I think the entire point of this TAS is to show that 3-star runs are possible without ever drifting, and most of the people complaining just didn't get it.
Ah, Mission Mode. One of the reasons I loved Mario Kart DS. I know these racing games are meant to be enjoyed multiplayer, but I really wish another Mario Kart did something like this again.
How did I only just now realize that the Chain Chomp race mission uses the Chain Chomp music from Double Dash?? I swear I had no idea it was even in the games files until now!
Actually, Mario Kart DS took some points from Double Dash such as the tracks, character portraits etc, and the game was once planned to use the Bowser Shell and Chain Chomp but they got removed in the final game.
2 Years ago, I always thought"TAS" was a Tool Assisted Speedrun and I criticise this video for it, but now 2 Years afters today, I realise "TAS" can be a different meaning. "Tool Assisted Superplay", and for someone to get triple stars on every mission in one try is quite impressive. It might not always be about going fast but this is a good Tool Assisted play right here.
It's impressive but not really. If it's TAS'd then everything is either planned out already or slowed down to essentially double the amount of inputs. There's also no RNG so this can easily be done non-TAS'd.
@@AGZhark yeah, I was referring to Luigi's Mansion. It doesn't appear to happen anywhere else. I believe the crash is coupled to an issue with Luigi's Mansion specifically because the crash doesn't occur in the kiosk demo which was based off of the E3 2005 build of MKDS. This crash only happens in the final build; after a litany of small changes were made to the gameplay and tracks in the game.
people saying this is a bad tas are kinda dumb because its not one of those tases where you try to get the fasest time, if it was it wouldve been obvious, but its implied that you can get 3 stars without drifting (for certain levels)
Man it's so sad how they took away mission modes in other games of Mario Kart to come... I REALLY think they could pull off a fun "Story mode" for a Mario kart game with a big overworld to drive around in like Diddy Kong Racing.
Huh. This being a TAS, I sorta expected it to be... crazier? Given the lack of a description I'm kinda confused as to what the purpose of this is, since it looks like it hasn't been fully optimized. Not that I would know though, since I don't TAS Mario Kart DS myself.
Omg! Another Anthony Jones TAS! I love watching this guy’s TAS videos! I watched his entire Mario and Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story TAS, I think he did a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon one too, he makes the best! Mario Tennis Power too was another!
i'm less concerned with the speed of this TAS than everyone else here, the only thing keeping me from watching the entire thing was that it was incredibly mundane.
In each of those missions where I'd have to beat my opponent, I always enjoyed waiting at the finish line, then accelerating when I thought I needed to
Maybe people should've realized this was a TAS that showed that its possible to get a time this big without snaking AT ALL. It's easily see-able. The other thing is that it tried to pull drifting the most few times as it could. This is also easily see-able. I don't understand why people aren't getting this at all really.
in real time this is one second faster than my Personal Best time of 43:44 (selecting first mission to crossing the line on wiggler). and this is with frame perfect menuing. kind of a joke lol.
I don't see you claiming anywhere that these are the fastest times possible and they for sure aren't. But some things are incredibly precise, so I wonder what the goal of this run actually is
If: tas then: hyper optimized and as fast as possible. No one wants to see what a human can easily do. The point of making a tas is to execute humanely impossible button combinations and moves that grant several advantages for the computer playing back your inputs. This is obbiously trying to get the tas reputation by not rerecording 500000 times to achieve his goal.
TAS can also mean Tool-Assisted Superplay. A lot of the SM64 freeruns from back in the day still had the TAS label on them, but by no means were they speedruns
This needs snaking, it's not really optimizing the game at all. I practiced the category briefly this week and have essentially tied this / beat it by a second, and I'm not an elite player on this game, and this was with a lot of mistakes too. Should never be the case with a TAS imo. The frustrating thing is this category has a lot more potential if you were to use some of the faster strategies.
Who the hell gives a fuck if they aren't Drifting? Pretty sure this TAS is supposed to be a 3-star run with drifting when it's needed (I.E the drifting missions or when it's a more viable choice than turning normally) Stop whining over the lack of Drifting.
This isn't a TAS. A TAS is a tool-assisted speedrun, where you use external programs and savestates to beat a game as quickly as possible. This is a TAP, a tool-assisted playthrough. It's not as fast as possible, but it IS tool-assisted.
You miss typed TA as this is just tool assisted run and not a TAS. I must say that you put a lot of effort into making the video and completing all of the challenges but you should have just optimized a short part of the challenges and done multiple videos -.-

Fun fact: Mission Mode was planned for Mario Kart Wii and in fact, the mode’s still in the game’s files!
I think it got replaced by tournaments/competitions instead. They were fun, but I would've preferred just a mission mode.

Nowhere does it state that it's a driftless run.
It could be that its just I with the least possible of that.
If that were the case, then he could've put that in the description.
I think maybe the point of this TAS is to get 3 stars on the missions by doing the bare minimum.
Yup

theyre often called tool assisted powerplays to differentiate the two

@@MaxxyBee Oh.
@@Gamesmarts194 I suppose that's true. There was no missions that involved rng.
Nah, this definitely isn’t a TAS
I'd at least put in the description:
"Snakeless/Driftless speedrun unless required by the Mission"
5:45 he drifts in this mission tho
And at the goomboss fight
And at 15:50, 17:35, 19:48
And you arent required to drift in those missions
@@intelligent1964 Then we shall consider it snakeless :)

Its still 9 seconds slower then the human record

Anthony, if you had just added "driftless" to your video title, I think people would've appreciated this run a lot more!
I think "fewest drifts" is a better title, as he has to drift in some missions. Or perhaps "human theory".

Feels like the stars were used a bit too early on Mario Circuit and you ended up hitting offroad a bit - but you still got 3 stars so it's no biggie
