Wow! The execution was awesome! I am so glad I got to (kinda) give you advice with that banana glitch!

[@annieexell1292]

Also I had a time trial 0.03 lap idea on rDP3, I you could probably get stuck in between the 2 block wide wall by using the bounce pad on the first bridge. I have not done it yet but I am trying. I use the Nintendo switch online rewind tool ALOT in mksc but it only saves your state ever 1.5 seconds.

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

thanks! yeah you definitely guessed what was gonna happen lol :) im glad you liked it!!! also yeah, ive thought about that course as well, i haven't been able to get something like that to work but it feels like it ought to.. i need to learn more about how wall collision works

[@kaasiand]

as someone who grew up with MKSC and loves the game to death, this was a really fun and informative watch! if i had to guess why DP3 and MC4 did not get that "finish line not extending into the wall" issue fixed while KB2 did, it's probably because the finish line must align (specifically horizontally?) with a 2x2-tile grid just like in SMK, starting and ending at the exact edges of tiles. (this is a guess because i don't know much about MKSC's internals, but it does seem like a lot of track logic carried over from SMK, and it was the case in that game) if the finish line extended into the wall on those two tracks, you'd be able to complete a lap by bumping into the wall from the other side instead. KB2 doesn't have that issue because you cannot reach the other side of the wall normally, thus it was fixable without changing the actual track tilemap

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

ohh yeah that does make sense- good idea! interestingly enough you can still make it to the other side on KB2 but it requires much more shenanigans than the other ones :P im really glad you liked the video!!! it's always fun to see dedicated fans of the game :) not common!

[@MikeyLORR]

[@retrogamingfun4thelife]

incredible work. i already knew Su TAS, but this is awesome thanks to the on screen rich description. On a tech side, the game is known to avoid certain hundreths on race time (but not on lap time). I’ve been always puzzled by this fact. lap skips are either of 0.03 or 0.04: it must be an hint. Do you know exactly how it works? And since the last lap time must be adjusted by the game to avoid certain hundreths, does it subtract or does it add 1 hundreth to the last lap? this could be useful for the fast lap time attack (better to do on early laps or on the last one?).

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

good question! indeed many decimals are avoided this is because, due to the 100 decimals not dividing evenly into 60 frames per second, some frames are "01 long and some are "02 long. specifically, the game alternates with one "01 frame then two "02 frames. so "03 and "04 are both 2 frames long, just with different lengths of frames edit: this is also why the game avoids certain ending decimals, if you follow this pattern the ending decimal will never land on 2, 4, 7, or 9

For the longest time I had no idea that hidden stats (Peach having the highest drift, Yoshi having weird turning, etc.) existed in Super Circuit, so I was always very bewildered when I saw older TAS videos use seemingly random choices like Luigi and Donkey Kong. Your annotations give a lot of clarity on why certain characters are used which is great! Is there any resource where these things can be found or do you just kind of find them out yourself? Either way, terrific video! The Sky Garden clip in particular made me gush.

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

aww yay im glad!! and hm, i don't know if any really good concise list of all the character stats, i personally just learned them from asking other people xD here's a synopsis of everyone i know about: Bowser: highest top speed, lowest in everything else DK: a bit slower than Bowser but much better drifting, and better steering Wario: not really useful for anything in particular so i haven't explored much, but ive heard he recovers well if you run into a wall without a boost. in general has similar stats to Bowser Luigi: tightest steering Mario: also not useful for anything afaik, but similar stats to luigi Peach: tightest drifting, pretty slow Toad: highest acceleration, slowest top speed Yoshi: weird drifting, pretty slow ill add a quick sidenote that regardless of each character's top speed, they all go the same speed in a mushroom boost. but yeah i don't have all the details of stats, but i at least have the knowledge i used to pick which one to use for TASes xD and yeah!! im glad you like sky garden lool :) it felt so satisfying when i first found that trick at the end

Is there a reason why some of the banana times are either 0.3 or 0.4 for the last digits? Also great tas!

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

thanks!! and great question :) it's basically because, since 60 frames don't divide evenly into 100 digits, some frames add "01 to the timer and some add "02. so "03 and "04 laps are both 2 frames long, the "03 has an "01 and an "02 frame, and the "04 has two "02 frames. it's sadly not possible to get two "01 frames in a row, so a "02 lap is not possible

ah yep! it was mentioned but sorry it passed so quickly 😅 toad has the fastest acceleration, which is useful for every time we stop and turn around. peach has the tightest drifting and is slightly faster than toad overall, the drifting was important for cheese land and bowser castle 2, and none of the tracks in the flower cup need the acceleration 👍 i hope that helps!

[@Nickels11]

if the TAS uses bananas to make them go mach speed, and assuming its mostly due to the slipping, why not use other slipping items like a shell? Just curious, idk if its a dumb question.

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

no worries it's a good question! it turns out the other items just have a different kind of spinout that just doesn't work. this is also the same for the puddles on luigi circuit and the ice on snow land, they just don't work apparently. if it helps, this has nothing to do with going extremely fast, the key is the banana spinout makes you stick to the wall. sadly if you hit a shell or puddle or ice or something, you'll bounce off the wall instead of sticking i hope that helps! feel free to ask more questions if you like :)

[@Nickels11]

So the banana is worth it because it has a special spinout?@@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

@@Nickels11 yep it's a different spinout 👍 other obstacles that give the same spinout are the rats on cheese land, the penguins on snow land, the fireballs on the nitro bowser castle tracks, the mechakoopas on bowser castle 4, the meteors on lakeside park, and the crabs on shy guy beach and cheep cheep island. none of those are actually useful though except for the banana and the cheese land rats 👍 i hope that helps!

Say, how do you access the Retro Tracks for this game? What buttons do I have to press?

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

good question! once you have them unlocked you just push either of the shoulder buttons (L or R), but first you have to unlock them, which is really tough step 1: unlock special cup by getting a gold trophy in each other cup (i think any cc will do) step 2: pick any nitro cup and get gold in 150cc (i think it's 150cc, but i don't remember) step 3: play that cup again and collect 100 coins (this is cumulatively throughout all 4 tracks, retrying makes you lose the coins you collected in that race, coins do not accumulate across multiple grand prix's), you do not have to get gold on this playthrough after the final step, you will unlock the corresponding "extra" cup for whatever cup you chose. do that on all 5 cups and you will unlock all the SNES tracks! it is a very long process i hope this helps!

the fastest course in the run was donut plains 1, it has the fastest time in the game than any other course :) the fastest course for me to TAS was probably either ghost valley 3 or retro rainbow road, in ghost valley 3i remember lap 1 taking a whole but the rest of the race worked out very nicely, and retro rainbow road is definitely the easiest to TAS on its own, it's mostly just copying the same inputs each lap, optimizing it wasn't very difficult either

good question! i never actually ended up finding that one, when i was TASing i just relied on just trial and error

How come all WR Vids are on JP games?

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

in this case it's because the glitch on koopa beach 2 only works on the japanese version. in general though, sometimes for other games text scrolling impacts time, and japanese often has the shortest text. sometimes it's just cause the player is japanese, and sometimes it's just for aesthetic :P i hope that helps!

Wow and they said Mario Kart 64 was the most broken mario kart...

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

[@Kieiros]

Wow, what's that weird thing going on in the background of the credits? It looks NOTHING like what's been going on during the game...

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]
