【TAS】Super Monkey Ball 2 - Story Mode All Levels

[@lapogne36]

4:31 and 16:08 are my "wtf is he doing?" picks

[@ShiningSilvally]

No arguments, on either. I'd be saying the same.

[@elliottashe8690]

Holy crap. To call this a masterpiece would be a massive understatement! This has given me new motivation to start playing Deluxe again! Sieve left me struck completely dumb. It baffles me how some of these strats are thought of in the first place. AMAZING work to everyone who worked on this TAS! You all did a phenomenal job!

[@VonTachyon]

They said SMB2 was mostly glitchless, but the amount of weird goal collision I'm seeing abused here is crazy.

[@LiviaReaper]

that’s not a glitch, that’s just how the game was made

[@derpyjake5298]

Not a glitch

[@42guy42]

Holy crap that was awesome! So many frames that I didn’t think existed, so many frames I didn’t think were possible, and even seconds I couldn’t imagine being done! Pro skaters, hoppers, and combination come to mind on frame grinds, while alternative, invisible, and tower were some huge second breaks I didn’t see coming! I really popped off at some new strats like sliders and obviously sieve, that was insane! This is by far the most optimized SMB2 TAS, well done to all!

[@Rmac524]

best TAS i've ever seen hands down

[@scrap651]

what a treat i tried that sliders idea several times with rapid pausing to see if it worked but i couldn't get anything i knew pro skaters was beatable! my obstacle strat idea from like 10 years ago actually works! i called 50 invisible before it happened. i didn't think my run should be as close to the old tas as it was

[@Agedude]

I've made a lot of Marble It Up TAS so I love seeing the similarities and differences in the mechanics. I really appreciate the skill and creativity it took to put this all together!

[@dwaitley24]

We really got blessed with the best TAS of all time

[@oluaeb5577]

why do u want to see warp goals in story mode???@@ShiningSilvally

[@ShiningSilvally]

​@@oluaeb5577 More technical optimization & higher scores. Come on. Don't tell me that any speedrun tricks for hitting the(typically) harder-to-reach Warp Goals wouldn't be satisfying! If anything, sure, some of them were hit, because they were easily accessible for speedruns, like Launchers & Coin Slots, but still! What about the more annoying ones, like Randomizer & Pro Skaters?

[@Homing3000]

​@@ShiningSilvallyThis is truly a tell me ur an idiot without telling me ur an idiot moment.

[@petresinc]

Non-stop surprises and sexy finishes in this TAS, bang-up job from the entire team!

[@IkeSMB]

The video's 25 and a half minutes long but I spent 40 minutes watching it through because I kept rewinding to see stuff multiple times. Good shit, definitely one of the best TASes I've ever seen!

[@namb0]

That was absolutely bonkers. Can definitely see the hours upon hours of work poured into this project, and seems like the outcome was definitely worth it. Every stage here was a roller coaster to watch, but if I had to pick favorites they would probably be Curve Bridge, Hoppers, Giant Comb, Arthropod, Spiral Bridge, Sieve (obviously), Orbitters, and Gimmick. I had to really cherry pick in order to keep this list from being 50+ stages lmao, so that def shows how awesome this TAS is. Stellar work peeps! (>^-^)>

[@Jornker]

NAMBO

[@KartingKoopa]

Holy shit Sieve lmao This was exhilarating to watch from start to finish, well done!

[@Tony_SMB]

This is easily the best TAS I have ever seen. Excellent work Gonquai, Blendra, Silverboxer, and Taru!

[@Pokehero]

This is the Gonquai character development we needed

[@Goober13md]

Excellent work! Some really impressive new strategies here.

[@AdamFerrari64]

Most impressive and entertaining Speed TAS I’ve ever seen. Excellent work.

[@Vouniern]

Just…wow. The things that can be done with this game (and a TAS).

[@Simply_Emu]

Great work on this TAS guys. So impressive to watch.

[@The_Soul_King]

Amazing, that is definitely why I love the Speedrun community

[@dmtgoobz9721]

This must of took a long time, so many cool new strategies and frame grinds, this was awesome holy cow!

[@Pintobean120]

Okay, this run was just absolutely fucking nuts as a whole. But. WOW Sieve was just the wackiest, wildest strat and jaw dropping that the time left was 50:XX

[@LunchBoxer]

This is by far the funniest TAS run I’ve ever seen

[@HebegoiN]

It's been over a year and this tas still slaps

[@NaomiLunazure]

16:12 HOW WAS THAT EVEN A THING?!

[@The_Soul_King]

In this clip, the TAS is abusing the speed generated by the collisions to go very fast, like a Pinch in Rocket League

[@NaomiLunazure]

@@The_Soul_King Oh! Is it similar to how backwards acceleration is applied to characters to make them stop when you let go of a stick, and in some games you could abuse that?

[@The_Soul_King]

@@NaomiLunazure yes, and like the stairs glitch in Super Mario 64

[@ameliatbh001]

I almost spat out my dinner upon seeing Launchers. and my jaw hit the floor on seeing Corkscrew. Great work, all!

[@sergioabrb]

This whole tas feels like you're just pressing random buttons on the controller hoping you get lucky and it goes in

[@man_g4me]

i just finished this game right now on dolphin & so i was like , why not watching a TAS video of this game.... *i wasnt ready*

[@AmoebaUK]

An amazing watch

[@KimbaCookie]

16:13 Excuse me WUT

[@gsas3012]

This run was so broken i loved it

[@heyomaio]

This came out of nowhere i wish i was 2 weeks early- Thank you and the others for this TAS!

[@ShiroCat33]

I have no idea how I arrived this late to the party. But the whole run was fanTAStic! (I know, obvious pun is obvious) I can tell that this must have taken a very long time to optimize. Also that Sieve strategy was out of this world! My jaw would drop if this was possible in real-time.

[@Jets-sr8jw]

Nice to see the GOAT is still active. Good shit Gonquai!!!

[@michaeldavis812]

23:00 Stage was absolutely mind blowing 🤯

Holy cow this guy got the top 5 pro gamers of this game

[@SonikkuAtrue]

First SMB Adventure Tases, then this You da man!

[@boomers_pb]

this TAS guy is pretty good

[@harrybaldman3437]

So this taught me you can beat this game if you’re blind. It might take several attempts, but definitely possible

[@zetsunatetatsuniki4053]

This needs more recognition… It’s too quiet here

[@daichies0927]

The most difficult(time consuming) stage…"ZIGZAG SLOPE"

[@blendra8602]

This is a tool-assisted speedrun.

[@chikin8895]

Yes that is what a TAS is

[@draga_]

bead screen was CRAZY

[@alecheasley6259]

The longest stage was the loading screen.

[@nohface7565]

You'd be a craaaazzzyyyy pool shark

[@minecalftree1838]

hey sry most of your tas looks really good but i don't get what's happening on 2-1 ranks where it looks like the tas goes for the goal and misses(?) is this what is happening and if so why?

[@Gonquai]

On 2-1 we take advantage of what the game allows as a goal. Termed "Ripping the Goalpost" we get close enough to the tape to break the edge of it while going through the goalpost (not consistent and requires speed, but can save frames). This also occurs on a few other stages like 4-1 and 9-4. This can be done in real time, and is really easy on a few levels (such as 6-4).

[@minecalftree1838]

@@Gonquai thanks!

[@chikin8895]

Oh sick I was wondering this same thing

[@halleyharper]

sieve was ok

[@megametallimaiden8516]

Does anyone have a clip of someone getting the blue goal in entangled path very quickly?

[@musicsixtyseven]

2:32-2:43 was absoulutely crazy Edit: i just realized this is tas lmao

[@disgustingg]

worst part about this run is that you don't get to hear the clocktower theme kick off at any point

[@XenoSMB]

Cool

[@APerson-14]

On 1-4 I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT EXISTED 1:19

[@TwilightPB]

ahahaha what the fuck is that giant comb how do you even manipulate that many speedbumps

[@TwilightPB]

OBSTACLE?????

[@TwilightPB]

this tas is fucking unbelievable.

[@TwilightPB]

10/10 you folks. i honestly didn't expect so many amazing new strategies and optimizations - this was such a treat to watch

[@alist2992]

Gaming

[@bingusbongus9807]

why does going up the side at the beginning of the beginning levels make you faster?

[@xAbsolution1]

Swaying back and forth builds up speed faster than moving straight ahead every time

[@bingusbongus9807]

@@xAbsolution1 but why?

[@xAbsolution1]

@@bingusbongus9807 i dont know why! Something about how slopes increase your acceleration faster than just holding up.

[@bingusbongus9807]

@@xAbsolution1 ok. well thanks anyway!!

[@xAbsolution1]
