Mario Kart Wii TAS Awards 2023

[@Kierio04]

As usual, huge thanks to Malleo for voice-overing for the fourth consecutive year, and to everyone else who stayed patient waiting for me to finish this video over 2 months after the polls closed. This video took nearly 60 hours of work to make, so giving my channel some support would be very much appreciated. I have several TASes in the works, so the 2 month break in uploads wasn't all for nothing, if you were worried that I had quit. *Fun fact:* Flap TAS of the Year contained 5 finalists that each used different vehicles! DDR used Daytripper, BC used Quacker, RR used Spear, RR NU used Wario Bike, and rYF used Bullet Bike.

[@ForevrrFury]

the fact that Justin gets nominated for TASer of the year and has been nominated for RTA player of the year before is crazy. seriously one of the best players overall

[@aaaaaa-wk6wj]

not the same justin

[@EjayB]

@@aaaaaa-wk6wjIt is the same Justin lol

[@aaaaaa-wk6wj]

@@EjayB no i talked to justin ab it lowercaseletters does all the tas and justin just uploads it and says its him

[@Kierio04]

Wait until you find out he won TASer of the year the year he started TASing (2021)

I wish I could have multiple pinned comments because it is just so nice to hear that you saw this :)

[@EjayB]

Hope you're doing well Alego! I wanted to politely ask if you could give us a bit of further information for why you quit forever, because a lot of people are wondering. Was it because you wanted to focus on school/studies? If you don't want to say anything, then that's perfectly fine, and I wish you all the best :)

[@Alego11-TAS]

@@EjayB Yeah, thanks! it was because i was TASing like 5-7 hour per day, and it was too much. I was not working on piano a lot anymore, and not doing my other hobbies, so me and my parents decided to quit it.

[@jasonhood8592]

Well, I do wish you the best alego, you may have quit, although you did inspire those of us who want to follow in you steps.

[@TJ-Henry-Yoshi]

God, MKWii TASes never cease being absolute eye candy at every turn. So glad to hear about how awesome this year has been for it (especially as someone who can't keep up with everything)

[@abcdefghilihgfedcba]

can’t believe you’re still alive commenting places xD

[@EjayB]

I highly recommend joining the MKWii TAS Discord, because we have a role that gets pinged every time a new BKT is uploaded (usually a few times a month)

[@radaf4429]

Thank you for being a pillar of the KZbin gaming landscape

[@ciute1679]

I just wanted to say, that i appreciate every MKWII TASer for all their amazing work - its really entertaining to watch

[@EjayB]

Another brilliant showcase of the combined efforts of the community, and people's individual accomplishments. What a year for discoveries. Great job - thank you Kierio and Malleo!

[@TASSnoop]

2024 April Fools category? Awesome vid, can't wait to see what this year has in store

[@Kierio04]

2024 was like the least successful April fools year for quite a while soooooo (Considering maybe doing some smaller awards that missed out for the decade TAS awards in 2030 if I’m still around like April fools TASes, TAFs, Kart TASes, etc)

[@TASSnoop]

@@Kierio04 exactly, easy sweep for me /s nah ik, was only joking

[@ellucinea]

awesome video, thank you for your hard work kierio!! it was so cool seeing all of the TASing developments in 2023-what a stacked year. and thanks to this whole community for welcoming me in this past year!

[@Kierio04]

huge shame you started TASing super late into 2023, you might have had a good chance at winning new TASer of 2024 😢

[@tylerlarsen1842]

5:12 LOOK MA! I'M ON KZbin!

[@DrMd-jr3xt]

Congratulations and HUGE thanks to everyone mentioned in this video!

[@Eturnes]

mkwii has a lovely community

[@stanz47]

This has been quite an amazing year from the perspective of someone outside the TAS community. I don't think I've checked mkwtas more often and have been blown out of my seat more often. (Genuinely, I fell out of my seat for one or two). No doubt this was due to the amazing work from all you amazing TASers out there! Amazing work everyone, you truly deserve it. I like to think back to the days of TAF's and how their spirit somehow live on into finding the most absurd strategies that somehow are also the fastest. Honestly, some flaps and even 3laps were more absurd than just about any TAF I'd watched back then. If 2024 is anything like 2023 then I'll need to grab my popcorn and hold on tight. To see a game I grew up with and played for so long still have the most vibrant community of any game I keep up to date with is surreal, and I couldn't ask for more. Congratulations to everyone who won an award, and congratulations to those even if they didn't for such an amazing experience. I can't wait to see how 2024 shapes up! Also RAHH Monster I can't describe how many times I'd seen your name this year. Incredible.

[@ArthurMK]

We'll miss you alego

[@bowser498]

10:32 mom i'm in the tas awards vid!!! fr tho amazing work by the tasing community this year, i keep questioning if this game will ever run out of new strats but super glad the community is proving me wrong :)

[@Puddings]

inspiring stuff, maybe next year there will be a 2024 mkds tas awards :P

[@jaytayner4292]

Dayclipping got robbed, jk, great video mr 04 and congrats to all the nominees

Great video! I listened to this in my Genesis G80 Sport.

[@gartoll]

Nice awards ceremony! Would be funny if you had 1 category for TAFs, thought it's not as big of a scene iirc. Can you tell me song at 23:27?

[@Kierio04]

Donkey Kong country tropical freeze mangrove cove underwater

[@matrefeytontias]

It would be cool to have links to all the finalist TASes mentioned in the video! This has been absolutely insane to watch, from the outsider perspective of someone not having an eye on things as they develop.

[@Kierio04]

I’ll do it eventually haha - I’m sure you’ll be able to find them if you look them up, they are usually pretty popular

[@T8_407]

amazing vid

[@ninfia7600]

I know it's a lot to ask but is there a chance you could potentially credit the music you used for the video in the description? I admittedly mostly just really wanna find what song is used at 22:15... yet in a more endearing light, this was genuinely one of the most well put together TAS accomplishment videos I've seen in gaming period, you did an absolutely phenomenal job editing this and I am so beyond proud of this community

[@Kierio04]

I’ll be making a playlist of the music soon-ish. It takes a while because I want to put together a full document of all credits, and that takes a while to compile, since I have to go back and find all the clips I used again. That music in particular is from Donkey Kong country: tropical freeze and it’s mangrove cave underwater

[@ninfia7600]

@@Kierio04 that's completely fair and understandablee, and thank you so much for letting me know, I appreciate it!

[@SuperJGGaming]

[@thomaslomanno8427]

8:12 whats the difference between a 'rio drift' and a ski drift?

[@Kierio04]

Reo* drift is a technique named after the TASer Reo where you hop to drift one direction but then bounce and slip drift in the other direction in quick succession. A ski drift is exactly the same thing as a Reo drift but it was just made up by ArcIntel. A lot of names for certain techniques were made up by Arc and should not be considered official
