I've seen amusing TAS videos many times over, but this just breaks my mind.

I'm amazed no one has (yet) found a way to beat SM64 without defeating Bowser those first two times.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

Wow, that was pretty amazing. There's got to be a way to beat the game without fighting the first two Bowsers.
Luigison: Question everything!
Me: Why?

That's basically what I just said. ;)

I don't understand how you could do that in the first place.
What's your problem, Cambodian?

Well, it IS tool-assisted.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to beat it without beating Bowser every time, because there isn't a way to get into the two other sections of castle without keys. The different parts of the castle are different maps and the pointers only work if you use a key, i.e. not if you just touch the inside of the door.
That was a joke.

I always think it's posible to steer Mario into this door with a keyhole by lobby glitch... But here is another great method! YAY

I'll take a look at it tonight. This dial-up connection isn't exactly YouTube-friendly...

Anyway, I don't think glitching through the locked door to the second floor would do any good as I'm sure you'd end up in a blank room similar to the one behind the front door of the castle that you can get to if you were to run through a certain wall.

In other words, the spiral staircase has it's own screen as opposed to, say, the rooms for Bob-omb Battlefield, Whomp's Fortess, etc...

It said at the beggining it was tool assisted, meaning he used a cheat or hacking device. ToadsTool is one of them, there are others he could've used though.

No, tool-assisted means that an emulator with re-record capability was used to perfect the control inputs sent to the game.  This means that everything that happens in the game would be possible on a real machine if the player was perfect/a robot/God.
It specifically does not mean hacking programs.

Pretty impressive, and more entertaining to watch than the 1-star run, especially by cutting out Dry Dry Docks. Now, if only they could find another 48 seconds to shave off, they'd get the time below the SMB time.

Y'mean, Dire, Dire Docks? Yeah, that part was cool.

I don't quite understand the mechanics behind the backwards long jump, though.

Tool-assisted means he used an emulator with slow-motion and savestate capabilities. Basically, he is playing SM64 in slo-mo and messing up/re-recording.
KOOLO LIMPA!!!

I was more surprised by how effortlessly the guy sped through the Bowser levels. Even with it being tool-assisted, it's amazing that it's possible to get through the worlds that fast. My favorite part was the jumping along the fringe of the lava pool to get to the other side. I always knew you could somehow use that narrow platform.

I'd like to see a similar tool-assisted thing for speeding to the top of Tick Tock Clock.

Well, there's a 120 star speedrun video on the site, which should include Tick Tock Clock.

Well, I got pretty close. On the DS version, I used the tree glitch and beat the game without beating the first Bowser.

(You need have to have the moat not dried for this to work) Well, I used the trick where you dive and you fall so that you're holding the tree with most of your body in the ground. Let go, then you'll be in the water under the ground. Now, swim so that you go under where the door to the basement is. Swim so that you're under that, so that you don't get out of the glitch. Now, swim far until the ground disappears. Now, swim up so that you go behind the steel door. Behold, you're in the basement!

Wait, so it's possible to beat the game with 1 star? How so??

That was amazing!
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

I thought it was going to be the old get-to-the-top-of-the-castle-without-any-stars trick.

I am just disappointed that it was tool-assisted. I like watching pure speed runs, not with assistance.
