[TA] Studies of a Broken Engine (some breaks, NOT a walkthrough)

An RTA-viable glitch showcase hack by xHF01x. This is tool-assisted. Comments and timestamps below and in the pinned comment.
- Hack download link: www.smwcentral.net/?p=section...
- This hack is extremely well made. It's crazy how much is actually RTA viable with the right setups and I love how this exposes a broader audience to these tricks and glitches.
- Despite this being intended for RTA play, I still had a blast playing this with tools.

Comments:
0:43 At first, for some reason, I didn't think you could make the jump over this muncher.
0:50 That felt intended, but the level just said "No!".
1:05 This spin jump-cancel setup with 1F0 is cute.
1:30 While you don't have to pause the shell though this wall, you can just do it.
2:07 I'm a huge fan of message boxes that make fun of the player, just like this one.
2:10 I thought holding left would just work, but here it just didn't? 2:12 Now it just worked?!
2:21 Good think I don't need p-speed here...
2:40 It's always nice to see people use the yellow shell-less koopa and not just the disco.
3:10 This section has to be the worst on controller.
4:06 I didn't know that ducking also works. Now I do.
4:11 There's probably a more consistent way of doing these zips, but I didn't see it.
4:16 Nice scanline limits.
4:32 It's insane how well this TAS strat lines up.
5:08 I got stuck here for quite a while, mainly because I didn't think this hack would use wall clips.
5:39 Shoutout to Biob: ruclips.net/video/6T3UXU0-5tU/видео.html
5:42 This room is really well made: Collecting the mushroom teaches you that screen scrolling also changes the Lakitu pattern, which then allows you to get the cape.
7:11 It's a shame the spring doesn't quite make it.
7:29 What a creative use of 1F0!
10:04 Armageddon flashbacks intensify...
10:40 oh no...
12:31 Colon Three flashbacks intensify...
12:58 Pointless mushroom is pointless.
14:02 Kruela Mario 2 flashbacks intensify...
14:42 I took me way too long to recall this clip.
14:58 Oh hi, I was already starting to miss this message box.
15:09 ??? (I have no idea what I did here.)
15:37 I was hoping this cataclysm trick would be required here, but it just isn't.
15:55 I took me way too long to find this spot for the shell.
16:11 What a nice use of this mechanic!
16:30 I love how these keys are both there to fill a sprite slot and used to clip far enough into screen 01

I'm glad you played this, this playthrough certainly did not disappoint.

Does anyone know the music track for Cloudy Sky at 2:56?

This video is only 18 minutes long, pay attention.

No, I don't play Final Fantasy.
