Thanks to ‪@CheesyChase‬ for recording the input display!
This TAS took nearly 30 hours to complete, and there are quite a few new strats in this. Probably the coolest innovation from my point of view are the 5 consecutive wall boosts (even though I know most of you would probably say that it's the shroomless mushroom strat). This is the most optimized TAS that I have created individually, and I'm extremely proud of the result. I hope you enjoy it!

This is an absolutely crazy run, also the finish was hilarious idk why 🤣

Not a player, a Tas. Do you even read titles?

[@Marcel-2174]

​​@@dimromwhen he says "coming from a player" he talks about himself. Do you even read comments?! 🙄

[@dimrom]

@@Marcel-2174 Hello mr, do you know what a tas even is? thanks for staying uninformed

[@Marcel-2174]

@@dimrom ??? Now I'm confused. I do know quite well what a TAS is. I think you either have a below average IQ or you simply troll. The comment that @soccerdude9784 wrote was implying that "a player who's spent hundreds oh hours back in the day perfecting this game" is HIMSELF. And he says that the TAS is "Jaw dropping". So he's basically saying "I, a real player, think it's jaw dropping (good) how this tas is performing." Do you understand now? I'm sorry if not, I can't dumb it down more. Thanks for staying uneducated, by the way.

[@thewierdragonbaby4843]

Wow, that's amazing! I don't keep up with the latest MK7 stuff anymore and just found this video in my recommended, and I've never seen that glitch before. Also I liked that finish

[@MKWilliam]

Yeah if you haven't been keeping up with it, I found that glitch about 4 months ago (with some help from coolnhot). And thanks, that finish took me a LOT of work

[@squilliam0909]

[@MKWilliam]

Thank you! The 4 mts on the wall was pretty much a case of trying to figure out how to make it work after i went for the 2 coins on the moon lol

[@helious_music]

when MK7 was still relatively new, id love grinding this level in time trials just for the ending jump bit you can do to save a bit of time, insane to see how optimized this level is in the modern era of TASing. sick video!

This tas blew my expectations out of the water. I played this game for a long ass time as a kid and I knew about the first glider trick and the shortcut at the very end. Seeing mk7 getting tas is so cool despite the limited options the game has to often. Great job

Metal Mario died as you crossed the finish line under the track, plummeting to earth where you would fall into Grumble Volcano. This was a really nice improvement. Keep it up, William

[@demian04_rta]

I don't even play mk7 but i love these TASes!!

[@MKWilliam]

Glad you enjoy them!

[@AzureSwiper]

That's why this version is better than MK8's. There's a lot of risk-reward with the optional shortcuts you can take and there's a nice visual of a star at the final turn. MK8 lacks shortcuts, is more flat, and is anticlimactic at the end. The music also lacks that somber finale sound to it.

[@MKWilliam]

yeah, I don't really play mk8dx often anyway, but especially this track i have absolutely no desire to play

[@MKWilliam]

Yeah, I got a bit carried away when making this, I spent a lot of time in the last week working on this 😅. It's 11 seconds faster because it is a lot more optimized (I saved probably over 1 second in driving and new strategies), but also because the glider glitch didn't exist when the old TAS was made
