Scott Rogoff | Samus Break the Targets 7.36 [TAS] @Mario64Master | Uploaded October 2019 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) was completed by Mario 64 Master (Scott Rogoff) on October 23, 2019.
This was the TAS world record for this level until I achieved 7.33 on April 4, 2020 (youtu.be/FbQBL4H6Kaw).
The previous record was 7.43 by GarySSBM (youtu.be/l8CWAkpeXn8).
Comparison with the 7.43 run:
- 1 frame was saved by jumping for target 5 a frame sooner (in-game timer 2.90). I copied this technique from Zampa's video here: youtu.be/quSMqBORYq4
- 1 frame was saved by optimizing the movement for targets 6-7, so that the last waveland before target 8 could leave the ground 1 frame sooner (in-game timer 5.30).
- 2 frames were saved by optimizing the movement between targets 8 and 10. Notably, starting the wall jump higher allows Samus to be farther left after the target 9 slipoff (in-game timer 6.67).
Setup:
Dolphin 5.0
Melee NTSC 1.02
Recorded with Nvidia ShadowPlay (1080p, 60fps, 50 Mbps)

This tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) was completed by Mario 64 Master (Scott Rogoff) on April 4, 2020.
This was the TAS world record for this level until I achieved 7.28 on April 25, 2020 (https://youtu.be/05yBRwdqLX4).
My previous best (and previous world record) was 7.36, from 6 months prior (https://youtu.be/D7L2 phX2w).
Compared to the 7.36 run, 2 frames were saved by optimizing the movement between targets 9 and 10. Notably, starting the fast fall sooner allows Samus to move further upwards on the first frame of the air dodge (in-game timer 7.16).
This TAS is 20 frames faster than my real-time 7.67 run (https://youtu.be/n-wDUGsHnoc).

This tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) uses only 1 boomerang, unlike most strategies that use 2. Its just 0.25 seconds longer than the TAS world record (https://youtu.be/er4l1V28A40).")

Not a new record, just a cool strategy.
This is a TAS (tool-assisted speedrun).")
