The description contains a lot of useful information regarding questions you may have so be sure to read it all! The biggest differences between this video and a future version using updated strats is of course the definition of the A button challenge including optimising A hold frames before time and the potential for 5 more A presses being saved from TTC, BitFS, and LLL. These changes would switch up the route completely and so the order of courses and stars you see in this video would be suboptimal. That being said, what Wade said about time spent on this is true. He’s been working on this project for a while (hence why he used a route from March that didn’t include A hold optimisation, had 19xA instead of 14xA, and made several bad decisions that you can probably spot if you watch the whole thing), so even though you may not think this video should exist, it’s a very big undertaking and he’s done an extremely good job getting all these clips together and ensuring continuity accuracy where possible.
Secret of the aquarium being first will always be funny to me. No easy 0xA stars to ease into the run. Starts with an almost hour long star strat that involves 3 levels and quite advanced techniques lmao
tbh, it may not be a bad way to start it. dont want to waste time doing other levels, only to get to SOTA and mess up halfway through te strat :D plus A press runs arent your typical thats for sure!
@@johnnyedson25 lol you know this is TAS right so they can’t mess it up? Also secret aquarium needs to be first because if it isn’t you wouldn’t get the textbox at the slide and the start doesn’t work
just found this video. I had no ideia there was a demonstration run of the entire abc. I think it would be cool for future videos to have an input viewer, to show how crazy this is, as well as an A button counter. Looking forward to future videos
Gotta disagree, bobombs are just the basis of so many strats in comparison that I can't imagine how many extra A presses would be required if they didn't exist
Pannen dropped 3 videos that shaved off 3 A presses. Incredible to see what the community is working on for years. -this also means this is now obsolete-
Thanks! The thing in BitFS was setting the HOLP for BitS. There was a pretty obvious cut there because no one has tased BitFS reds while setting the HOLP. If you have any more questions on how it works, ask in the questions channel in the abc and tasing discord server.
Completely forgot what we were doing getting bowser in the dark without the reds done first. Took me forever to realize this was all for the no PU secret aquarium.

could have done well with an A Press counter, but hey, it works for now, even with the jank. I thought editing life/star counts would be easy enough to just do for all the .m64s, as it shouldn't affect anything like RNG? Or maybe that's not a thing? Regardless, good work. Certainly more than what the 120 star crew has accomplished so far (I'm only partially joking)
Hi Wade7! I recommend when you upload a up-to-date version from now on, that you hide the star (and/or life) count and overlay it with what it should be? Thank you.
Yeah, it is. Although instead of splicing everything together in premiere pro, I’m going to only make 1 m64 file and use a lua script to change the rng and global timer so everything still syncs up. The final TAS is expected to be ~20 hours long, and encoding could take up to 80 hours because I can only realistically get around 8 fps when encoding with a lua script running.
@@Wade7_ It'll be very interesting to see the new full game ABC with the newest A press saves, but I will pray for your computer (and the hope that it won't get outdated like really really fast)
@@ANGH3LL1C420 I hope it won't be outdated soon either. I don't think there are any a press saves on the horizon that would change the route too much. Even if I have to resync everything because of an a press or major time save, it won't be that bad because there are tools to automate rng syncing. There aren't any tools to automate manually recording and video editing segments.
@@Wade7_ That's fair enough I guess, I just hope that the method you're planning on using will help save time on future re-records when those A press/major time saves arrive, because with people like Pannen, it's not a matter of if, but when.
I just had an idea for a tas of this game that would be neat. So the idea of it is that you are only getting stars which don't cause you to exit the stage. (I.E: 100 coin, toad, and mipps stars.) Tell me what you think.
According to the route I used, it would take around 20 hours. However, some stars were improved and have not been changed on the sheet, so the actually time is less. The incorrect times have comments pointing out the incorrect times. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yssoTbplI_42LgjTbERd6UuSt0gaI0iOtp-5muS5hKw/edit#gid=1232400975
@@Wade7_ some stars were actually overcorrected for timesave and also some new strats will take a longer amount of time (e.g. BitFS, TTC). For the 19xA route somewhere between 20 (lower bound) and 28 (upper bound) hours is a better representation
@@Kierio04 I'm thinking two TASBOTs, one in the middle of the hyperspeed punching when the event starts, the other TASBot plays up to hyperspeed punching, let the two synchronize, then the first TASbot is timed to finish hyperspeed punching and continue the route...
at 16:36, what is the method used to gain height to get the chest star? in this (ruclips.net/video/8raLW11g-M0/видео.html) video from pannen about the 19 remaining A presses (16 now) but its still relevant, that star is listed as A press number one, but that doesn't look like an A press.
“Optimize for frames holding A“ is not part of the original challenge, and should not be considered. I understand the practicality, because it looks forward to an eventual zero A press success, but for the purposes of a TAS it shouldn’t matter.
If the frames holding A aren’t optimized, then once the first A press is done, A can just be held for the entire rest of the challenge, only releasing it for one frame every time a full A press is needed. I personally think that holding A for the entire run isn’t really in the spirit of the challenge when the goal is to not use the A button if it can be prevented.
Yo, I know you've probably gotten this question asked to you at least a thousand times but do you think you'll ever try to remake this insane compilation now that the A Press count is at a staggering 13 now?
I’ve gotten this question every time the a press count is lowered lol. But yes, there is one in the works. Right now I’m waiting for a comparable route to be developed. I’m also going to improve the visuals with an a press counter and an input display. We plan to have it done by the end of the year.
You can always recover from a dive, (not a slide kick tho, you need A for that) with B in sm64. I’m not sure about the DS version, so this could be true for that version.
