With the ever approaching RTA WR very close to the time of my original TAS, Ive wanted to redo it before it was beaten. Silly, I know, but being out-optimised by RTA is not something I wanted on my conscience. There is actually a fairly major timesave I left out of this (ramp is about 0.1 faster) because I wanted to keep the TAS as close to the previous one as possible in terms of strategies, to ensure you all know where the timesaves are coming from. Had I simply uploaded a 3lap TAS with the ramp, there would have been no indication of what a rampless run might look like, and there could be arguments made that the TAS was only faster than RTA because it used the ramp. Now you can see that, no, the TAS is definitely faster than RTA. Besides, the existing prospect of TASes being used as markers for the time limit when a track is this simple is not something I wanted to pass up. I know how useful it can be to know how good RTA runs are and where there is still room for improvement (look at GBA Shy Guy Beach 150cc). I will probably come back to the track later this year to give it its full treatment, ramp strat and all.
Please let me know in the comments if you have no interest in 200cc TASes. I will not do them if you do not want to see them. I enjoy making videos other people enjoy, so just saying do what you enjoy is not what I need :) Be open about your opinions on my content!

There are no former TAS or RTA runs on this track for comparison.

This track was created by JDS for Custom Track Jam #25. The track has not been officially released so there is no tockdom page for it.
Ive wanted to make a TAS of this track since I hosted the CT Jam that featured it. I made short LOTAD laps for each entry when working with Yoshii to make the result video, and found the slippery aspect of this one a really cool challenge to try out in the future. A few months later, in September, I decided to download the track and start making a TAS of it. I actually started off using Funky Kong Spear (my mind was in rSL glitch mindset not rSL no glitch mindset), then switched to test Dry Bowser Spear, before realising my mistake, and switching straight to Toadette Magikruiser. Ive TASed this off and on since, over the past 5 months, have made it into lap 3 and restarted lap 1 multiple times, and finished (for real) yesterday. A lot of the points in this TAS have moments where I do something slightly suboptimal or unusual - this is due to QM on the ramp and at the supegrind ejection (mostly the latter) preventing timesaves that arent full amounts of frames.
At some point near the beginning of the project, I realised you could start a supergrind, but couldnt get it to save time until I figured out a good place to eject from it without losing time on the recovery. I ended up settling on releasing it about 5 or 6 seconds earlier than the endpoint (where you would hit a wall and/or lose all your speed) for the maximum timesave. The supergrind ended up saving well over a second per lap. Also, it may look like Im tricking quite high on the ramp, but since it gives a full mushroom boost, I want to stay in the air until I reach the point where Ive spaced out the boost enough to maximise both of them (ramp & trick). This is by far the shortest 3lap I ever have, and likely ever will make. Im unsure as to whether this will become 5 laps, or whether the surface of the cave will change (potentially preventing the supergrind) in the future, but for now this is where the track is, and you all get to enjoy it while it is like this.
Lastly, after having found 6 supergrind strats (MC for flap, DKS potentially for flap, rDKJP for 3lap/flap, MMM for 3lap viability, rMR 2nd one for 3lap/flap, rBC shroomless one for last lap of 3lap) all on Nintendo tracks, Ive wanted to find a supergrind on a custom track, so this is a really cool thing to have done.

a 200cc TAS??? yep. if this was completely optimised it could probably go down to 1:40, and if there are better strats then maybe 1:39 but this is pretty solid considering I spent only 2 nights on it.
You may be wondering... why do I use a shroom at the end instead of the beginning? Well, the answer is, its faster. In order to do the end cut shroomless you have to do it with a trick boost (which you can get by doing a high trick off the big ramp). In RTA, you cant do that low a trick off the big ramp because you cant do RFH, however in TAS, you can do RFH meaning the big ramp is much lower and the trick boost ends before you reach the end sc, which is where you use a shroom. Now surely its a waste of a mushroom? Well, I tested both strategies and it looks like the time saved from the grass cut at the beginning of the lap is completely negated by the time lost from the high trick on the big ramp. In fact, the first lap was 0.5 seconds slower using it, meaning the high trick lost around 1.5 seconds alone.
If you want to see a comparison between the two different lap 1s, check out this video: https://youtu.be/_lHAUN6u6ZM
Why did I make this TAS? Well, I wanted to try out 200cc, and I saw someone recommend this category so tried it out. Yes, the 150cc TAS on rBC is still going, however were still stuck working on the glitch lap 2 so it will be a while before any big progress is made.

Lap 1 TAS BKS Cut: -0.335

This run was actually made on the 6th of January 2021, 2 days after making the 1:28 3lap. The beginning of the lap is copied from the old NG 3lap WIP (which has since been improved before the first escalator due to a new strat there). The biggest difference (other than using flame runner) from the old lap 1 is the trick off the banister while OOB, which had long been thought to have been faster until Wade suggested I try it, and I eventually got it to work after serious doubts. I made a 1 or 2 frame improvement the day after making this lap, but was never able to carry it, even with the help of multiple other TASers, so we (and I) lost motivation and it was never completed.
The route of going from in bounds to out of bounds on laps 1 and 3, and from out of bounds to in bounds on lap 2 will be obsoleted by the new shortcut discovered by dm248 and Ancient, found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkh1CohKAuY
