform. This corner of the platform happens to have a Misalignment in it. A Misalignment is a 1x1 Unit Wide area of space that Mario can fit into. This allows Mario to get near the platform a bit closer than normal.
Just before falling off the edge of the platform, I punch to reduce some speed, dive within the misalignment, get burned by the lava, and then Mario begins his action and animation of lava boosting. Since Mario is currently within the misalignment, Marios horizontal position is much closer to the floor hitbox of the platform. This makes it much easier to utilize the game mechanic of Mario vertically snapping to the nearest floor by him. Since Mario is in a misalignment, he can vertically snap up onto floors that are no more than 78 units higher than his vertical position. Thats exactly what occurs here.
Once Mario lands, I perform an Eru Drop instantly. An Eru Drop is a trick that exploits Marios movement when tilting the joystick as little as possible. During this joystick movement, Marios speed fluctuates between positive and negative values. Within the first couple of frames of this movement, his total net gain of speed actually turns out to be negative, meaning he will move backwards. Since Marios positioned near the edge of the platform, the Eru Drop can be performed, allowing him to move backwards off of the platform, allowing him to fall into the lava again.
Eru Drop (found by AruaErueru): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl1qDika4Bk
For entertainment value, I jumped after the second lava boost. Landing in the lava immediately again would not have initiated the Bowser Death Screen transition any earlier due to the limited decrement speed of Marios HP. If I had landed a frame earlier after the final lava boost (which was possible), Mario would perform a standing death action & animation, which would initiate the death screen transition several frames slower.
If you didnt understand any of that, check out Pannenkoeks videos explaining this games geometry, and game mechanics here!

![Yoshis Island - All Coins in 1-1 [TAS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kc-wQzo_D34/mqdefault.jpg "Yoshis Island - All Coins in 1-1 [TAS]
In SNES Yoshis Island, Level 1-1 (Make Eggs, Throw Eggs), I collect All 74 Coins in 45583 Seconds.
Ive been wanting to TAS Yoshis Island again for a long time. Severely underrated game. So I made this.
This All Coins category was something I thought would be fun, but I dont think its a real thing done by the Yoshis Island Speedrunning community. There are different types of coins that make this category kinda stupid lol. Item Balloon Coins will respawn if you re-enter a room with them. Yellow Eggs produce coins if they hit an enemy or cloud, making it hard to keep track of how many coins are in a level. Enemies and Items at the Goal will turn into coins if Yoshi finishes the level. And if Yoshi has All 30 Stars, Winged Clouds & other enemies will drop coins instead of stars.
To make this All Coins category work, I decided to collect every respawn-able coin only once. I ignored coins that would be substituted for stars. Finally, I dont count coins from Yellow Eggs, or coins produced at the Goal when a level is finished. If I can count right, there should be 74 Coins in this level.
I just decided to merge this category with 100% since Red Coins are a part of it as well. Maybe next time Ill do an All Coins category by itself.
I have a tiny Yoshis Island ROM Hack TAS Im also working on. Hopefully I can finish it before the end of the year.
Enjoy!

End Frame: 6619 (1st Frame Yoshi throws Baby Mario at Goal)

I just recently made this freerun in order to test out some SM64 texture packs. It lags in some certain areas. I dont know if that has anything to do with the texture packs, or my graphics card, or any other factor. Theres even a tiny white bar on the side too. Must be a resolution error. Sometimes the sprites and the HUD glitch out, and theres so many settings to work with using Rices Video Plugin.
This freerun was nothing special. I just made stuff, and went along with what I did, if that makes any sense. There was no plan to do this or that, except the sideblj at the end.
Edit (4/2/2020): Video no longer exists.
Special thanks to Tomatobird8 for his Hi-Res Textures tutorial, otherwise I wouldnt have been able to figure it out.
