[MKW TAS] New Grand Prix/VS Mode Ultra Shortcut on GBA Bowser Castle 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- This is a tool-assisted speedrun. This time will not count on any real-time rankings. Done on Dolphin 5.0 Lua Core with savestates, slowdown, frame advance, Info Display (created by SwareJonge), and input recordings (DTMs).
Disclaimer: This run takes advantage of the analog inputs of the Wii Wheel. In order for this run to be performed in real-time in a playback, pause buffering would potentially need to be used.
Done on VS Mode:
150cc
Easy CPUs
All CPU Vehicles
Aggressive Items
Cut From TT Ultra Flap: -21.209
For many years the idea of ultra shortcuts exclusive to Grand Prix/VS Mode has circulated throughout the MKW TAS scene, and while there have been some GP ultras found in the past (most notably RR and rDKJP), this ultra is by far the most convoluted GP ultra that has been demonstrated (though certainly not the most convoluted ultra in general).
Before I get into the ultra itself, I'd like to clarify something. Yes, there is already an ultra on this track, but 1. this ultra is way faster, and 2. the time trial ultra is soon going to be obsoleted by superhopping, thereby making it an ultra longcut. For those reasons, I decided to look into finding a faster ultra on this track through the use of VS Mode.
VS Mode gives us access to two very powerful tools not present in time trials: items and CPUs. For this run, I found a method that only requires the former. The general idea I started with was to perform a wallclip around the finish line while holding a bullet bill, then using the bullet to redirect my movement in midair to fly into the checkpoint. Eventually I adapted this by adding a star to the equation to get more distance from the wallclip. This method is deceptively tight due to the 95% rule forcing us to go much farther than the 2nd to last CP.
Of course, this poses a challenge. How do we perform a fast enough wallclip while being in a star and while holding a bullet? You can't hold two power items at the same time, much less three. Well, the solution is to not hold the mushrooms or the star. Conveniently, mushrooms and stars are the only two items that can be used without being the held item. The way to do this is to have the item at an earlier point in time and get hit by another item to drop the shroom/star. The most convenient item to do this with is the thundercloud which not only allows you to hold a 2nd item but also allows you to voluntarily drop the item rather than having to hope that a CPU uses a POW or shock at exactly the right time. So, the route goes like this: I start by driving up to the first set of item boxes where conveniently, one of the CPUs gets a thundercloud. I bump into the CPU to steal the thundercloud then drive backwards, manipulating RNG to get triple shrooms from the 10th place box. I get onto the wall and wait for the TC to shock me, at which point I strategically jump of the wall so that two of my shrooms will land on it. From here I drive the rest of lap 1, having some fun while I do it. Once I reach the last set of items, I wait for the CPUs to catch up and get my own thundercloud followed immediately by a star. I drive to the end of the track and get up onto the wall just in time for the TC to shock the star out of me and onto the wall. We now have 2 ground shrooms and one ground star in place. After respawning, I drive back to the last set of items to get a bullet, then drive back to the end of the track where I once again clip onto the wall. The flap starts with me driving into the star to activate it and driving past the two shrooms to reach CP 1, at which point I turn around and use the two shrooms to perform a high clip off the side of the wall. I narrow avoid crossing behind the finish line, and as I'm about to land in the lava, I use the bullet to steer into the checkpoint region far enough back to satisfy the 95% rule. After respawning all I need to do is drive forward since we respawn in the last KCP.
This was a very entertaining run to create, but recording it was pretty terrible since I'm not used to creating the input recordings/DTMs needed to TAS in VS Mode. Somehow I forgot to disable Dual Core and Idle Skipping before starting the run, which makes the CPUs non-deterministic. Additionally, I forgot to enable to no music code or speedometer code before starting the run, so activating those codes would desync it, and since I made the run on 5.0 Lua Core, I couldn't framedump at a high bit rate since DTMs aren't cross compatible with different Dolphin versions, and Lua Core doesn't let you adjust bitrate.
Special thanks to Citrinitas and Xander for helping me remove a few rogue X inputs in the middle of the final run. I was pulling my hair out for hours trying to find a way to remove those. Also thanks to Ejay for helping me with recording. You guys are all the best :)

Jokes on you i have 0 followers and views in tiktok. Youll never find me JK, keep up good work!
TELL THEM JELLO
Why use TikTok anyway 🗿🗿🗿
@@Not_Soggy that’s on Louis wolfe
0:55 i declare this as the greatest taf moment in mkwii
I could not stop laughing the first time. My guy was playing smash bros in Mario kart
Mach bike mains getting bumped online
Funky Kong: (Monkey noises)
Daisy: What do you mean by 'there can be only one top t-
@@appleboy5878 Lmao
He straight up killed Daisy lol
Real easy setup, I think I'm gonna give this one a try online
That was really cool but poor Daisy getting tossed into the pool lol
For anyone confused about what you just watched, it’s just Jellopuff when he gets access to more than just 3 mushrooms
This is pure chaos. It looks like you’re trying to program in a game of snake along side the ultra xD Incredible work
A perfect TAS doesn't exi-
This has to be the best TAS since the game came out. I don’t know what I just witnessed lmao
This was the most chaotic mkwii video I've ever seen and I am all for it
thats awesome! awesome job finding a new way on creating a flap of 12 seconds
OMG the Daisy at 0:57 i burst out laughing irl
then the headshot on Baby Luigi oh my lord
The way you were able to toss around other players was crazy
0:57 when you play a lightweight character online
New jellopuff upload I don't want to miss this
DAMM that was insane. I caught what you were doing with the star drop, but finding this is insane
omg this is awesome!!! super creative :D and i loved the freeplay leading up to it haha :) you guys are really really incredible please keep it up!
“It’s not enough that I should succeed, others should fail” -random senior quote
This video is so insanely fun there just arent enough words ro describe how good it is
This might be the most insane set up I’ve ever seen for an ultra. Wow.
This is so cool
the biggest "screw you" that you can express in mario kart 0:55
I tried looking over the description a few times, and I couldn't find any reason why you absolutely bodied Daisy like what did she ever do to you bro
This has to be the best tasing video I've ever seen. Keep em coming !
The things people do to skip a lap
this was absolutly insane, people really reached this level of gameplay. wow
WHAT? THAT ULTRA SHORTCUT WAS INSANE! So unique! I loved the setups for the ultra shortcut, and the TAF before and after the ultra shortcut.
I know what an RKG is, but what’s a DTM?
It's like another way to store inputs for tases on dolphin I think.
@@Ragemodepigeon ah ok
@@lowercaseletters_ DTMs are the files used to create TASes from power on in Dolphin. Given the right Config settings, DTMs allow you to create deterministic and repeatable runs. RKGs are exclusive to Mario Kart Wii and are effectively just the inputs the games stores to your ghost. Since GP and VS mode don't have RKG support and I need the CPUs and items to be the same every time, I had to use DTMs to make this run, and I did some of the settings wrong so it was harder than it really should have been :/
@@Jellopuff_TAS oh that makes sense. Do you get the same RNG every time such as CPUs and items with the DTM?
@@lowercaseletters_ If your Dolphin settings are correct, yes! :D
This is the best return I've ever seen
this is the first tool assisted mkwii video that i would honestly describe as badass! i mean he absolutely annihilated everyone in insane fashion using big brain strategy while STILL staying on track like come on is that epic as shit or what!? bravo! 👏
also SICK ultra!
This just made my day thank you ❤😂
probably the most chaotic scene I've ever bore witness to
i love it lmao
also that intro is sick
-totally isnt just because im a celeste player-
(why is RUclips having a RUclips moment)
i was definitely confused when i saw the b side opening but yeah that’s amazing
@@Terra1149 I use that intro for all of my new videos now. Normally the text says the name of the background music and credits the composer (like the screen does for the B-sides in Celeste), but since I forgot to enable the no music code before making this run, I couldn't use custom music, so I just did a mini rant instead lol
@@Jellopuff_TAS epic
this is absolutely the BEST TAF I EVER SEEN.. how did you even do this?? how did you manipulate the RNG? i tried doing different moves but i still get the same item box, and the cpus.. thats insane.. And i haven't found any video of it yet :(
This is absolutely nuts
best thing i've seen all day
Why did daisy have to catch a stray like that 😭
Look it was an accident I swear
She dared to invade his meta
This is hilarious 😂
ok funky kong we get it, you're the meta, not daisy
most peaceful bc3 race
sickest flap ever
convinced you j took the piss killing daisy like that lol
I'm in absolute awe
Now that's an ultra shortcut
Alternative title: Funky Kong asserts dominance
This was the best thing I have watched today I laughed so many times lol
This was awesome! I’ve preformed some pretty exceptional times like this myself! 😁😁😁
Never let them know your next move
Funky kong gets bored and decides to bully his opponents
This is the greatest thing I've seen in my life, and it only took me the whole video to figure out what the frick I was watching
woahh this is insane!!
0:55 got me laughing my ass off that was Fucking hilarious
That's so crazy! I'm in awe
Also tf did Daisy do to you to deserve that?! Lmao (honestly kinda fire how you were able to toss her)
She dared to invade his meta
I'm getting a stroke from watching this
This is such a cool TAF and TAS
daisy💀
When you hand your older brother the controller:
2:00
The BC3 Ultra 😂 nah i’m dead
This is amazing!
such a great watch
this is insane
RIP Daisy
That was one of the greatest thing I've ever seen
I don't even know what i just watched but it was beautiful
Your driving is crazy!
Wheezing at 0:55 but poor Daisy
Almost 4k subs
I guess Funky kong really hates daisy huh
10.000 IQ
R.I.P Daisy
This is crazy good job!
They're just a really good bagger.
the daisy lol
genius
the setup was just crazy
you could probably do this faster with multiple players, like for example, a 2 player VS mode game where one controller sets up the glitch while the other controller drives and does it on lap 3
This is true, but there's two issues with this
1. I knew this wouldn't require multiple players, and for that reason I opted not to because...
2. TASing a 2 player VS mode TAS, in my case, would require TASing using two different controllers at once which is awkward as hell to try to do. I like making VS mode TASes entertaining since there aren't a lot of them out there, but since TASing with two physical controllers is a nightmare, it would sacrifice the quality of both player's driving. That being said, there very well may be some ultras that specifically require two or more players to perform, and I have some ideas that I'll be trying in the future.
You're a legend
Took bulling CPUs to a whole new level lmfao
He straight up killed Daisy lol
I need more of this in my life
0:56
ultimate disrespect to daisy
insane
My confusion is inmesurable and my brain is ruined
Funky really just dumped daisy that hard ☠️
Wow
This is crazy!
Tik Tok 🚫
wow. im amazed
Bro with Daisy 💀
What u did to daisy looked personal
0:55 Th-The metas...They're m-MERGING!?!!?
can't wait to do this in some online races
Wait is this actually faster for the 3lap or just flap? Now I wanna see a tas of the 32 tracks speedrun, imagine all the item jank possibilities waiting to be discovered! Great tas
Bro was out for blood 💀
0:56 LOL
I am losing my mind
Bro WHAT!!!
let him cook
seems viable for rta 32 track any%
Yeah you right
rip daisy
How can u even tas this? After all theres always an element of randomness right?
DTM files allow for deterministic runs, making VS Mode TASes possible!
yoinky sploinky
So lit
