THIS IS warm-up for final tragedy reds +120s in less than 40 min
we could say that this is my first mario 64 tas using my new pc and tools lol
rerecords: 1501
timework 3 hours
I am going to tell the truth, first I want to get the star 1 using this extreme shortcut way using hwsk but it is physically impossible for the bad angles on the platforms, I was like 1 hour 30 min testing to the limit the virtual pad angles and what I got was accidentally the star 2 in less than 1 minute.

One of my most epic and hardest TASes in SM64, I really put a lot of effort making this, I hope you enjoy my work, I spent about 2 weeks trying to do this and looking for my favorite strategies in this freerun.

Finally i found a good a mega HSWK shorctut in this level.
rerecords: 4592
at least like 3 hours in this
the live stream when i make this TAS in live: https://youtu.be/UbKN8lgve3o?t=6793
At least 4 minutes of reduction using this strat, instead of using the normal route in the level to get this star, this star takes 11-12 minutes to get using TAS, this star is almost at the top of the level.
I no have idea if this mega skip works for the red coins, It could definitely work if you had a reduction of 4 minutes instead of using the normal route, also right there is a red coin further down on a platform, this would go a long way to dodge all that tedious area of invisible wallkicks, I definitely need to study all this more because the red coin star with 120s is totally possible under 40 minutes.
also the zone where is the logo of TsucnenT there is already a possible new shortcut to get a red coin instead of raising the whole level again, possibly this would save at least 5 to 9 minutes, anyway I am eager to make a new TAS of the reds and 120s of this course but what is promised is debt, now im working in the new TAS of TsucnenT Dawn reds after that I will come to defeat this epic level.")

It wasnt so much fun finding the precise jumps to make HSWK, it took me more than 1 hour or more.

for the star 5 [the deepest in the first tragedy] I will try to do the same HSWK but Ill do more speed and try to pass the level by flying omg.")

on 2020 I made my worst level at SM64, a level with a bad design, long, tedious, with a lack of variety when I still lacked experience, later I make a TAS of red coin star which was quite bad due to lack of optimization also due to lack of experience, without good strats like decent frame inputs firsties so it is considered a Low Optimized TAS (LOTAD), with a duration of 2 hours and almost 47 minutes https://youtu.be/zV5qbvElDX0 not only did it attract attention, it also became a meme and the level showed that with a simple design with repetitive tricks it can become something eternal.
Its been a few months since the release of biggest kaizo rom hack (Treasure World Dream Edition), this level was a bit based of the final ones of that game and thats why the Truxton 2 S5 music, during the pandemic I started following it a lot and playing its levels more, watching streams, and I started to focus a lot on Course 15 and EEncore, I started designing simple designs in my free time on sketchup and making runs with savestates beating some stars and I started with the TASes where I learned a lot of new stuff especially first frame wallkicks to make speed.
After finishing SM64 TBVirus and TASing a lot those levels I started designing a new hack calling SM64 Return of Wrath (RoW), I designed the first level, it took like 2 weeks because I changed my entire design strategy to a new one and it gave results, instead of 2-5 days of avg editing to complete a level like on Black Virus to more than 10 the first time, I learned to use more tools on sketchup and make polygons with more sides.
Years have passed since that first level I made in mid-2020, during that time each new level ended better for me but it was exhausting editing those hard things until I spend 2 months doing the Course 9 and a special level designed for TAS, (but not very active every day), I release a 0.5version of my progress and I move to remake my first hack on 2016.
Also I TASed a lot during that time, I destroyed final levels of TWDE and new shortcuts appeared, I also helped more experienced people follow my routes to reduce even more time.
Now more in present, In 2023 I focused on beating my own TAS levels that I made in RoW, there was thousands and thousands of savestates and it was worth it, It helped me get practice and watch some crazy runs to entertain even the most boring living being looking at the sky.
I returned to this level a few months ago but it wasnt until now where I designed a route and used all those walls to really make speed.
Info:
I had to change the route of red coins several times due to shortcuts that appeared all the time and finally a big one has destroyed the level completely, a unusual Hyper Speed Lava Boost (HSLB) at the top of level that is only achieved with 400spd firsties (after 400spd Mario gets bugged at walls and doesnt more jump thats why I keep 399). All red coins of the horrible and long meme quick sand ledge grab (qslg) finally will be reach fast without making none of them, something I never imagined.
To obtain those reds you have to go up to the hs lava boost 4 times while you adjust the speed in the air so as not to avoid any.
The beginning of the level was a nightmare, I didnt know what inputs use when jumping off the slope and I make a run with 3k rerecords completely bad and I had to start all over again to get optimized speed at +200spd wallkicks after change of angle by the glitchy wallkick.
After the coins in the main area, only the center remained, It wasnt that difficult but I tried a bunch of parts to see if I could get a bigger shortcut but nothing interesting came up.
Wallkicks has destroyed qslg areas, I dont will spoiler the final count, see it yourself.
Sub 20 min of this star is probably impossible due to long parallels wallkicks that contains 2 reds 13:36 & 18:24, there is no direct slopes or crooked walls to manipulate angles, If anyone has an idea, say in the comments.
I do livestreams TASing this star: https://www.youtube.com/@nx7173/streams
