It's always a gamble to see whether my ghost hack works on a new ROM hack. SMB64 luckily doesn't use much of the expanded RAM, but it does continuously write 0xFF to the lower byte of the button flags. I guess that's one way of disabling camera controls. It means all C-buttons and shoulder buttons are permanently pressed, it took a while to realize that was why my replay randomly zoomed in and fast forwarded.
At least operating the camera was really easy this time. Looks a bit like Super Mario Bros. Online.
Task: Using the ROM hack Super Mario Bros. 64, in level 3-3, collect 21 coins, then end by collecting the star.

![Task 10 Ghost comparison - SM64 TAS Competition 2019
A bingo task this time! Heres the bingo card:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i2POStztOkPa5pprWk55R_0lkxCLz5yQyGoorx4GfBI/edit
A set of 5 tasks in any row, column, or diagonal must be completed.
Of course with so many different routes in different courses, there cant be a full ghost comparison this time. There were however three routes that were found multiple times, so these are included in this comparison:
In Whomps fortress, column 2 is completed:
-End by Dying
-0x A Press
-Collect at least 7 yellow coins
-Collect at least 1 1-up
-Touch at least 2 signs
Note that the 1-up is spawned from the butterfly, which is not visible in the video.
Then in Lethal Lava Land, column 2 is completed too. The runs end when Mario dies from the Lava boosts. The 1-up is collected after the death fade-out (except for 2003041 who does a lava boost afterwards).
Finally, in Tiny Huge Island, column 1 is completed:
-Take fall damage
-End by swimming animation
-Break a cork / crazy box
-Break at least 2 [!] block
-Sideflip at least 4 times
