The fact that you had to include so much additional information at the end shows how fast games can develop under your nose. Also, Rubiksmath's quest to 38/38 has the same energy as Mathias's 32/32 quest in Mario Kart 64.

There is actually a fair chance that he had 38/38 for a few days. The only record left in that period between his latest record and my Skater Fast DJ Any% WR was potentially spliced, but without audio it's impossible to tell

You probably could have called it an "auto runner", that's also a genre of platformer and fits better than auto scroller

[@Maximum]

I agree, though far more people are familiar with the term "autoscroller"

Its the grandpa to Temple run and etc but yeah seems like auto scroller is a more general term for it

The difference between auto-scroller in Mario and Run is that in Mario, it's a break from optimization since you can't really optimize it, but Run makes the optimize much more intense since there is less optimizing factor.

[@KPoWasTaken]

Run is an auto runner, not an autoscroller. Itsmaximum only said autoscroller because people are more familiar with the term autoscroller

[@RGC_animation]

@@KPoWasTaken In fact, people should be MORE familiar with auto-runner, because more people have played game such as Temple Run, Flappy Bird and Subway Surfers then a random level in a Mario Game.

18:44 I totally forgot that I used to try and speed run "run 2" in high school during my down time.

Run 2 was an amazing game. and amazing video by the way really scratches the speed running itch

[@randomboii9166]

Woah I remember playing casually how hard it was to beat some of the levels on intense but hearing that speedrunners can’t do it consistently makes me feel better lol

[@rubiksmath7938]

can confirm it is very difficult :(. took me 6 hours to beat the run 1 intense infinite mode wr, which only requires me to not fall off for 1 minute and 17 seconds (granted rng gets in the way at higher diffculties anyway, levels from 70% onwards often have large unjumpable gaps unless you rotate, and are filled with 1 tile jumps).

BRO! This was my game back in high school, for 2 whole years we played this game every single day me and my friends, all period during study hall, and most of the time in computer class. I REMEMBER THAT CORNER LAUNCH from level 23 that you officially found, it happened to someone by accident and then we all spent wayy too long trying to replicate it and most of us did eventually get it, i cant imagine trying to get that consistently tho for a speedrun, flash speedrunners are something else when it comes to timing and mashing. Great Video Maximum!

in 3d land you can out run the camera in the autoscrolling levels, so in speedruns the speedrunners might as well just have a blindfold on during the auto scrollers.

[@Bombasaur101]

Dude I love these videos! I really wanted to find a community for Ragdoll Invaders. Think it has a lot of potential for a flash category, and I don't think any community exists for it online. Its a "wave" based game so if you maximise the bullets hit across enemies and avoid deaths you can avoid losing time. There's also these hearts you collect to maximise your score. To get 100% you have to get max score which means 0 deaths and max hearts collected. I think a 100% run of this could be crazy since there's actually a decent skill ceiling and over the years I've finally been able to beat the game consistently. A 0 death category could be an option aswell so if someone missed a heart going for 100% they could still get their time placed in the 0 death category.

[@nitesy381]

Ok now I am tempted to make a self-learning tas for this as my thesis.

[@Maximum]

self-learning TASses aren't really viable yet. The stuff that SethBling has done with MarI/O (Super Mario World) and MarIQ (Super Mario Kart) is all that ive seen in regards to a neural network learning how to play a video game, and those efforts are currently much slower than human runs.

In run 3 there is a glitch where I you jump out of the stage right you can float around the stage and you can then go back inside at a later point, they might have patched that out, and I don’t think it saves any time anyway but I don’t know if it would be useful
