SM64SR-# | [TAS] Please come to the castle "ZeroKey" in 2:03 by ChouxZi3, SR and Zerolin @SR-1 | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 minutes ago.
We beat the romhack Please come to the castle in 2 minutes and 3 seconds, which is 19 seconds faster than the previous record. This is TAS
Timing starts when ROM starts
Timing ends on last input (when screen goes black)
Massive shoutouts to ChouxZi3(youtube.com/channel/UC2BRYSlctEGCRT6iKdk9kEA) for basically doing the entire TAS and Zerolin(youtube.com/channel/UCs7mynJlqrqJrh-ixcUFFPg) for finding the fast OJ PU route! This TAS wouldn't have been possible without them.
Most of the inputs you see here are done by ChouxZi3 he TASed and optimized nearly everything, saving a bunch of time over the previous TAS. The really big timesave comes from the OJ PU route though. Zerolin found, planned and also TASed that part, saving around 9 seconds. ChouxZi3 then found the stair BLJ setup which saved some time as well, so he redid the PU part with basically the same inputs. After that, I found the 2nd BLJ in Bowsers that shaved off a couple more seconds and once again ChouxZi3 optimised it and also TASed the Ending entry.
So yeah thanks for watching and reading this.

I collect Red coins in the Crater and Starlight runways 100 coins in 1x A press. This is TAS.
I apologize for the frame drops, but there was no way to fix that.
This was previously done in 2x A presses by Sidney: https://youtu.be/m1l1_lMuJX4
Since then, I found out how to:
1. Get up to 500 speed using shell hyperspeed
2. Redirect that speed towards the cannon platform
The rest is pretty much the same as Sidneys 2xA TAS with the only difference being some slight route changes and the fact that we go to the top first.
The TAS is very improveable but I didnt have much time for this and I already delayed it for a week.
This reduces the total 130 star A press count from 88 to 87.

I collect Follow the Glittering Path in 1x A press. This is TAS.
This was previously done in 1.5x A presses by FeijoadaMolhada: https://youtu.be/Nt_0QnyLYYw
Since then, I discovered:
1. That you can use shell hyperspeed to get up to 500 speed
2. How to redirect that speed towards the cannon platform.
From there, the rest is basically the same as Sidneys (https://youtube.com/@sidney600sr6) 2xA TAS
You might wonder if this strat can also be applied to Aim the turret and Reds+100c and the answer is yes, in fact we are working on that right now.
This doesnt save any total A presses since its just a half A press save.

I collect Big Boos Tower in 1.5x A presses. This is TAS
This was previously done in 2x A presses by Zimbo: https://youtu.be/agHz1zrLs94
Since then, Iwer Sonsch(https://youtube.com/channel/UCnJKlalNQWIco1DS0Uw_XXw) suggested using a SDC from the arch between the tower and the Scuttlebug roof to reach the Scuttlebug roof in 1xA. While that is sadly not possible due to the roof being 40 units too high, it gave me the idea to use a SDC on the staircase side instead. After brainstorming some potential strats with Iwer, Marbler(https://youtube.com/user/supermarble94), and Sidney(https://youtube.com/@sidney600sr6) to get the required height, I found the strat you see in this Video and the rest is trivial. One more thing I want to mention is, how I got the boo onto the first step. To do that, I use a trick called Boo Height Manipulation. Its actually very simple, whenever Mario isnt in an air action i.e. freefall, air knockback, etc... , the Boos in the level will raise to Marios height, as long as their height is close to Marios. In this case, I use the tree to raise the boo.
You might also wonder why I didnt use the strat to go up the risky walkway, used in both the Risky walkway star itself and in the solo 100 coins TAS, and the answer is simple: I was too lazy and the Boo bounce chain to the top of the wall is significantly easier.
Thank you ChouxZi3(https://youtube.com/channel/UC2BRYSlctEGCRT6iKdk9kEA) for giving the Lua script to me!
This reduces the total 130 star A press count from 94 to 93
