[TAS] N64 Super Smash Bros. "Break the Targets & Board the Platforms" by Isotarge & Mittenz in 08:05.92
This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/3493M
TAS originally published on 2017-08-12
Super Smash Bros. began a series of games that mixes characters from several Nintendo-made games into a unique fighting game. It relies not on wearing down the opponent's "life" but increasing damage until he or she can be literally knocked off the stage. Wildly popular, this game has inspired many lazy days of casual multiplayer gaming but also intense competitive tournaments that happen to this day.
In this run, Isotarge & Mittenz team up and tackle the two timed bonus games with all unlockable characters.
Due to regional differences between releases of this game, the authors ran through both the Japanese and North American games. Ultimately, the Japanese version was deemed faster and published, but the North American run is available too. See the submission thread for more details, and for higher resolution encodes.

This game has some of the best sound design for its generation. Everything makes a distinct, satisfying sound and it’s beautiful

[@supersmashmaster43]

I think this is the Japanese version of the game and I know the sound is slightly different from the other versions. When characters hit something, there’s more of a punching sound whereas the other versions changed that to something more cartoony

Back when Smash told you how to use characters since everyone had their on unique Target Level

[@RandomPerson964]

It's all about quantity over quality these days. Everyone's whining about how they want their favorite anime swordsman in Ultimate, and I'm over here whining about how I'd rather have 30-ish characters If it means we can have cool stuff like unique Break the Targets for every character.

[@Nattegoya]

@@RandomPerson964 Next game should have the 40 best characters and just work around them. Bonus stages, actual story cutscenes this time, etc. Would cut the bloat from the current roster

[@brandonwilliams6119]

@@RandomPerson964 And now it’s manifested into JRPGs Vs Platformers, never thought I’d see the day. Smash Speculation really needs to end soon. Also I always preferred Quality over Quantity, the only thing carrying Ultimate is the Roster and that’s it, that statement alone will trigger Ultimate Fanboys.

[@ArjunTheRageGuy]

Man, I want Break the Targets and that Board the platforms thing to be back in Ultimate.

I loved how the Smash 3DS had Smash Run with a lot of minigames and a giant map to gain experience and stat boosts for the final event. It had a bit of everything like Target Smash, beat a bunch of enemies, survival tests, hidden secrets and things like that; and how the last tests were Race to the Finish (and a similar vertical test), beat as many enemies as you can or just a regular Smash with all the stat boosts you had. I would love to see that again, but alongside Boss Battles returning (stages, Classic Mode and Brawl Adventure Mode alike) and some Target Tests like Brawl (5 levels) to have more to do than just regular battles.

[@SgvSth]

Board the Platforms: I enjoyed Pikachu clipping through the floor and Captain Falcon's taunts the most. Additionally, I liked how you pulled off beating Ness' stage considering his odd jumps due to him knowing PK/PSI moves. Targets: How did you both pull off Link's Boomerang like that and find out about it?! That must have taken quite a while to setup.

[@KiingKai91]

Didn't even know you could edge cancel in 64. Makes movement look a little more like Melee, that's sick.

Lol Pikachu is so fast he went through the level in the board the platform stage

[@StatickyCat]

I find it hilarious how it's faster to speedrun Fox's BTP stage going backwards.

[@Dorriedude]

it's because of the cycles, because if we do it normally (going with the normal route)fastfalling after p9 wouldn't make it to p10 because we're too low, even if we're high enough it won't make too much of a difference because of slow cycles

WonderCookie including the startup and endlag, fast fall is just a way better version, plus you can influence direction.

but then you wouldn't finish with a time of 13"37

that's for noobs lol, it's slower considering the hitlag and the startup it takes, it's more useful in btp with rockslide
