This is a tool-assisted speedrun (TAS). Played on SwareJonges Dolphin 5.0 LUA Core v3.5.2. Tools used: slow-down, savestates, frame advance, TAS input, TAS code, and RAM watch (info display).
TAS BKT Cut: -1.701

Current RTA BKT (2:15.732 by Victor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZVSZf6T78s
Lamejoins (https://www.youtube.com/user/l4m3join01) inputs were used up to 0:35, where I then branched off. The inputs from the 2:12 were used up to the beginning of lap 2, where you can then see the ghost in comparison.
Music: Chrono Trigger - Kingdom Trial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGKZfKEpKk0)
Ive been working on this on and off since July. I had 4 main bursts of motivation that I used to complete this TAS. The first one was the end of July, that brought me to the middle of lap 2. The second one was the beginning of September, which brought me near the end of lap 2. The third one was the middle of October, which brought me to the middle of lap 3. The fourth one was the middle of November, which brought me to the end of lap 3.
About the category:
Since theres still no unanimous decision among the TAS community regarding whether the MT turnskip should fall in no ultra or no glitch, Ive named this video no glitch, no turnskip to eliminate any ambiguity.
About the timecut:
The lap 1 of the 2:12 was made in about 6-8 hours, whereas the rest was made in less than an hour combined. The lap 1 time was also significantly faster than lap 2/3, and for MT, you get a huge amount of boost leading into the lap, so lap 2/3 should be significantly faster than lap 1. This TAS corrects the inconsistent laps from the previous TAS and also improves upon the strats further.
Flaws corrected from previous TAS:
Lap 2 - All turns are taken better. The first log and wiggler section use the appropriate strats (not performed as best as they could be though). The U turn is no longer missing the wifi glitch strat (coined from an incorrect assumption that you can only get a boost from the zipper from the base of it in wifi rooms). The last ramp no longer has a drift lowtrick, and now has the proper double trick.
Lap 3 - Same improvements as in lap 2, except... The net and last ramp section is done correctly, as I end on the left side instead of the right. The correct type of walltrick is done as well.
New strats compared to previous lap 1:
Lap 2 - The turn after the wiggler section and second log feature new movement, which is much faster than what is done on lap 1. The wifi glitch now has a full trick boost (100f) rather than a normal zipper boost (50f), and so I no longer charge a miniturbo as its faster to maintain wheelie speed. The net section now features trick spam on the side of the net instead of 3 slow tricks off of the top face. The double trick at the end is better than the one performed on lap 1 (I get the full forward speed boost without sacrificing exit angle - on lap 1 I had to sacrifice speed for approach angle into the SC lap 2).
Lap 3 - Same strats as in lap 2, except... the turn after the wiggler section is done even better, the second log is done slightly worse due to QM for the U turn, and the U turn features yet another new strat, with a way less precise and much faster way of getting a fast low zipper trick, which is combined with a hop and weird zipper boost physics to get extra tight turning for an early wheelie.
Other notes:
- The turn after the cannon lap 2 looks like I lost significant time but thats just because the ghost is offscreened to the side (which looks like offscreening behind, which would mean significant timesave) and then returns back to being right behind.
- The end of lap 3 features a wheelie-jammed up-walltrick. I think this is the first TAS to ever feature a walltrick using an up trick, since up tricks are usually the one type of trick you dont want used (they shoot you up rather than down). This was faster than a jammed RSTA-walltrick (like in the glitch 3lap TAS) or a hop-jammed spin-STA-walltrick (like in the glitch flap TAS) in my testing. Do note, these names have to be this specific because there are so many ways you can approach this last trick that you need to be able to tell the difference.
Special thanks:
Ejay, Zappg, Burger, Canibal, Hibyehello, TASPlasma, Jellopuff, Wade, Vabold, and many others for giving me motivation and feedback over the past 4 months while I was working on this. This is likely one of my last major solo projects on a Nintendo category so Im glad to have this over and done with.

Yes you just watched what you think you watched. Big shortcut is possible with 1 mushroom! Huge thanks to NOKKY for revolutionising this section by finding that you can use a high trick on the first hay stack, combined with tricks on the top of the second and third hay stacks to make it back on the track. I then realised the RTA 2 shroom shortcut setup could be used to make the first hay stack reachable in 0 mushrooms, and also found that you could use the pole (which for some reason is trickable) to land from the third hay stack trick boost earlier and also get more boost afterwards.
This is branched off of Marths (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XDwaa_GoOA) old 3 shroom lap (linked in previous BKS), and due to NOKKYs (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoEpHRA-1qb3Rjr2iABblEg) new 1 shroom big SC strat (found in January https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/356185849337085953/800979472039804956/Dolphin_Emulator_2021.01.19 15.40.35.03_Trim.mp4), the second lap would have an extra shroom to use (which would likely be the 1 shroom big SC again, but maybe not).

THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED - PLEASE SEE BETTER VERSIONS OF THIS VIDEO HERE:
https://youtu.be/0ZY7PagGVaw (Ultra) // https://youtu.be/i_4hiMbGY-c (No Ultra)
This is a series I have planned to collaborate solely with Charlie on, and we have about 10 of the tracks already done that just need to be recorded and edited (we started in April and have been putting it off for a while). In order for a track to count as being completed backwards, you must start in lap 1 and travel through all of lap 0 backwards, finishing by reaching lap -1.
The series will be uploaded gradually on both our channels, however once there are videos on both channels, I will set up a playlist so that people dont miss out on uploads. We will be going through the tracks of the CTGP 1.03-1112 update alphabetically, and returning to any past tracks if breakthroughs are made that change the statistics of the progression of the challenge (more on this later in the description).
The main issue with Abandoned Boardwalk is that progressing further behind the underwater section is only possible if you respawn in the beginning of the underwater section. This is not achievable as there is no way to achieve a respawn that far back.
What I attempt to do in this video is follow the offroad around to the back of the track, wallclip across to the OOB area, hug the wall to not get counted OOB (then turn around because the wall ends and I have to get on the other side of it another way), hug the wall all the way to the other side of the big OOB area, ride the edge of the OOB until I get back to where I was at the start of the seam riding process, then attempt to shroom and bounce across to the place where the fence lines up laterally with the rim of the underwater section (where I would be able to hug the wall while I fall and land on the edge of the rim, then ride the rim until I get far enough back to respawn up on the end of the boardwalk).
There are two reasons why this didnt work. First, the way I reach the back side of the fence means I skipped going through KCP 6 (which means KCP region 5 isnt loaded, which includes CP 36 - the one I have to be in to respawn up on the boardwalk). Second (which happens in the video), I cant do the bounce to the place where the fence and the rim meet laterally without getting counted OOB by the water.
There are a few statistics and various versions of this challenge that I will keep track of that allow for a better understanding of whats going on. Below is a list of all of them:
1. Completing the track backwards with the minimum number of respawns, where you have access to a certain amount of mushrooms (a = Infinite, b = 3, c = 2, d = 1, e = 0)
2. Completing the track backwards with the minimum number of respawns, then minimising the number of mushrooms from there
3. Completing the track backwards with the minimum number of mushrooms, regardless of respawn count
Abandoned Boardwalk has failed to even be completable backwards so does not have any statistics to offer:
1a. N/A, 1b. N/A, 1c. N/A, 1d. N/A, 1e. N/A, 2. N/A, 3. N/A")

In this video, I drive a full lap of the custom track Aquania backwards using all 3 mushrooms available in time trials. Because this doesnt actually require any of the mushrooms, I dont use them. In order for a track to count as being completed backwards, you must start in lap 1 and travel through all of lap 0 backwards, finishing by reaching lap -1. We will be going through the tracks of the CTGP 1.03-1112 update alphabetically, and returning to any past tracks if breakthroughs are made that change the statistics of the progression of the challenge (more on this later in the description).
Here, there is 1 respawn that is mandatory to complete the track backwards, that can be done with any amount of mushrooms. The respawns is as follows:
Respawn #1: to get to the beginning of the cannon

Backstory: This is a series I had originally planned to collaborate solely with Charlie on, however, since starting the project, Jellopuff helped out with the 2nd track, and Charlie stopped doing MKWii TASing, so a lot has changed. I have some more people helping me with this, but videos will be more central to my channel since its way easier for people to understand the progression of the challenge if the progress updates are consistent with the previous ones (the titles and descriptions, the rules of the challenge, the explanations made, etc.). That being said, the only reason for the delay on uploading progress on these is down to my motivation to record them, and since youre reading this, it means I got the motivation to record this specific one. I have 8 more tracks already done that just need to be recorded and edited (Charlie and I started in April and have been putting it off a LOT).
What I do in the video is fairly self-explanatory. I simply drive off the edge of the end of the track, respawn before the cannon, and then drive backwards until I reach the beginning of the lap again. As theres not really ever going to be any lead towards cutting the respawn at the start, this is likely as far as this track will ever go.
There are a few statistics and various versions of this challenge that I will keep track of that allow for a better understanding of whats going on. Below is a list of all of them:
1. Completing the track backwards with the minimum number of respawns, where you have access to a certain amount of mushrooms (a = Infinite, b = 3, c = 2, d = 1, e = 0)
2. Completing the track backwards with the minimum number of respawns, then minimising the number of mushrooms from there
3. Completing the track backwards with the minimum number of mushrooms, regardless of respawn count
Aquania has the following statistics to offer:
1a. 1 Respawn
1b. 1 Respawn
1c. 1 Respawn
1d. 1 Respawn
1e. 1 Respawn
2. 0 Mushrooms
3. 0 Mushrooms")
