Jellopuff | [MKW TAS] Platinum Runner TAS Strats @Jellopuff_TAS | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Done on Dolphin 5.0 with savestates, slowdown, frame advance, TAS code, and RAM watch (created by Swarejonge).
For those who don't know, the Platinum Runner (and Platinum Spear) is a mod created by Atlas that maxes out the bar in every stat (every stat has a value of 80). On top of this, turning while in a wheelie doesn't cause the vehicle's speed to drop, giving it the ability to make minor adjustments without losing speed.
This is a video concept I've wanted to do ever since Troy made his videos showcasing the mod. I've dabbled a little bit with making montages in the past, so I figured this would be a pretty fun idea for a video to take a small break from doing fully optimized TASes. The main problem wasn't even the compiling of clips; rather, it was getting a hold of the mod itself. Due to the fact that this vehicle is completely overpowered compared to the actual vehicles, this mod has been kept pretty exclusive in the MKW community. I'm honestly surprised that I managed to obtain the official version of the mod.
Overall, I feel I did a pretty decent job showing what this vehicle can do. It's fairly hindered by the combination of insane handling and drift, which makes most turns awkward, but it also benefits the vehicle in certain situations. Of course, having a speed stat of 80 also lets it do a lot more than other vehicles, and the offroad stat comes in handy at times as well.
Special thanks to Atlas for creating this mod and LuigiM for helping me with installing the mod.

Happy New Year everyone! 2023 has been an incredible year for Mario Kart Wii TASing, and to celebrate the coming of the new year, I decided to publicize four new flap BKTs! This video showcases the third of these flaps, one which is LONG overdue at this point: a new verified optimization to the Mushroom Gorge Unrestricted Flap! Finally a TAS that isnt a nightmare to write a description for! :D
Since this is such a short lap without too much variance in maneuvers, Ill be brief in this explanation. This flap uses the same lap 1 setup as the previous BKT (since we still have access to that, and it gives us access to the unreplicated giga-reject setup that we need for the flap). We then complete lap 2 with an emphasis on building up external velocity from gravity and converting it to lateral EV. We then enter lap 3 as high up as possible while still hitting the invisible wall of the finish line. By hitting the finish line, we convert our EV back into the vertical direction, allowing us to quickly ride back up the wall, hit the finish key checkpoint, and then giga-reject off the wall directly into the finish line. Pretty technically straightforward, but really heccin fast overall!

![[MKW TAS] New Ultra Shortcut on N64 Mario Raceway](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zng1Fyn64zY/hqdefault.jpg "[MKW TAS] New Ultra Shortcut on N64 Mario Raceway
This TAS was created on Dolphin 5.0 with savestates, slowdown, frame advance, TAS code, and RAM watch (created by Swarejonge).
Were 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: https://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 (https://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 ultras existence.
As stated earlier, this run was only a proof of concept, so theres 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 were 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.
