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.

*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 aren't stopped to a halt completely by the wall - doesn't 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 isn't 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 it's a more accurate measurement term, since what's commonly called KM/H is actually nowhere near the true value in kilometres per hour. Thank you to Syara for making this icon!
