【TAS】Mario Kart Double Dash!! - (Recap) Tracks #01-04

[@GoombaNL]

I love this so much, absolutely amazing work and the manip + driving is just a treat to watch

[@Notnotcam]

Great work and love the concept of posting every 4th collection. See you for mushroom bridge soon hopefully :)

[@ThatCowGuy]

Thanks Cam, Im glad you like the concept :D Im slowly getting into a Mushroom Bridge-ish kinda mood too

[@ThatCowGuy]

@TASVideoGamesChannel Nah, I wouldnt bet on finishing in march. Although I might be able to hex quite a lot of laps 2+3. But I think it'll be a while still, sorry

[@shantakidd6230]

I played this game a lot as a kid. I don't remember hearing baby Luigi say "dey go cwazy for weegie" before. That was so unbelievably cute. Also this is epic, I haven't finished watching but I had to stop and make this comment. The rubberbanding in this game couldn't even keep up with you so far. CRAZY

[@ThatCowGuy]

I hope the Bowser's Castle one broke you even further :D

[@demacy]

Unbelievable tas !

[@glitch_a]

so smooth

[@Cloudz6446]

Hey Im quite new to tassing and I would like to know if you have any tips for me (specifically for Mario kart DD)

[@ThatCowGuy]

Definetely get the Dolphin Memory Engine - it's a Memory Viewer that lets you monitor a lot of useful information like Kart-Position, MT-State, Enemy Items etc. If you pm me on Discord I can also send you my watch-file so you don't have to look for all the addresses yourself

[@Cloudz6446]

@@ThatCowGuy thank you

[@wickedishiccy7621]

Man that rubberbanding it doing it's damnedest but it doesn't stand a chance

[@ThatCowGuy]

Sometimes I hoped that their rubberbanding was even stronger, so I could steal more items

[@typhoonthunder]

the double dash intro gave me PTSD because I have the song as my morning alarm 😅

[@ThatCowGuy]

Wake up! It's a dream and you're late for real !

[@OfficialOlue]

Is bowser jr. used over toad/toadette for the ability to manipulate item drops from CPU? I assumed golden mushroom would have better utility but interesting

[@ThatCowGuy]

Bowsy's Special is actually OP for TAS, because it's able to remove almost every type of Hazard, or even multiple Hazards at once. It can even remove Chained Chomps, Pokeys, Shy-Guys and Cars, which are not manipulatable otherwise. And I will be able to snipe multiple Goombas on MaC later, to set up some Mushroom Drops. The Golden Shroom is not as powerful in this game, because it's on a 5s timer after the first use - unless you exploit Z-Tech, which I decided not to use because it would mean half of the tracks would turn into shroom-spam. It's also not obtainable in 1st place, which means I'd have to sandbag for 2-3s depending on the track. I might end up stealing one though, since I have both Toad & Toadette as CPUs :)

[@OfficialOlue]

@@ThatCowGuy I see, thanks for the reply! Is petey and king boo not unlocked on purpose to have a greater chance at stealing better stuff?

[@ThatCowGuy]

@@OfficialOlue They are purposfully not unlocked because they add a lot of chaos. They will (almost?) always be among the lead CPUs, and then pull a bunch of triple shells and big bananas, so they dont add anything valuable anyways. I also heavily manipulated the enemy composition to have both Toad & Toadette, both Yoshi & Birdo, at least one of Wario & Waluigi as a "Bad CPU" (always in a bad positon), and Baby Mario as a bad CPU. So having Petey & Boo unlocked would have made that manip a lot worse too.

[@gamertagge8429]

since u can mt infinity would heavy character not be better more top speed?

[@ThatCowGuy]

Good idea. The main problem with that is that the heavies lose their MT boost sooner (lightweights keep it for 30 frames, medium weights for 20f and heavies for 10f only, or something like that), so I have to charge MTs more often. But every time I charge an MT, my speed will drop for 5 frames or so, which means even if the heavies have a higher topspeed, I can only maintain that topspeed for a very short time before starting the next MT charge. Aside from that, the actual topspeeds only vary very slightly actually - BT caps at 70mph, and the only faster Kart Ive seen is Koopa King which caps at 71mph. It might be a good idea for another ZTech TAS though.

[@gamertagge8429]

@@ThatCowGuy i see so medium could work?

[@ThatCowGuy]

@@gamertagge8429 Lightweights get like 84% (5/6) uptime, mediums like 75% (3/4) and heavies only 50% (1/2). Thats still 10% less topspeed time for the medium weights, but its getting closer. I dont remember how much the heavier karts drop in speed during the MT charge though, it might be more aswell

Needs more honking

[@ThatCowGuy]

I agree. My Honk-Inserter Script will improve things in the future

[@halomkdd4965]

That DC pool section is very cute

[@Thomfamily5]

Why are these the first 4 tracks? These tracks are in a seemingly random order!

[@ThatCowGuy]

They are in fact in a random order! The all cup tour in MKDD randomizes the track order, with the only exceptions being that LC is always first and RR is always last :)

[@GM4E01]

Wow

[@glitch_a]

How long does it take to make these TASes?

[@ThatCowGuy]

A couple of weeks if I have the free time. Mushroom Bridge is taking a bit longer currently, because I need to look a bit more into how RNG works before I can actually start. I want to minimize the Sandbagging time for all upcomming tracks :)

[@Genzossb]

Yo was mit DK64 any%? Runst du noch ? Ich hab wieder angefangen :D

Nee, da verfolg ich nurnoch die Glitches und so :)
