Superdavo0001 | SM64 Last Impact - Bee Mushroom Without Talking To Queen [TAS] @Superdavo0001 | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
In this video, I test the idea of clipping past the guard bee in Harried Honey Hive in order to grab the bee mushroom. Turns out you can get the mushroom, but you can't escape again! :(
The result was a pretty interesting TAS with a cool BLJ though, so I thought I'd upload it.
Some extra thoughts for anyone who may want to try this for themselves:
• There are no useful BLJs inside the blocked area, with which to
escape. There's one on top of the door, but I couldn't make it work
- Mario would just jump off the door.
• I couldn't find a way to clip through the wall generally. I may be
missing something though.
• Getting the mushroom like this may not be necessary anyway - most (if not all) stars could probably be collected mushroom-less. I'll have to look into a few of them, but most are definitely possible...

Well this is an unexpected way to break a world-record!
This run uses a bizarre glitch I found recently, in which going to the Game Over screen seems to corrupt the save file in a number of weird ways, including losing Marios cap and giving him 182 stars. Most notably though, it unlocks the wing cap box, which in this hack contains the path to the final boss! This means if I can die 10 times I can skip straight to the end, rather than having to use a different corruption involving the cannon opening bob-omb in 2-4 (see Tomatobirds run for that).
Finding the fastest way to die 10 times was kinda tricky, as there are no death floors in the hub, and you have to get pretty far into 1-1 before you find any there. In the end I opted to complete 1-1, collect the star, and use the checkpoint there to repeatedly go back & die. Tbh Im not sure why I entered 1-2, I didnt need to lol. To complete 1-1 fast, I also implemented a handy BLJ on the mushrooms, which is fairly consistent and saves a few seconds if done well.
Interestingly, because it doesnt require any warp-rooms or the level-hub at the bottom, this run should actually qualify as warpless, saving an insane 28 minutes from Phantons already impressive record!
The run is very improvable as I kinda just wanted to show it off, I could definitely fix the execution flaws with more attempts.
...Ok yeah you know what this is from the date it was uploaded, but whats *actually* going on? The corruption glitch is legitimate, but based on my testing seems to be an emulator-specific quirk, as I only got it to occur in Project64 1.6. Heck, for all I know I could just have a cursed emulator or something. Because of this (and the fact this would make any% quite dull tbh) I suspect this run wouldnt count as legitimate. Still, I felt it would be a fun thing to show off to celebrate April Fools Day, and I hope you all enjoyed it!")

1370 by me :-)
I was hoping to save a few frames here and there when I started TASing, but I never for a moment thought Id find 3.5 seconds worth of time-saves!
Play-by-play of what I did:
• First, I enter the level. As I fall, I press B, which causes me to momentarily gain hyper-speed, moving backwards for a single frame, and landing conveniently near the slope to the penguin.
• Next, I jump up to the baby penguin. I do this by doing a big jump first, then mashing A on alternate frames, which I believe to be the fastest method of reaching the top.
• Once Im at the top, I stop. Conveniently, the 200spd Toad gains during the jumps causes me to stop right next to the penguin. I angled my jumps such that I stopped just behind the penguin, as close as possible.
• Next, I quick-turn, and walk towards the baby penguin, who has moved just out of my reach in the time it took to quick-turn (I dont think this can be prevented unfortunately). I do this optimally by using the joystick for 1 frame at the minimum speed that will allow me to grab the penguin again when I stop.
• Next, I lose my speed, and grab the penguin. I need to be stationary otherwise I will fly away with hyper-speed and not grab the penguin.
• Next, I gain hyper-speed, by performing an AB-kick. This allows me to clip through the wall, and begin falling towards the penguin. Because of the nature of the jump, and the high speed, Toad gains a vertical displacement of ~1250 units downwards, which shortens the freefall, saving time.
• I now fall towards the bottom area and the mother penguin. During this fall, I improve the camera angle, and manoeuvre Toad such that he will fall towards the edge of her interaction radius later, as close to the star as he can be. I was probably a little bit over-the-top with this, and it took a while to get right, but it worked, and actually had a rather tight margin.
• Next, I accelerate Mario forwards towards the mother penguin. I time this such that I ground-pound in the correct location on the last frame before landing, which I believe to be optimal. I then interact with the mother penguin as soon as Ive recovered from the ground-pound.
• Finally, I collect the star. The optimal way to do this (afaik) is to immediately jump for 3 frames towards it, and GP once underneath. Its worth noting that I was rather close to the edge of the hitbox when I collected the star, meaning that if I wasnt so precise with the targeting during the freefall earlier, I may not have reached it on that frame, wasting a frame in the run.

Oh boy its been a while!
This video shows my current personal best and current world record time in Peachs Fury, a ROMHack made by Kaze Emanuar. I believe the time saved was largely through the use of faster strats. I think my execution was better in some places but its tough to compare overall as both me and Keldon naturally made errors in different places.
To answer a very obvious question: Many platforms were grey because I was using the wrong emulator graphics plugin. I was using LINKs GlideN and didnt bother changing to Jabo because it often freezes up, and I didnt want to risk that happening in the middle of a run.
This hack is really fun to play and its speedrun is very nice as well. The hardest part of the run for me is the Chuckyas early on, as its very difficult to grab & throw one without being grabbed by another before youre done. My execution of at section in this attempt was pretty bad and is definitely something Im going to try and improve in the future.
Regarding the many, many changes Kaze has made to the game engine, the vast majority of them are certainly for the better. Having the game run at 60fps is pretty crazy, and the changes made to the movement all feel really smooth, making the game a little more forgiving in casual play and giving plenty of opportunities for different movement in speedruns. I do find that I have a couple of issues sometimes though:
• The cloud powerup has a habit of activating when I really dont want it to, especially when jumping from steep slopes. I slidekick off the tower at 4:30 rather than jumping for this exact reason.
• Sometimes the camera can randomly start spinning, and require mashing the opposite direction to stop it. I think this depends on how long you hold the direction for, and its quite annoying, though it didnt happen in this run.
• Related to this, the camera can randomly move way up high or way down low. I think this is the same phenomenon but with vertical camera movement, and as its slow to correct I ended up just unbinding the C^ and C-down buttons to stop it happening.
• Im not sure what this is about and it isnt an issue, but sometimes when I press B to dive I seem to end up kicking. Not a problem, I just dont understand it lol
Overall though, I really love this hack, and its combination of skill-based platforming and nicely designed treasure-hunting, and Im hyped to see what Kaze can do with this engine in his larger projects!
This run was quite a long time in the making, after StarrlightSims set an impressive 74893 early on, I decided to make that time my goal, but before I could get there, Keldon came in with a huge time-cut! I set this as my new goal and incorporated their routing improvements, and after some grinding, I eventually got my time down enough to take the record!
Im definitely going to try and improve this run in future. I can still take a good few seconds from it with the current route. I may stream some attempts at some point, and if so, Ill definitely tweet about it before I do!
Apologies for the lack of videos in recent times, Ive been more than a little too distracted by Minecraft-related shenanigans and I havent really found anything to upload. I do have a big project Ive been asked to encode though... but youll have to wait & see ;) Hopefully you wont have to wait another 8 months for another Davo upload lol
PS hate to get political but Slava Ukraini, and screw those committing atrocities against them. Theres not a lot we can do atm but not falling victim to propaganda aimed at dismissing or minimising the significance of the atrocities is an important step for all of us.")
