TASBot plays the INSANE Item Abuse 3 TAS by PangeaPanga

This is the follow-up to Item Abuse 1 and 2, which in turn was inspired by Pit of Despair and Pit of Death. The TAS-only hacks are sometimes referred to as Pit hacks while the superplayer hacks are called Kaizo hacks.

I randomly got an impulse to watch old Item Abuse videos. As someone who’s only ever played the base SMW game, the amount of familiarity with the engine and all its quirks, glitches, and exploits that it’d take to conceive of any of these obstacles, along with the patience to build them and actually _put together_ the TAS in the process to prove it’s possible - I don’t know how those tools really work or what Panga’s process was like, but I assume there was a lot of frame-by-frame input programming and testing - absolutely blows my mind. I have a lot of appreciation for the skill and patience of RTA speedrunners (which I know Panga does too). But TAS construction is an incredible feat of its own kind. Building a game or romhack specifically around that art, all the more so. Maybe it was Trimming the Herbs that planted the seed of Mario TASing in my mind again. I’m still not happy about Ahoyo waiting until a week or two after The Last Dance’s clear to confess, but taken for what it is, the construction of TtH is still something pretty impressive. The fact that Ahoyo almost cleared bombs5 legit makes it clear that he really did have a deep understanding of SMM1. I know the tool he used was kept a secret until his confession, but I don’t know if any others were developed for SMM1 between then and when uploads ended. It’d be sweet to see a 500-second level that shows the kind of expertise the Item Abuse hacks have, especially since I know SMM1 was so glitchy as to put SMM2’s broken-track teleports, fake blocks, and Wiggler hardlocks to shame. (I should ask in a place where people will actually see it, ha.) Would’ve been a lot harder to develop, I’m sure, given how much more mature SNES emulators (and presumably speedrun tools) are. And, of course, mad props to Sanyx for RTAing TtH. Legendary Mario feat, there.

The average Mario maker 2 level I see

[@jhen890]

Actually is not a smm2 level, is a hackrom from smw, it probably can be replicated in smm2, but that's only possible if nintendo don't patched some particular and necesary glitches to move around the level, and of course, if there's a human able to beat legitimally the level... The guy that created this hackrom, was trying to beat his own game during 3 YEARS, and he needed to use tools only aviable by emulation, so he did it, but in a TAS; "TOOL ASISTED SPEEDRUN", and since he uploaded the hackrom (prety much years before), he was the only one human that beated it, even if was with help(and taking 3 years of pracpractice... luckly, in recent years there was appear some others (humans) that beated his game too, but that guy's are only 2, and the second im not even sure if exists, was a rumor, or a TAS machine like this one, than beated it automatically... The point is, around the WHOLE WORLD, there's with some luck 3 guys than beated Item abuse 3, if i don't miss some one else, and ALL THEY NEEDED SPECIAL EMULATION TOOLS... you can account the humans that beated Item Abuse 3 witout even need all the fingers of only one of your hands, and all they needed help from special tools only aviable emulating... and to upload something in mario maker you have to beat your level at once... it's a littlest surrealstic belive than soon can appear a guy able to beat that thing whitout tools... and don't reminding again, the level need some certain glitches and tricks, that nintendo surely patched a big part of them...

I dont see anybodies reasoning. It's just some guys commentating on how amazing their TAS is. Are you honestly this amazed at an old 16 bit video-game being exploited and broken? super mario world wasn't coded by God. and yes i am very cynical.

[@TheSquareOnes]

It's less "woah how can this game be broken" and more "woah how did Panga actually string together this much broken tech this precisely." You do realize that this hack wasn't handed down by God either, right? Someone had to actually build this piece by piece with all of the many hours of testing that entails (better even getting into the creativity of designing something this intricate). Nobody marvels at the concept of staining a canvas but it's still quite reasonable to appreciate a masterfully produced painting. Regardless of how many House reruns you watch, cynicism isn't always a sign of intellect or that a statement has been thought out particularly well.
