[TAS] Super Monkey Ball "Expert through Master" in

[@Jakkomies]

I love it that this game is ages 3+ when the master stages can make a fully grown man cry.

[@ImFangzBro]

Clearly this is a training simulator for TASers from a young age.

[@LegoSonic-p2f]

This is Parker, and welcome to JackAss!! Today, we are gonna show the world how to violate all levels in Super Monkey Ball.

I always liked how you could see the next stage as you go up after finishing

TAS GonGon is a beast! Holding forward and bouncing is one thing... but this is brilliant! Long live the Gamecube, best console launch of all time!

[@Patashu]

you can tell it's a TAS because no human could stand to play with GonGon

[@austinpeterson6419]

Haha!!!

[@jadetealaaron2003]

Especially when he's the slowest and heaviest in the game

[@101supertails]

AaronBoi 15 False. In terms of gameplay, none of the monkeys are any different from each other.

[@BlackWerewolf27]

I can stand to play with GonGon...

[@bennythejet9553]

Lmfaoooo i played with gon gon but I was like 9 so

[@iycewynd]

there is a severe lack of baby in this video

[@SuperJustinChannel]

Ending: Monkeys being a dick to Gongon.

[@GaryYTPMV]

Holy crap dude, this is incredible.

[@EtherielCS]

Yes! I have waited so long for this TAS. Thanks so much to byrz, nindiddeh, keylie and Barhunga for making this! It's incredible what you've done with this game.

[@Epzilon12]

This is bananas.

[@hartleyharms4404]

Wow, so much Dole product placement.

[@frankjohnson123]

Wow, are there any exploits in this game at all? It seems like this entire run is just using the physics engine as intended. If so, that's remarkable game design.

[@ShougaTouki]

+frankjohnson123 The absolute only exploit of any kind I can think of as far as Monkey Ball is that it will only check for collision on certain frames so, on one level in SMB2, the goal rotates so fast, if you get it on the perfect frame, you can clip through the goal post. But it's only very very VERY slightly faster than the normal strat. So, in short, they're really no way to exploit it as far as glitches and stuff.

[@bonproductions5535]

frankjohnson123 welp there is now

[@theonlyron]

This is the video game version of tilting the pinball machine

[@IWish2500]

Wow, I could feel my childhood fleeting away while watching that video.

[@maherm5739]

i will always come back to this video. This is my childhood

[@RobloxandNascarfan]

Congratulations on completing expert/expert extra/and master and what's even more crazy about this video is you completed every level without any deaths/fallouts I could never finish expert through master without any fallouts great vid and probably one of the best speedruns I've seen in super monkey ball

[@MitchTH]

wow you CRUSHED expert 7! WTF!!!!

[@Ironsonic100]

I only ever played the GBA version of this game. Beating expert and master modes for the first time were some very mystical moments.

[@scribblenaut19]

Yet the gba version is the hardest in the entire series.

[@Ironsonic100]

SuperVideoMaster Evidently. There's no way I can pull off shit like this on the GBA version

[@RaccoonRevolution]

This is the craziest TAS I've ever seen if only for the reason that a lot of this seemed feasible without a tool.

[@darakd7192]

I was waiting for a TAS since sooooo long. Nice guys ^^

[@19Otaku94]

loved the sega dreamcast music they used in games!

[@blakecarterpiano]

When a monkey in a hamster ball can go from 0-60 faster than most sports cars

[@seicobass]

Storm still is the best song.

[@EighteenCharacters]

Well, now I know what the rest of the master levels look like... I never seen't that Dodecahedron level, nor the ones after it. I must've quit half way through masters.

[@applepie3175]

Bruh, it takes me 13 minutes just to do Expert 7.

[@freeze_electric]

13 minutes only? What kind of pro are you? Nah but in all seriousness, level 7 is waaaay too hard for no reason compared to pretty much everything else in expert

[@pompmrs.127]

@@freeze_electric it takes me 3 hours to beat advanced stages

[@the64thgamer]

THANK GOD FOR DOING THIS ONE ONE OF MY HARDEST VIDEO GAMES OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!

[@seicobass]

What..... What the hell did you do on level 50....

[@Ferret5317]

Oh, it's a TAS. Pretty awesome though. I've never seen such smooth curve hugging.

[@RizenLink]

1:55 holy crud he finished so fast the 2D "ball" that overlays the monkey is turned wrong so it looks like an oval.

[@joeypinger2448]

it also happened at extra 9

[@Ninetails2000]

Wait, that's a Sprite!?

[@Yoshimaster96smwc]

Um, it's a 3D model you know...

[@markseaman6290]

Permanent Jaw Drop throughout the entire video. My reaction to each and every stunt was "He/She's not gonna!?! NO F**KIN' WAY!" Props to you.

[@Knux576]

All the stunts in this video were easy for him to do, because this is a TAS. He was able to use save states, slow the game down and use frame advance.

[@markseaman6290]

Don't care, still awesome. (Thanks for the info on what TAS means though.)

[@Knux576]

***** True, a TAS takes months to make and requires thorough testing and knowledge about the game's coding, but I'd say a TAS still is easier than an RTA.

[@AGZhark]

@@markseaman6290 Passive aggressive

[@DolphinsAllDay]

Woooooow. Even with TAS, I find this impressive. I would know, since I've only cleared Expert 7 twice lmao

[@NinjastarCompass]

Same

[@Leppa10]

Poor Gongon. Gets locked out even when you play as him lol For some reason I'm an Aiai main

[@hudwalk]

Through out lvl 6 i was really impressed

[@Maxxieuguu]

In my opinion, tases are way better than runs by humans, simply because bots can pull of way more mad tricks and glitches than humans can and that is just plain epic if you ask me.

[@pwkotor47]

Awesome run, laughed out loud at some parts

[@xaMi]

My mind is currently in the stratosphere, good job!

[@SD-MB-BB-CR]

13:08 you can see Gongon hidden behind the brick tower in the up left corner you'll see the green ball

[@Tales98]

Those strats were so smart! I really loved this :D

[@ShiroCat33]

[@GamingPhysics526]

Yeah, I think it was only then when I realized who was our true savior in times of hardship.

[@ShougaTouki]

I really cannot imagine how long it takes to make a TAS. The ones that are more than an hour must take an insanely long time to do.

The thing is until you can beat it consistently expert 7 is the hardest expert stage

TAS is a computer playing the game

[@AmazingXaw2]

No a tas is a tool assisted speed run. That means he is using slowdowns and rewinds while saving his input then playing the input and recording it

[@Sonicspeedruner]

WOW

[@Gold_Tail]

anyone know of a 100% TAS?

[@Andrew-ru4op]

So how exactly to TASes work?

[@JustinKoenigSilica]

you control the game frame by frame and choose what keys to press at what frame by a program.

[@Evello37]

Justin Koenig Exactly. You still need to plan things out and know what to press when, you just get to go frame by frame rather than reacting to things in real time.

[@NikoCubeRoot]

3:46 Is that said Sega?

[@alanahodges5207]

Emergency Power yes

[@Greattechno]

I don't see why person waited for the goal in Extra 3. It's not hard to run nearly straight into the goal, and I've done it faster this way without TAS.

[@CyclopsDragon]

Got a replay of that you could share?

[@Greattechno]

I wish I could, but for some reason my emulator doesn't record my gameplay right.

[@CyclopsDragon]

Have you tried using OBS? It's free and it's what I use to record emulator. If you can't get that to work, you can always just play the replay, pause emulation as the monkey hits the goal and take a screenshot. That might be enough to show that it's possible.

[@Greattechno]

Sorry guys, I went back to try this again I could only run straight into the goal for beginner and advanced extra. The Expert one was just a bit too fast. I guess I confused them. I hope a TAS-runner can go back to check if it's possible to do the same for expert, but at least for me, I couldn't.

[@CyclopsDragon]

That makes no sense. The ones in Advanced Extra and Expert Extra are exactly the same.

[@Eternlsunshine]

This gave me anxiety so bad my heart rate went up how the hell 🤭😥

[@ONYXgamerninja]

ONYXgamerninja no its not dumb shit its a HD recorder

[@CazadormonGamesTM]

even though he may have no life thats still some serious skill

[@LilithTheFox]

CazadormonGames ™ No, it really isn't. A TAS is a Tool Assisted Speedrun where you can manage the game frame by frame to complete a game in the fastest time possible.

[@chriswinkler284]

Ready? Dole ;P

[@tommychappell6359]

what is Task anyway?

[@quizzicale827]

Tool assisted speedrun

[@drakhos5820]

What is a TAS? How you do that? :0

[@quizzicale827]

TAS stands for tool assisted speedrun, so all of this is a bot

[@Alaskaxp2]

Actually, you put the inputs in frame by frame, and use savestates.
