[TAS] Despair Marios Gambit 64 - 0 Star Ideal Run in 3:58.55 tjk113 2022-10-02 | rerecords: 2080made to see just how low this category could go in the future (assuming no more big strats are found). the strat at 2:50 saves ~0.3s over the lavaboost strat. i did the pipe clips for fun lol (thanks to choux for doing the first one).
[TAS] SM64 TAS Competition 2022 Task 12 - 657 tjk113 2022-09-24 | rerecords: 700got 6th place. one of my better placements lately, but i could've done much better had i waited for a better cycle on the first rotating platform. oh well.Task 12:From a waking up start, touch the rotating firespewer platform (right-most one in the image), then continue to touch at least 3 more spinning platforms (left on the map).Finish by collecting the custom placed star."Touching" means either:- Mario's wall reference at the end of a frame belongs to the platform- Mario is in a ground action and his floor reference at the end of a frame belongs to the platform Timing starts when Mario is first able to move after waking up and ends on the first frame of star dance celebration.

[TAS] SM64 TAS Competition 2022 Task 8 - 413 tjk113 2022-07-30 | rerecords: 3548got 15th place. couldn't find anything faster than my initial route for the first week, and then i put this together. felt somewhat ok with this route, but i predicted that first place would be sub-4. also, the freerun was my first time PU tasing. i just used the stroop map lol.Task 8:In the Castle Courtyard, perform each of the following moves at least once in any order:• Backflip• Triplejump• Wallkick• LongjumpThen finish by entering the castle through the door. An action counts as performed if either Mario's "Action" field or "Previous Action" field yields an associated action at the end of the frame.The associated actions are respectively:• Backflip: "backflip", "backflip land (1/2)"• Triplejump: "triple jump", "triple jump land (1/2)"• Longjump: "long jump", "long jump land (1/2)"• Wallkick: "pole jump / wall kick"As shown in STROOP's "Actions" tab.This means you are allowed to cancel actions immediately, so long as they still show up in the "Previous Action" field.

[TAS] SM64 TAS Competition 2022 Task 7 - 1177 tjk113 2022-07-16 | rerecords: 704 (speedtask, only had 1hr30m to do my whole run)got 4th place (new best placing in this comp so far!). i could've gotten 3rd though, which i will explain in the story below...funny story: i had decided that, since i remembered, i would actually edit my savestate to have my star and life counts this time. this time, for no particular reason, i decided to make my star count 4004. then i started tasing the task. after closing the star textbox, i had another one of those "you've collected x stars..." text boxes. "odd," i thought to myself, "i would've thought xander would've made sure the star count was such that that wouldn't appear. oh well..." i then proceeded to tas the whole task, optimizing as i went. i finished my first lotad a bit after the 45 minute mark, but i figured i'd just keep optimizing and playing it back to think of any potential improvements. after a bit, i decided it wouldn't hurt to submit my first run. i drag and drop the files into the compbot dm and continue working. i see the reply in the corner of my screen. "Your submission is currently disqualified. Reason: invalid starting RNG." the anxiety begins shooting through my body. i was using my recent input lua that featured an rng-setting function. more than once while tasing i had thought to myself, "man, i sure hope i didn't somehow accidentally edit the rng at the start of my run." i promptly redownloaded the original savestate and replaced my own. immediately, a desync. "hmm?..." then, it hits me. the extra textbox at the start is gone. i immediately rush into copying my old run yaw-for-yaw (luckily, i had made a copy of my files at one point). not even 5 minutes later, however, compbot has something else to say. "You have 15 minutes remaining to submit!" my only thought: this is real speedtasing now. i continue my run, but then realize the correct rng has... changed things. now i have a route that was based on different rng. but i can't turn back. i hurriedly make the new rng work with my old route, and finish the run just as the 5 minutes remaining message rolls by. i test a couple more things, and finally submit with one minute remaining. 🙂you can watch me tas this task here: youtu.be/nbVs7YmOmS0Task 7:In Tall Tall Mountain, start by closing the textbox, kill at least one Monty Mole on each level (one from the lower level, and one from the upper level), collect the final two red coins, and finish by collecting the red coin star.• You may collect the coins and kill the moles in any order• You are NOT allowed to edit the initial RNG value

Open all 4 chests and then collect the star at the top of the ship.Note: the water has already been drained from the ship.Timing starts when Mario is first able to move and ends when you see Mario celebrate after collecting the star.

Big Bob-omb on the Summit 4269 / 4253 igt tjk113 2022-06-01 | xoofey found that skipping the kick when jumping back over the king during the fight is fast. this run is still pretty unoptimized and could reasonably go down to 42.3x igt.

[TAS] Super Mario 74 - Hidden Inside the Labyrinth in 467 tjk113 2022-04-26 | rerecords: 648-3f from gohanie. maybe improvable with better straining / better start angle to walk for 1 less frame, or wk 1f earlier?

[TAS] Scale the Mountain - 1070 tjk113 2022-01-18 | -3f from ToT, Eru, and CSZ (youtu.be/j0nL_p4pxEM). Done by Crackhex and myself. Crackhex saved 2 frames from landing in the water sooner and hitting the wall a frame sooner after the sideflip.

[TAS] The Tip Top of the Huge Island (Left Side Triple Strat) - 18.43x tjk113 2021-12-25 | i think holding down and A after clipping through the mountain lets you swim up to the surface faster and therefore longjump earlier (manama told me this awhile back). i forget who originally came up with the left clip clip and left side triple strats, unfortunately, but it wasn't me.
[TAS] Into the Igloo Single Star Ideal Run - 1533 tjk113 2021-12-13 | this inside grabs the star 1f sooner than phantaxx, but ties xcam. definitely improvable.
[TAS] Stomp on the Thwomp Single Star Ideal Run - 1923 tjk113 2021-12-13 | triple jump dive instead of regular triple jump at the end saves a couple frames. maybe you can get better rng on the thwomp and land on it higher up so you avoid moving against the wall of the star platform? idk. i also did a tas with the rta strat ending: youtu.be/MC_yyPc_KYw
[TAS] Big Bob-omb on the Summit (Left Side RTA Strat) - 42.40x tjk113 2021-11-30 | strat originally by kyman and movement alternations to make it more rta-viable by sakdal. saves 0.4 over tabas' bomb king tas (youtube.com/watch?v=_5PYcG-dIKo) and a second over cirumark's ideal run (youtube.com/watch?v=NvDxWp-iOlE). the text scrolling visuals are broken bc of the video plugin (bettergln by madghostek).
