TASBot plays Mario Kart Wii presented by dwangoAC in 16:53 SGDQ2019

Alright, so we're ready for shot number two, but before we get to the tango, I have a tass pot donation. tas bot donated three hundred and fourteen dollars and fifteen cents, think about that for a second. The boss of tas says that tas bot, here I do it. go AC would like to thank maleo for leading the efforts on Mario Kart Wii and uni for leading the efforts on Celeste. Join us on discord TAS BOTS to help me choose what to play at agdq 2020, so thank you all so much for helping to donate and with that Let's try it again at the test site with Mario Kart Wii.

Come on, cheer us up. Oh right, we're ready to go. This is going to be very fun. I have to tell you while I see how. things have developed over time, it's been really fun to see the improvements we sent this out in the submissions, we had everything ready in the submissions, but since then we've seen some really amazing improvements. I will take it to maleo if I pronounce that correctly once, yes, maleo is going to introduce the rest of the team, but before he does, I want to go. I want to talk about the console we are using.

This is a completely unmodified console. It is a completely unmodified copy of the disk. The only thing we have. What we did was some cosmetic changes because normally in this game you wouldn't hear any sounds while looking at a ghost. We also added another cosmetic change to add a speedometer. I think that's most of the changes, yeah there are a few things too. which we did to help us get to the next file quickly, you'll notice that I have a rather peculiar appearance, you'll see it a couple of times. I'll pass it on to Molly, oh, and I have to tell you guys.

A great pleasure awaits you. I'm not worthy of commenting on this because it's too crazy, so he'll be in charge and he's done a fantastic job organizing the team. Thank you so much. I'm going to deliver it. to him, okay, sounds good, thanks for the introduction Ango, so my name is Molly, oh come with me hi, I'm Luke, I'm Derek. Art as plasma, together in our community of twenty authors, we organized an 11 track exhibition that we will be showing today, so I think with that everyone is ready to go, okay, three, two, one, all good, so this first one track is Luigi's circuit from the beginning, you'll notice we're using funky.

Kong on the sphere, so of all the characters, Funky Kong has the fastest speed stat and Spears has the fastest vehicle on the track. Yeah, this track was done by uh, this assignment was done by myself, Monster Rocky and Thomas, I think this was done in February. so we're going to take these first two very quick turns to get to this ramp. You'll see that we're going to use a series of quick jumps to reduce our time in the air on this ramp and if you quickly jump forward. In this corner here we can get stuck in the ground and we can lose traction and gain speed as we go down the ground.

It's the same speed as if you were constantly using a mushroom and we can stop jumping. got it off the ground and did a couple of perfect jumps to conserve some of that momentum yeah so the reason this actually works is that very briefly after our jumps there is a two frame window in which the tilt of Your bike is locked in place, so if you jump again during those two frames, you can keep jumping over and over again, you lose traction with the ground and you start sliding and we can use that to build up an incredible amount of speed over time. . and you'll notice that we don't do that is what we call this super job.

We don't do it in lab three because, first of all, the only reason it saves time is because we can carry that higher speed into the next laps. but since this is the last turn, it's not worth going all out to set it up, so it's also worth noting, um, if you lose there for some reason, Nintendo when they program this game, if you bind a ghost, that That's what we're doing, technically we're competing with that ghost, when you tie up a ghost, it just says you lose, I don't know what, so next we have Bowser's Castle in the bag and you may have heard wrong, you say the Lord in a low voice.

Jump, what that refers to is whenever you leave a trick service with the goal of getting the least amount of airtime possible, so you'll see one right here on this first ramp, we'll clip this side of this wall and we'll put and Boost forward also in this wavy and eye area. Here we will optimize it to obtain the least amount of time possible, as well as the stairs of the companies. You see, we will try to stick to them and the reason why this is. Because the airtime in this game is Flo, every time you are in the air your vehicle is constantly decelerating, so to go fast we want to get this little airtime as much as possible and right there you will have noticed that Nintendo has a bad habit of forgetting to add collision to some walls, so we can use the side as a halfpipe to go up to the upper level, which saves about three seconds, so one of those guys is there, you kind of see no.

We don't necessarily look for as many tricks as possible. You will see this wavy path again. Instead we evenly distribute the boosts we get, maximizing the amount of boost time we have instead of searching like a Million Possible Tricks, yeah even though we said the Sphere was the fastest vehicle in the game we're using Flame Runner on this course because Spear has some pretty poor drifting skills, while Flame Runner takes very tight turns and those turns you saw before are pretty tight, so one thing you've probably noticed by now is that every time we move In a straight line we always want to try to be on a wheelie, which is the fastest method of moving.

Every time we try to turn, we use the manual. transmission and we loaded a mini turbo, so a lot of turbos in themselves are not that good, they give you a temporary boost but ultimately they are really beneficial because they allow you to get back to your maximum wheelie speed almost instantly after letting go. the mini turbos yeah the wheelies are a bit broken in this game every time you are on a wheelie or your top speed increases by about 12% so that's actually one of the reasons we won't be using any

kart

s . I only use bikes on these races just for that reason and also just on an emotional level.

I hate cards, they're kind of a garbage vehicle. You may have noticed that we have three transmissions left and his turn three, so we mentioned that he mentioned a fire Hoffa jek Chinon a Ouija circuit is exactly the same principle if you launch your application in the fire center right at the end of that ramp, you it'll push off the ground, you'll get amazing airtime and you'll use it to skip the turn well, so this next track is factory, it was made by Blaze Maleo Luke and myself. Features a newly found bug that was found by Blaze and recently reviewed by Benny at the beginning.

We'll do some wheelies and keep going. We actually slide forward before the race even starts which saves time and then up here is a transporter that speeds you up, if we jump onto the transporter it actually maintains some of that speed so up here is the new error that we are going to cut out. Out of this box, you'll see that Speer is taking some of these corners pretty awkwardly, but go with it, it's just bad drift mechanics, however, we were able to catch that really fast box cycle on the first lap, so we think that Spear is the fastest vehicle in this. level yes, again we mentioned that this is a very new bug that was found recently and the reason why yes, that is the reason we want to show this course is because a lot of these courses that you will see are new.

They are the result of years of optimization and strategic discussion and trying to discover different things, so we thought it was important to show that you know a lot of these threats that are not found on the first try, it takes a long time to develop these methods, so This is what may be an early review of what an optimized course would look like and this course has some interesting challenges because the Box clip is loop based, it's the first loop based course in our game that requires a certain loop to progress, so there are some interesting challenges that come with optimizing this particular course and one thing to note also is that after landing here, we noticed that on the first lap we had a stick on the inside and that was due to Ultimately we barely had to reach the first loop, so our angle after landing isn't as far to the right as we'd like, but luckily on loop three the conveyor belt changes direction so we can take the inside line. and here we can use quick jumps to reduce our time in the air and There's a toast factory, so the next segment we're going to move on to is an ultra-shortcut segment and there's an ongoing theme of ultra-shortcuts in this game.

This test was done by Akari RS, Snoop Jello Puffs, Luke, Thomas and myself. So right off the bat, here we can draw some parallels to the tote factory. We can use a series of wall clips here to get this shortcut, so essentially what we did when making that first wall clip we kept the last checkpoint on the map loaded. at all times, so at any given time there is the checkpoint that you are at the checkpoint in front of you and the checkpoint behind you is always loaded so effectively. What we did was avoid entering the second checkpoint, which means that the last checkpoint of the lap is still there, which means we can get behind the finish line, activate the last checkpoint and the lab will tell you one thing to keep in mind, although you will see in Maple Treeway that we don't necessarily need to get behind the finish line.

I just need to avoid entering the second checkpoint and reach the last checkpoint on the map. Next one, I'll be fine, we're going to show DK Jungle Parkway by Maleo Blaze and Thomas and we'll also use a wall clip. To achieve an ultra shortcut, it will also use an interesting bug called horizontal wall bug and you might ask what is a horizontal wall. Most walls in the game are placed vertically, hence the name wall, and yet Nintendo placed the wall collision in some areas horizontally. So the top of this finish line is actually a horizontal wall and for some reason when you touch a horizontal wall at a specific point it allows you to pass through the walls very briefly so we'll use that to get behind the last point of control.

It's still loaded and it will count the lap, yes, so one of the reasons we wanted to show this course is that there is a very similar bug in Mario Kart 64 that was actually shown in a previous gdq, so there are shades of Mario Kart 64 and Jungle Parkway, but One thing we should point out is why we used Daisy and the simulated bike on that circuit. I mean, at Luigi's circuit. I just finished saying that a funky Hong had the fastest speed stat, but Daisy, in math, is able to take even tighter turns than funky in the flame corridor and that's really the most important thing for DK Jungle Parkway to last turn, so we'll use Daisy here again and continue the theme of horizontal walls and driving through solid walls, so after this.

On the first set of escalators, we can drive the DZ juicer between these two walls. Here, as soon as we hit a horizontal wall and fly through the normally solid escalator wall, we can reach the out-of-bounds parking lot and we will drive continuously to the last checkpoint. the map jump over this wall to get a lap count and back up, these cars don't have a solid collision either because Nintendo never thought you could get out of here, but lo and behold, the hunters figured out how to do this next time. I'll just refer you to your office in Mushroom Gorge.

This test is biased alloy and jelly puffs and can use some interesting physics mechanics in the game using the giant mushrooms that are present on the field, so normally when you bounce off one of these mushrooms, Nintendo is with the intention that you don't land on the ground or road, however if you bounce off a mushroom and land on a wall you will see an interesting effect here, yes, although for some reason the wall maintains the effect of the mushroom bounce effect and you can use some very precise inputs in the air to navigate and reach the last checkpoint count frequently, so this Taz is a grumbling volcano, it was made by Thomas swear and Doofenshmirtz, it will be in the oldest glitch in the world.

The game was found two months after the game was released. We're using Toad and Quacker here for their very high acceleration stats. Most of the Taz just drives around this rock and counts laps, so we want to be able to slow down very quickly and then use. our mushrooms and pointstactical like here and at the end, so the next track we go to is a maple path. This was the first task we did at the beginning of 2019 and I think it's a great example of the benefits. collaborative tax because there were six authors that worked on this Thomas Rocky, I swear by me, Luke and rs, so this clue has an ultra shortcut that I mentioned very briefly before, so the first thing we're going to try to do is go out of bounds on the side of this, but the finish line passes the finish line to enter the first checkpoint and we're going to try to land back on the runway without going through the second checkpoint and we can cut back here and reach the cannon so as effective as we have done.

What we've just done is we've kept the last checkpoint on the map loaded, which means we can completely cut out the tree section and just take a direct path to the end of the track and it will actually count our laps, One of the reasons I love this course is because it shows how useful wall clips can be and the type of variability ball clips you saw, maybe in some of your other courses we use wall clips to gain a lot of height, however, depending on how you hit them in the position you are in when you hit them, they can change their effect, so sometimes we can use them to rappel longer distances to gain height and as you will see, when climbing here, If you do what is called a turn, it will give us some horizontal momentum and that pair of walls maintains it as well, it's something in this tree that will help us gain more air time, so in this canyon you will see that we also cut right before entering , which means we'll have fewer pipes coming out so we can realign more for this jump. more quickly, like I said, there were six authors working on this and this was the first really great example of a new higher standard for

mario

kart

wii tasks, able to send the time trial back and forth between different people via a more efficient complete one. clue very well, then the next clue we will show, we have actually been keeping the secret from the community until now.

DK Stone has a glitch and it also means that the cup of flour is the first clue to have a glitch. on every track so this was done by zack jello puffs Luke, myself RS Luigi m CF Akari Thomas Marth and rocky so 11 people. First I like to reiterate the properties of the quick jump. If you quickly jump off a ramp, you can get reduced airtime if you quickly jump on the ground, you can increase speed if you quickly jump up to the zippers, this can happen, you can fly straight through the wall after landing with a trick zipper, you can actually go through the snow pad, you have some invulnerability frames there, you can take this double cut and for the zipper we want to try to be on a wheelie as long as possible, not necessarily try to gain as much height, yeah , so one of the reasons why there are There are 11 authors for this course.

There are certain borderline pixel perfect tricks in this game that are very difficult to optimize on our own. We often have to waste milliseconds intentionally because you can end up skipping the pixel you need to be on. The tricks are very difficult, that's why there are many contributors and also these pixel perfect tricks are the reason why we can't just copy our inputs every turn and save ourselves a lot of time. Yes, indeed you have to treat each lap as if it were a unique race and that is a great thing because, knowing 11 authors for this track, this track has many scenarios where we have to have pixel perfect tricks and be able to have a group of different people you know to try out their own ideas.

To try to make these pixel perfect scenarios happen, it allows you to traverse these tracks much more efficiently and yes, we can remove the analog stick here to realign the double cut after we leave that ramp and that's the top of DK. Wow it makes me so happy to finally have that bug in the tract, yes I know it's very satisfying so the last track is fitting, for you guys like Rainbow Road this was made by RS and Luke so yeah right away You will see an interesting strategy. is comparable to a super grind in the sense that you want to lose traction with the ground, so we'll jump on the edge here and type it so that we don't have traction with the ground to generate some momentum, so When you get to the edge of the ramp, you'll have completely missed that turn and this approaching figure-eight section, but there are also some interesting walls that you don't actually crash into, but instead get pushed back.

So we can abuse that by simply hitting in a certain way that propels us forward. As you can see, we're in momentum for most of this course, so there's no good place to use your mushroom except here because of the cannons. We leave you at a very low speed, so we want to accelerate as fast as possible there and then here we jump this chasm and then we do a quick low trick around the fence during the second lap. I like to name each author. That helped me work on this myself Luke TAS plasma monster Rocky Thomas swear jelly puffs RS Michi this LOI Delta Luigi M Zack C F Akari

plays

the new Doofenshmirtz and Mars to a lot of people, but it really shows that you know how great our community. people that we have in our community that have been able to contribute, it has been a pleasure to work with all of you over the years, also, I would really like to thank, I would like to thank, highlight a list of announcements to be created through the cosmetic. codes we have used here I would really like to thank Dwango for allowing us to show this often that games are made fast for inviting us.

Thank you very much and we will leave you with this. This is the Rainbow Road ultra shortcut that we can fly. with this wall jump over the fence to turn around use the two remaining mushrooms to barely land on the last ramp of the track and time is divided into three two once everyone is standing behind me this is incredible that is even more Mario Kart Wii that we have for you today before we close this. I want to say a couple of quick things. Maleo took the lead in organizing everything. The reason I was able to sit back and relax for the first time is because he took care of all the work.

After organizing everyone, he took on the effort of gathering all the comments. A great credit goes to him. I would like, yes, yes, let's applaud him one more time. One last thing to say about the community: it's amazing. I have to do it. I say working with these guys has been really nice and kind of fun. Mario Kart, we outsold Mario Kart 8 by five to one last year. This community is active. Is incredible. Feel free to get involved. Where can they do it? So you can consult the tool. assisted speed races for Mario car at mkw task.com and for RTA oh where could they go to buy time travel food?

I think there are also some forums and places you can go, there is a thriving YouTube community and also for the game, a lot of the world records are posted on a YouTube channel so all you have to do is go to YouTube, search for it and there will be ways to enter the community. It's huge, it's booming, it's been 11 years and it's still going strong. It's definitely worth it. absolutely getting involved and with that I'm going to close this, we're about to start what you've been waiting for and what you paid for why see celeste, all the berries are coming next, okay this is the railway and I'm I'm here to give you an important message after Celeste, we are going to have Dark Souls and a lot of you are still excited and making a lot of donations and there is a big donation incentive for the Dark Souls bug expo that needs $48,000 to run so now. who met Celeste and many of you are still sending lots of wonderful donations, why don't you spend those donations on that Dark Souls glitch exhibit?

What is that message? We're going to take a short advertising break and I'll be back shortly for more testing. Alright, everyone welcome back. I see a couple of the Mario Kart Wii kids are still in the room, so I want to read this one before they leave our houses. They donated $100. Greetings from the Mario 64 Test and The console gaming community is very excited to see our TAS-bought overlords play Tetris and tear through Mario Kart Wii, but we have to get that light blue one with all the berries, let's see how those donations they become exaggerated and you fulfilled that donation incentive.

Brilliant. work out there, but we need to try harder for that Dark Souls glitch showcase. We have a couple quick messages from the sponsor to review and we'll be right back. How many years have I waited? Warrior of Light from Darkness Rated T for Teen one of Our other big sponsors for this event are Best 5s by, which offers exclusive limited-run physical games, including the latest and Toejam and Earl Best Buys, the destination for everyone Nintendo's Twitch and PC gaming needs for ps4, Xbox one, If you pre-order Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield at Best Buy you can get $10 in rewards Pre-order Bloodstained Rituals at Night at Best Buy and get an exclusive metal case you can pre-order cyberpunk 2077 FS on one of the three exclusive steelbooks I have $100 of let fire rain down and they say incredible tasks were executed, it seems that Celeste is funded and you are right sir, thank you very much for the donations that came in right after we met Celeste.

I have a Yeti donation, are you ready to hear how much it costs? We have thirty thousand dollars from Eddie, this came right after we learned about this last donation, instead we didn't even need Yetis' donation to do that great work. Everyone who pushed for it and says: Hello to all the Yeti here because If it's thanks to your support, we are happy to announce that we have raised $100,000 for Doctors Without Borders. Congratulations on unlocking that celestron tas bot. You all are amazing. Come on, thank you very much and thank you to everyone who has surpassed that mark. dark high tech donated $25 says save the frames kill the strawberries here is the task jar surrounded by Celeste we have some nice donations coming for Dark Souls go check the shipping but we have a little further to go we have broken the $13,000 frames, We need $47,000 to go and I have 111 dollars and 11 cents as the verb when they say it is always darker before the soul.

I have $50 worth of medicinal carrot and they say the homework robot is how I was introduced to GQ, so it's appropriate. I make my first donation during the homework block thanks for the great event and hard work everyone and thank you very much for your donation of medicinal carrot. I have five dollars from Stefy Downs that says greetings from Austria. I have been watching gdq for five years and I can. I can't get enough, what an amazing tas segment, especially with Celeste, thank you for such an incredible event, thank you so much for your donation, it's a good time to reinforce that it doesn't matter how much you have to donate, even those five dollar donations to help us. get them in big groups sometimes and it really helps boost our total so thank you to everyone who has donated and if you can't afford to donate right now just post some links tell people that in the social networks give us the donation. people's links to the stream tell them what's going on because this latest tas run is going to be over the top.

The $30 donated by the chef says I don't even play Dark Souls, but since I have less mice, Dark Souls fans deserve a fail run. Wow, I have $35 from this username that is pronounced n and I was fooled because their donation says that if you read the entire username you pronounced it wrong, congratulations and congratulations for getting this incentive from Celestron, so let's put an end to those glitches Dark Souls, but mostly congratulations to ms f4 for providing a critical service to people in need around the world and it's a good time to remind everyone that you're watching the Summer Games click 2019 live from Bloomington Minneapolis in Minnesota and that we are benefiting doctors without borders. without borders, also known as MSF, is an independent international humanitarian medical organization that provides emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, natural disasters, exclusion from medical care in more than 70 countries in 2018, on one day Anyone, thousands of people representing dozens of nationalities can be found providing assistance to people caught in crises around the world their doctors nurses logistics experts administrators epidemiologists laboratory technicians mental health professionals and others working together according to the guiding principles MSF's humanitarian action and medical ethics organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999 so thank you to everyone who has donated to this fantastic cause so far and to everyone who will be donating during the rest of the event.Well, I have $25 from mr.

Vox says greetings from Norway sitting at 8 2 a.m. m. just to catch the task block and let's do the Dark Souls glitch showcase and lastly, hello, those Dark Souls donations are coming in and at this point I have $10 worth of Astra bodies. he says let the Dark Souls glitch fest begin. I love the amount of Dark Souls. There is no this GDQ. Hello from the Big Apple. Alright, guys. I heard you like word games. I have $50 from Jay Kyle Pitman, who says if we all work together to reach the goal. Failed Dark Souls showcase is that joyous co-op donation, your hate fuels me, a $50 multi-hits donation says it was hard, but I managed to keep my eyes off the Mario Cart, I was asked to donate an amazing part of the marathon, thank you very much . for that $50 I have a $25 donation from an anonymous donor who is afraid they are talking to someone in particular they say Tyler I am doing my part to get the donor's Dark Souls incentives now it's your turn too audience I have $50 from the leak link for example , says I settle a place, I give money to TAS, all the hair, all glorious Mr.

Robot. I have $125 from Lancashire McGee, who says that every year the homework block gives me life. Thank you very much, you did not disappoint this year, it is not over yet, stay tuned. we have this latest run that you all donated for and everyone who donates invoices for the task block will love it. Please include those donations for upcoming donation incentives. We're making pretty good progress on the Darksouls glitch showcase, but if that's not your goal. cup of tea we have a lot of other things for you to donate we have some bidding wars especially for dark souls the final choice the player name there is majora's mask file name pokemon let's start star name means rapidash name is name from rival There are tons of things you can donate for.

If you go to the donation page, you'll see all the things you can put your donations toward and everyone is doing it right now. Why not put it toward something on that list? As a reminder, we currently have several great prizes you can donate. We have Alienware Aurora, our AAPC, which is a cumulative donation of $150. Many of you who made good donations here will be eligible for that, but if you're holding back, maybe it's a good incentive for you to donate now that we have the svq 2019 banner photo zomes, we have the Celeste portrait cross stitch, and many Other prizes for you to win right now, plus the Highland Master Sword and Shield Grand Prize, which is a cumulative donation of $200 for the latter and there are plenty of things you can enter the cells to win.
