Jellopuff | [MKW TAS] New Ultra Shortcut on N64 Mario Raceway @Jellopuff_TAS | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
This TAS was created on Dolphin 5.0 with savestates, slowdown, frame advance, TAS code, and RAM watch (created by Swarejonge).
We're only nine days into 2020, and a new ultra shortcut has already been found. The development of this ultra has been a large collaborative effort between both TASers and non-TASers alike that started with an observation that a player named Jaden made on the invisible wall collision near the large mushroom on the track. As seen in this image: media.discordapp.net/attachments/214574342137315328/664692197106515988/OOB_Location.png?width=573&height=474 , the invisible wall that borders the brick wall extends significantly beyond where the visible wall ends. More importantly, Jaden noticed that the underside of the extension had no collision or ceiling, meaning that it was a direct out-of-bounds entrance that could potentially be entered using a wallclip. This was brought to our attention, and very soon after, Snoop managed to wallclip out-of-bounds and land on the seam. From here, we were then faced with the task of actually performing the ultra. As a proof of concept, I drove the lap backwards to reach the finish line without having to do some of the more difficult out-of-bounds movement later in the track. Looking at the checkpoint map (cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/578019896860999711/664741449031745547/JCJNT.png), cf noticed that the checkpoint we needed to reach to perform the glitch, CP 24, extended slightly farther than the checkpoint before it. Because of this, cf theorized that we could hit this extended region and then respawn to perform the glitch. To hit this region, I experimented with the bounces that were possible with the Spear using the edge of the track, and eventually came to the conclusion that we could reach the checkpoint by using a precise drift off the edge to gain air and then arcing around the finish line to barely reach the extended portion of CP 24. After enough brute force testing, I finally managed to hit the checkpoint, confirming the ultra's existence.
As stated earlier, this run was only a proof of concept, so there's not a great flap time in this video. However, Snoop managed to quickly make the glitch with the Flame Runner and on lap 2 instead of lap 1, giving her a sub 20 second flap. We still need to test whether Spear or Flame Runner is faster for the flap, but we're thinking that Spear has an edge here. Regardless though, this ultra, like the one on rSGB, is only applicable in a flap to save time, and it is likely the hardest technically humanly possible ultra in the game to date due to its wild setup and precise movement overall.
