I love how Lakitu hesitated to drop you infront of the castle and decided it was better to leave you at the goal

One of the tools are save states, which allows you to get the desired outcome of any random event. There are no hacks/cheats involved.

and he never listens...

[@weatherton]

I took advantage of an error on the right side of the finish line. There is a small polygon that considers itself to be the beginning of your current lap, rather than the end. For the moment that I manipulate my item, I am over that spot (and the game considers me to be in 8th place). This is also possible on Koopa Troopa Beach. If you go slowly, you can watch it happen, but I went so quickly that you can't even see the change onscreen.

Come on, you can do this, you will win that race. -after the first turn- Bowser's race engineer per team radio: Yoshi crossed the finish line, the race is over. You are p2, nice job mate! Great result for the team, maybe we can also catch Yoshi next time. Bowser: o_O

Thats the most epic Royal Raceway run I have seen. Period.

[@rye2]

yeah that jump from the bridge to flag in the second lap was amazing

[@basildragoness]

He did this by performing a TAS technique called 'Luck manipulation'. You can find more on one of the many TAS-related sites.

Best Mario Kart TAS of any series.

[@Intrufusion]

@Michedono this is tool assisted, which means he can set the game's time back, whenever he gets an item, he sets time back till he gets a mushroom.

[@Knuckx117]

this must have been an early N64 Emulator because the Thwomps have messed up textures.

I forgot about this because right now when he does the cups the shortcuts are different but 12 years ago the shortcuts look really different on 150cc

[@Link500ACS]

tool assisted run. he used a program to slow down, and rewind the game frame by frame to basically pull off everything here perfectly, IDK how often someon using one of these things has to rewind the game and each part to achieve the desired result, but it definitely has to be a lot.

[@RockStoneLee19]

On Wario Stadium, WTF?!

i think the guy who made this video with the static is a re-made so that means this video was upload on 2008 but the description said it was made in 2007 so yeah , this audio video was propably fixed already.

It really does appear to be. I wasn't lying when I said it wasn't present in the original video file! Glad KZbin finally got their transcoding fixed :)

[@itz_dinkleberg]

@ANTIQUELEGEND82 when he is using the TAS like that, it can use slow-downs to make it happen every time

[@rcalebvines]

it's called luck manipulation. the order and time of every button press in a game influences the psuedorandom number generator, determining "random" events. if you manipulate luck correctly by pressing the right buttons at the right times you'll always get the items you want

[@capitalvol69]

Not really, TAS is more like the person playing can slow down the game to make frame by frame decisions and can go back and try things again if they mess up with save states. They still actually have to be able to do all of the glitches.

[@izzybenton3860]

I’m pretty sure anybody could possibly do that but was really really good Percision

[@austinha11]

my god.. how do people figure these out?

[@thk573]

@jazztonish It's called luck manipulation, something that's common in TAS. All he does is press the button when he knows he's going to get the mushroom (or the item that he needs atm.) and if he doesn't get it he just re-loads the savestate and changes his timing.

[@Snowpoison455]

Guys tas means it was a computer playing... Not him

[@saigadreamcast]

@MrToiletclogger its just timing idk about jumping off luigis head but the wall thing you can do

[@KazikaroInei7550]

Weatherton is the Drift King of Mario Cart!

[@FishamanP]

Tool Assisted Speedrun. It's played frame-by-frame with savestates, rewind, etc. for pure entertainment, not to show skill. BUT NO CHEATS. So, everything in this video could be done on an actual N64 if you found a skilled enough player, but good luck.

[@petrolekh]

Holy moly, those fucking skills on Royal parkway..

[@BrianTheChosen1]

0:42 Damn mad skills using the R button to jump lol

[@NectarinoMo]

Lakitu thought Yoshi was too heavy and said, FUCK IT I'm putting you at the finish line I'm not carrying you anymore.

[@smithfrancois604]

Whoever's playing the game is good at it and good at glitches

[@yoshiboy6198]

And they did it in a tool assisted speedrun which means they can slow it down and play frame by frame and rewind time to have as many goes as they need.

[@Drflash55Official]

1:20 Yoshi used Bowser as a spring to get to the other side of the course! LOL!

[@meilui4342]

[@dntn31]

RRa = quite possibly the most epic thing I've ever seen. I remember watching this in Virginia and everyone going completely ape-**** when they saw RRa. Also, the SL jump is pretty ridiculous. 5 stars.

[@OhDeeDoubleYou]

how did he keep getting mushroom in the item boxes o_O

[@eddiethehead4791]

He cheated

[@bagettistudios]

I wonder why they made Yoshi only do the sound when Mario goes on his back? That was very unrelated...

[@kokichioma1901]

WTF YOU ARE CRAZY SPEED RUNNING

[@SuperNickid]

there is another track in mario kart 64 call Frappe Snowland, that is possible to do that and it is much easier, however you only skip half a lap. In Frappe Snowland there is a shortcut that allow to skip a lap, the only 2 issues with the skip one lap is with player 2 and player 4, if they do not press b when lakitu put them back on bridge they will fall right throught it even if you succesfuly made the glitch, you will be place in front of the line and still get lap count.....

[@Rko453]

just imagine how pissed he would be if he got nailed by a blue shell

[@IAmXero1]

Please Note that from 0:01 To 0:40 is ALL ONE RACE!

[@Seany1616]

@MediaMunkee is that like where, no matter how much you get inront of your opponents theyll ALWAYS catch up to you, no matter WHAT? unless you tas.

[@gonxmaster]

My older broder taught me the Warip's Stadium first jump, I discovered the second jump by myself, I was able to complete that course in 30- seconds. After that... fuck my childhood.

[@pizzagodkappa4032]

Uploaded 2008 ❤ Early days of KZbin.

[@MarioNavi]

@Michedono Mario Kart 64 items are pure random. I've gotten a triple mushroom while in 1st place. It's possible to time the roulette to give you the item you want.

[@kartgal]

Were any cheats used or is this something you can do with the standard setup on an old n64, no codes?

[@isakemanuel1786]

Turma eu amo esse jogo de coração..gostaria de saber se não consigo ele para outro vídeo game...pois Nintendo 64 já era..mas eu quero esse aí...

In other words, this was done by the computer, nor a person. (like all the TAS speedruns)

[@gyroid]

I dunno why when I was young, I would laugh at the mushroom boost sfx

[@hegyak]

@psusarahkate If you can do frame perfect input, yes. The Wario glitch (jumping over walls) is possible in Real time. I had to use a mushroom but I did it.

[@TazzedoFranky]

you forgot at the last sentence, "Ah fuck it let's put him at the finish line, he is going to win anyway..."

[@BigEvan96]

The nostalgia...

[@bigyoshifan2011]

Yay yoshi! Thats me!

[@bluefirekid]

Not necessarily a cheating device, it's more of a stylized method. Basically, TAS is a speedrun that is played on an emulator which can allow the player to assess features (changing textures, level of difficulty, glitch abuse, etc.) not available to standard players(the ones who play it on a regular or the original console). That's why there are a lot of almost impossible stunts done here.
