tasThomas | (TAS) coinless Luma bounce @MKWiiTomas | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
A strat I found a while ago. It is obsolete now that I have a new Luma bounce strat that lands on the planet without hitting the coin.
This is 20 frames faster than the regular Luma bounce in a full run (it skips the coin textbox on Starship Mario) but is 25 frames slower during the IL.

This run was performed on Dolphin 5.0 Lua Core with the use of Frame Advance, Savestates, TAS Input, TAS Toolkit, & Lua Scripts
Authors: Thomas, Monster, Justin, & Ejay
This is a huge run as this is the first time in the entire games history that either Waluigi or The Phantom have ever been used in a RTA or TAS WR/BKT on a Nintendo Track!
This run makes us of an advanced movement technique known as Superhopping. Outside-drifting bikes have a special property that allows them a bit of extra movement in the air when they hop. This movement is not added to the vehicle speed, but instead to an uncapped portion of your speed called the External Velocity.
Normally, the External Velocity quickly disperses as soon as you land from the hop, however, by performing a specific sequence of inputs, the External Velocity is preserved even after landing on the ground, and the next Superhop adds more external velocity. By repeating this process many times, the game essentially gives you large amounts of free speed allowing you to easily reach and maintain a full 120KM/H.
SGB presents several unique challenges for a Superhopping TAS. Superhopping on off-road is similar to normal Superhopping but requires a few extra considerations. Because off-road slows you down, Superhopping requires you to gain more External Velocity to make up for the lost vehicle speed. Additionally, because Superhopping inputs require you to spindrift 4/5 times a second to build velocity, the player will always turn slightly inward, making long straights very difficult to optimize. Lastly, the glitch requires you to back up, then accelerate back to max speed. These goals converge on The Phantom with its worse handling compared to other ODBs with high off-road stats, and Waluigi, who lacks any handling bonus and high acceleration modifier.
Thank you to Monster, Justin, & Ejay for your help with lap 2 ending and the Glitch!

This TAS is performed on track version 1.2.2 (by FunkyDude15, Riidefi and Zachruff)
I tried this track just to take a break DDR and rMC. This also stands as a test to see how well I could use Automatic given my lack of experience with it. This is semi-optimized but Im content with the result given it is only about 20 hours of work and was done for fun.

NOTE: This is a Tool-Assisted Speedrun. This time will not count on any real rankings. For more info, please visit http://tasvideos.org
This run is not fully optimised. I am uploading this partially for documentation but mainly because Malleo and Blaze have been going on at each other for about 2 weeks telling the other to upload it, so I decided to upload to shut them up.
Blaze did all of lap 1 and the start of lap 2, Malleo did the end of lap 2 and glitch alignment for lap 3 and I redid the glitch into lap 3 using Malleos alignment and completed the rest of lap 3.
This run will be redone since Blaze has new strats and we will fully optimise the run next time.

Authors: Thomas, Marth & Akari
Marth found the faster ramp strat, I found that doing rfha on it was actually about 2 frames faster, so me and Akari played around with it for a while.
The beginning of the run before the shortcut was backwards and forwards improvements from Marth and Akari and the shroomcut onward was redone and optimised by me and Akari.
Im fairly confident we have optimised the lap enough and we will more than likely begin work on the no glitch lap 2 and also testing super-grind.

This TAS is performed on track version 2.43.
Yet another lap one, on a custom track of all things. I finished this lap back in late December to see how far I could push the track. I will probably finish this run as I am still very far ahead of the new BKT.
