MKWii TAS Competition - 2022 Special Task VI:
On Koopa Cape, using* exactly THREE thunderclouds, with ANY character and vehicle, complete lap ONE as fast as possible.
- You MUST use the provided code which gives you TCs in time trials
- You may NOT prevent yourself from getting shocked by the TC**
- You may NOT perform the ultra shortcut
This was a solo task, so you could NOT collaborate with anyone else.
Clarifications:
*Using a thundercloud means using the item button to activate it and make it hover above you.
**Specifically, you may not use multiple thunderclouds at once to desync the ghost and/or cancel any previously used ones, and you may not be shrunk by the zappers while a thundercloud is active above you to prematurely unshrink.

![[MKWii TAF] Rainbow Road (Infinite Mushrooms)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ugyglcyKJC0/hqdefault.jpg "[MKWii TAF] Rainbow Road (Infinite Mushrooms)
Ive been saying for a while that I could probably make a good TAF if I put my mind to it, and I figured it was finally time to own up to those claims.
Music: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - A Tragic Decision (https://youtu.be/wLXyb_wJPc4)
The difficulty of making a good TAF on a regular track is the lack of new discoveries available, which usually makes for either very short or very uninteresting freeruns. I feel I overcame that challenge, as I not only have made a decent-length freerun, but also found a few things I dont believe have been done before. In researching things that HAVE been done in order to try to keep this as fresh as possible, I put together a playlist of all Rainbow Road TAFs to date, feel free to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbnjjnFG8yVSETx_J_Wl-cd0-QHDH50C_
Theres not much else I have to say, as this is really just something for you to enjoy rather than something to analyse, so I hope you enjoyed, and please let me know if youd be interested in more of these!

There are so many things happening in this TAS. Everything is more precise than it looks. Watch it again, youll probably spot something new. This has been in the works for almost 2 years, so it is a great delight to finally be able to share it with you!
All the way back in April 2022, I had a huge boost in views for my TAS of Hmans Deathrun (https://youtu.be/5BMZmOWrWcU) due to its inclusion in one of @TWD98s Impossible CTs videos (https://youtu.be/b_e_w2Cjj0A). Because of this, I thought TASing another Impossible CT could cater to some of that audience. So, I picked the very first track shown in the 2022 run of episodes (https://youtu.be/3mfLY12CrbM).
After a LOT of strat testing, I made a prelim 1:41.957, before stopping to go and work on the two rSGB 3laps with Zip Zip (https://youtu.be/trmk5u-ssyY) and Shooting Star (https://youtu.be/G_4trkj7ACo). I came back to it shortly after, but then started work on other things and eventually lost interest.
If youve watched Special Task III from TAS Comp 2022 (https://youtu.be/Y1-24gNMmrY), you probably recognise the fact that it was done on the secret area of Grassland Mountain. The reason I came up with the idea for that task is because I had been TASing the track at the time, found the secret area, and thought it would make a great task.
See, I noticed a hole in one of the mountains (which is actually the end point of the task), so used noclip (https://noclip.website) to see what was out there, and discovered several parts of the track outside the skybox. I spent quite a while driving around the track to try to find a cannon that would take you there, but eventually I resorted to using Lorenzis KMP Editor to find it. As it turns out, it was in the starting area and I just hadnt searched hard enough.
After the task, I had interest in the track again, but with TAS comp back, and my time much more limited, I didnt continue and eventually forgot. I would occasionally remember and tell myself I would get around to it but never did. That is, until this past week, when I finally completed lap 2, discovering a few new strategies as well (I didnt redo lap 1 because it had taken me so long to get this far, I didnt want to go through it all again).

This is a tool-assisted speedrun (TAS). Played on SwareJonges Dolphin 5.0 LUA Core v3.5.2. Tools used: slow-down, savestates, frame advance, TAS input, TAS code, and RAM watch (info display).
TAS BKT Cut: -1.701
Previous BKT (2:12.843 by myself and Lamejoin): https://youtu.be/aA66-ygfMHw
Current RTA BKT (2:15.732 by Victor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZVSZf6T78s
Lamejoins (https://www.youtube.com/user/l4m3join01) inputs were used up to 0:35, where I then branched off. The inputs from the 2:12 were used up to the beginning of lap 2, where you can then see the ghost in comparison.
Music: Chrono Trigger - Kingdom Trial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGKZfKEpKk0)
Ive been working on this on and off since July. I had 4 main bursts of motivation that I used to complete this TAS. The first one was the end of July, that brought me to the middle of lap 2. The second one was the beginning of September, which brought me near the end of lap 2. The third one was the middle of October, which brought me to the middle of lap 3. The fourth one was the middle of November, which brought me to the end of lap 3.
About the category:
Since theres still no unanimous decision among the TAS community regarding whether the MT turnskip should fall in no ultra or no glitch, Ive named this video no glitch, no turnskip to eliminate any ambiguity.
About the timecut:
The lap 1 of the 2:12 was made in about 6-8 hours, whereas the rest was made in less than an hour combined. The lap 1 time was also significantly faster than lap 2/3, and for MT, you get a huge amount of boost leading into the lap, so lap 2/3 should be significantly faster than lap 1. This TAS corrects the inconsistent laps from the previous TAS and also improves upon the strats further.
Flaws corrected from previous TAS:
Lap 2 - All turns are taken better. The first log and wiggler section use the appropriate strats (not performed as best as they could be though). The U turn is no longer missing the wifi glitch strat (coined from an incorrect assumption that you can only get a boost from the zipper from the base of it in wifi rooms). The last ramp no longer has a drift lowtrick, and now has the proper double trick.
Lap 3 - Same improvements as in lap 2, except... The net and last ramp section is done correctly, as I end on the left side instead of the right. The correct type of walltrick is done as well.
New strats compared to previous lap 1:
Lap 2 - The turn after the wiggler section and second log feature new movement, which is much faster than what is done on lap 1. The wifi glitch now has a full trick boost (100f) rather than a normal zipper boost (50f), and so I no longer charge a miniturbo as its faster to maintain wheelie speed. The net section now features trick spam on the side of the net instead of 3 slow tricks off of the top face. The double trick at the end is better than the one performed on lap 1 (I get the full forward speed boost without sacrificing exit angle - on lap 1 I had to sacrifice speed for approach angle into the SC lap 2).
Lap 3 - Same strats as in lap 2, except... the turn after the wiggler section is done even better, the second log is done slightly worse due to QM for the U turn, and the U turn features yet another new strat, with a way less precise and much faster way of getting a fast low zipper trick, which is combined with a hop and weird zipper boost physics to get extra tight turning for an early wheelie.
Other notes:
- The turn after the cannon lap 2 looks like I lost significant time but thats just because the ghost is offscreened to the side (which looks like offscreening behind, which would mean significant timesave) and then returns back to being right behind.
- The end of lap 3 features a wheelie-jammed up-walltrick. I think this is the first TAS to ever feature a walltrick using an up trick, since up tricks are usually the one type of trick you dont want used (they shoot you up rather than down). This was faster than a jammed RSTA-walltrick (like in the glitch 3lap TAS) or a hop-jammed spin-STA-walltrick (like in the glitch flap TAS) in my testing. Do note, these names have to be this specific because there are so many ways you can approach this last trick that you need to be able to tell the difference.
Special thanks:
Ejay, Zappg, Burger, Canibal, Hibyehello, TASPlasma, Jellopuff, Wade, Vabold, and many others for giving me motivation and feedback over the past 4 months while I was working on this. This is likely one of my last major solo projects on a Nintendo category so Im glad to have this over and done with.

Lap 1 TAS BKS Cut: +1.835 (new shroomstrat)

Yes you just watched what you think you watched. Big shortcut is possible with 1 mushroom! Huge thanks to NOKKY for revolutionising this section by finding that you can use a high trick on the first hay stack, combined with tricks on the top of the second and third hay stacks to make it back on the track. I then realised the RTA 2 shroom shortcut setup could be used to make the first hay stack reachable in 0 mushrooms, and also found that you could use the pole (which for some reason is trickable) to land from the third hay stack trick boost earlier and also get more boost afterwards.
This is branched off of Marths (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XDwaa_GoOA) old 3 shroom lap (linked in previous BKS), and due to NOKKYs (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoEpHRA-1qb3Rjr2iABblEg) new 1 shroom big SC strat (found in January https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/356185849337085953/800979472039804956/Dolphin_Emulator_2021.01.19 15.40.35.03_Trim.mp4), the second lap would have an extra shroom to use (which would likely be the 1 shroom big SC again, but maybe not).
