NX71 | TASing SM64 Return of Wrath Eternal Lethality Star 5 Red Coins #8 Final @nx7173 | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
transmitted privately due to pressure and nervousness live, I hope you can understand it, Also I dont interact much in the chat and there wasn't much audience, the important thing is to demonstrate how I works in the TAS.
live TASing, RoW, now Star 5 Red Coins ''Reds'' hardest and longest star in the hack and that I ever made in any SM64 rom hack.
info:
For those who do not know: the live stream is not lag, is the emulator with low fps for better accuracy and response time in the TAS run.
I use Bizhawk 2.3 because for me is easier than Mupen with LUA, Bizhawk for me are better for the longest runs.
Tools that I use:
Bizhawk 2.3 (TAS emulator and virtual pad)
SM64 Paint (to see the level and its structures easily)
Sketchup (to see my levels and strict measures in case of doubt with a jump)
Toads Tool 64 (to see every object, enemy, etc in the level, I also organize the red coins route, secrets/checkpoints in order if the star is long)
NohBoard (to see what key do I press)
chat rules:
dont spam, dirty jokes, do not insult me and no one (or will it be banned indefinitely)
let's keep this place happy without stupid childs.
spanish or english (dont write in other languages because it will be difficult for me to understand)
enjoy the stream brous!

This TAS and the level are my greatest achievements in SM64 for now, On June 30 I started with the first inputs for all Stars until the platform of 1:10 where you have to take different paths to reach the different stars of the map, after having completed and done the TAS of all stars I was missing this one, obviously the most difficult and longest, but I discovered a lot of new shortcuts during my journey and what I learned from previous stars.
I kept looking at my level again, because there is always something hidden that even the creator himself does not realize and indeed I had to make a change in the route of the Red Coins because I found a way that takes less time from Red Coin [16] onwards and it worked perfectly.
For this video I used a 32 bits pixel format with the original contrast of the files and a render of Full HD 59.94 fps, In the previous videos you will notice that there is a glow in the dark levels, with this new configuration I removed everything so that it looks normal and in good quality.
Description of the Star and my opinions:
Star 5 Red Coins or Reds by its short meaning, currently the longest star in the game, my goal was to defeat it in less than 1 hour but as I said with the new route and the new shortcuts the time was cut a lot so much that I was surprised that I managed it in 33 minutes, Another surprising thing is that it only surpasses by about 2 minutes the Red Coin Star of Aftershock Nightmare: [https://youtu.be/p8lphzCSWs8] I designed this level with the purpose of being much longer than the previous ones but hidden shortcuts are always a surprise, but this level has a much more complete design and with a great variety of obstacles surpassing the previous ones, so it makes it much more interesting to see, Aftershock Nightmare There was a lot of focus on the idea of long wallkicks and some quicksand jumpings, this level focused on the same thing as opposed to having more slopes and some terrain for free jumping, and a more better and short shell ride that was skipped by a shortcut on 10:47 hahaha, but will make a video of that part in a future.
The QSLG challenge of the end it really seemed long, I didnt want it to be so excessive, at least with the jumps I shortening the path, but that doesnt delete that there have been a lot of repetitions.
The reclimbs werent tedious and I didnt want them to appear much like Everlasting Encore of TWDE for example, I focused a lot on a enlaced level where was a single path to the objective in order not to repeat it all the time to get a bit %stress.
Info:
I started this TAS on October 4 and I finish on November 13, I could have worked almost every day but I had no motivation, especially after the days of exercise.
Livestreams of this TAS are in my channel
Rerecords: 27203
Red Coins: 31
Time: 33:5500 (the 00 numbers uses 30 frames counter, after exceeding 29 the second changes)
This star requires: Metal Cap and Vanish Cap
Random things that I would like to mention:
The level seems a bit empty but I have put the limits of objects in Toads Tool.
I wanted to put a little more obstacles but I reached the limit of triangles and vertices, I use SM64 Editor 2.0.9 because with new versions I have problems and rom hack becomes defective, With all the new shortcuts I am able to delete a lot of areas to recycle them and put new stuff.
This is the hardest Vanilla Star (no modifications or new scripts, features, etc) in SM64 that I beat. Djonk Junk Reds uses rotating platforms scripts and that is incorporating a new function, Final Tragedy Reds is not saved either, because that Star and Level uses a Red Switch to disable or active a red block from pack of new items and objects patch of Kaze Emanuar
The 2nd hardest TAS that I done in SM64 was the Everlasting Encore Reds in 20 minutes, 31021 Rerecords, more than this one but most of those were testing shortcuts and jumps, something that I almost didnt do here since I knew my level well.
If I had tried shortcuts or things I probably would have been over 30K-35K rerecords.
7:56 fastest way to get to the slippery platform
8:30 the walls are crocked, I tried to make more speed but its difficult, Mario gets buged and doesnt wallkick.
9:28 snufit almost killed me
10:47 big shortcut to skip shell ride area
16:30 flamethrower almost killed and roasted me
20:23 you need to wait for the bomb to explode to cross the wall, because there is no floor
20:33 hard C-Up trick 300spd firsties
23:08 bad chuckya rng, the most possible thing that I could achieve at that moment
25:25 qslg challenge area start
31:10 qslg challenge area end
I hope you liked it, if there is an error either in the video or in the level, tell me.

Some people wanted to see the TAS of the Star 2 and I also wanted to upload it and here it is.
I used the same inputs of S1 until lava zone 3:37 where you have to take another route to this star.
from the 3:37 to the S2 I was ~2 hours making this TAS.
rerecords: 4700
time: 63826

I beat the Star 1: Sky High Castle of Koopa in an incredibleFTW time using my shortcuts and ideas in this.
Savestates: 1002
1 hour in this idk
i found that shortcut of 1:17 analyzing the area ok, with sm64 paint you can view the 3d levels and if you look closely at that area or several others it is obvious that there is a shortcut to skip 1 minute of obstacles.")

First Star in the world now much more faster than my previously run https://youtu.be/81XF-zwUrcU.
This is Done in the V1.1.5 version of this game, now the level have less frame walljumping and some platforms are more easy.
also i fixed the graphics in the emulator for the annoying rare black things and the fog level.
Savestates 501, 1 hour with 30 minutes in this.
Time: 7:4825
This is the star 0.0 following the order by Toads Tool 64, In a few days I will do the 100% single stars run in this world, starting with the star 1 to the star 6, the red coins in this version it will be in another day.")
