Ejay B | [MKWii TAS] GBA Bowser Castle 3 Flap (Glitch) - 35.743 @EjayB | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 4 hours ago
Watch in 4K Ultra HD, 60fps (stay until the end of the video for a TAF! It gets wacky at 1:15)
YouTube has copyrighted the audio in this video, hence why it cuts in and out at many points. My immense apologies for this, but I cannot do anything about it. Hope you understand.
This is a Tool-Assisted Speedrun (TAS) created to show the theoretical limits of this course, and isn't designed to compete with real-time runs. Done on various versions of Dolphin 5.0 with slowdown, savestates, frame advance, TAS input, TAS code, RAM watch (info display), DolphinMemoryEngine, LUA scripts, text files, input reader/writer, and TASToolKit.
TAS BKT Cut - [N/A]
Flap BKT without new Ultra Shortcut by Monster and Akari - 35.936
(youtube.com/watch?v=Ym3F0VX6zd8)
The goal of this TAS was to complete a single lap as fast as possible (fast lap is abbreviated in the title to 'Flap').
The old glitch flap category is now No Ultra Shortcut because the new glitch category is now an actual ultra shortcut, so this run cannot be compared with it.
There is a FAQ in the pinned comment in the comment section which may answer some questions you have about the video.
You are watching a run that has been in WIP for over 280 days, and has taken over 500 combined hours of work between 16 different people. This is Mario Kart Wii's 18th ultra shortcut, the third in 2020.
It was amazing to finally complete this project, and I'm proud that everyone persisted and worked on it together to achieve the end goal. This ultra shortcut is very unique, the least efficient one in the game, only saving around 0.1 - yet it still classifies as one due to it skipping a key checkpoint. The first KCP skip amazes me even as I'm uploading the video because we were able to go so far to the left, considering that we were clipping blocks that were parallel to the track. The ending shortcut is super smooth, and ended up looking really cool, and saving more time than I think any of us expected.
There are only a few places where this TAS can potentially be improved:
- The first shortcut (more testing needs to be done). It's finicky to get, but ~0.020 could possibly be cut from it.
- The shroomless offroad cut (can go down another ~0.005 with a lower bounce over the hole, which is QM).
- The final turn, where the thwomp is partially in the way. By beginning the flap at the right time, it will not longer block us, saving around a frame.
To find out what we've actually been doing for the past nine months, read the following document on the entire history of this ultra shortcut:
docs.google.com/document/d/11HeJUdT7YqdnHbxovsPAQqp6zbA8C8SNWFUsbWb7ZPo/edit?usp=sharing
It is HIGHLY recommended that you read the above document, we spent a few weeks writing it as a highly detailed extension to the description. It includes an explanation on the history of the ultra shortcut itself, a timeline of how the run was made, the authors' comments, key quotes from the early stages of the run, key insights to the tricks done in the final run, and much more.
The speedometer labelled as "km/h" on the bottom left is normal vehicle speed (most commonly used speedometer), and the speedometer labelled as "SPEED" in the bottom right is a much more accurate speed reading (The XYZ speed) created by using the equation:
(((Xpos current frame - Xpos previous frame)^2) + ((Ypos current frame - Ypos previous frame)^2) + ((Zpos current frame - Zpos previous frame)^2))^0.5

I used savestates and slowdown
YESSS FINALLY GOT UNDER 1 MINUTE!!
Things that could be improved:
-I couldve used Blahpys strat at the yellow ramps
-The wheelie before 3rd shroom couldve been better
-TAS-mini turbos
-Possibly better use of the first shroom?")

Watch in 4K Ultra HD, 60fps!
This is a tool-assisted speedrun (TAS). This time will not count on any real rankings. Created on Dolphin 5.0 with a real Wiichuk, TAS input, Lua scripts, TASToolkit, CSV files, slowdown, savestates, frame advance, and RAM watch.
TAS BKT Cut: 1:26.932
Previous BKT by Monster, Marth, and Rocky: 2:09.877
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdgi1eJlF44)
*Note that the above run will now be placed into the No Glitch category.
After over 3 years since the Koopa Cape ultra was discovered, we finally have an optimised 3lap TAS! A very tedious category to perfect, hence why it took over 1 year to get this done (thank you Malleo for being the driving force).
The turnaround is by far the most finicky part to TAS. Tough QM manipulation is required to get a hop out of the ground which ejects you high, and on top of this, the hop has to be done in a certain spot to get the good wall bounce. Also note that the HWG entry we get on lap 1 - where we arent stopped to a halt completely by the wall - doesnt seem to be possible on lap 2/3.
As you may have noticed, lap 2 has the exact same inputs as lap 3 (besides the last wheelie of the race). This is because the respawn sets our position to an exact spot every time, so QM isnt an issue when using the same inputs. The copying itself was done with textfiles, and made our job significantly easier as we essentially only had to TAS 2 laps.
U/F (units per frame) is functionally the exact same as the standard KM/H, but its a more accurate measurement term, since whats commonly called KM/H is actually nowhere near the true value in kilometres per hour. Thank you to Syara for making this icon!

My first Australian Record on a no shortcut/no glitch category! Im very happy with this run.
Lap 1 | 38.165
Lap 2 | 37.787
Lap 3 | 37.764
Run analysis:
Lap 1 was going well and I got a great low-trick on the second ramp, but the cave exit was bad, as I didnt get a slipdrift + wheelie. I also hit some offroad upon landing from the shortcut.
Aside from hitting a tiny bit of offroad before the second ramp, Lap 2 was really good.
Lap 3 was great and is my PBS lap 3. It didnt have any major flaws, aside from the last turn - where I went wide and didnt cut off enough offroad - which cost around 0.150.
