I kinda love how he just completely clowned around during all the song sections, but then played the final one perfectly straight.

I’m amazed at the strategy used at 2:55:07. Bombing yourself, in order to get invincibility frames, so that the phantom rolls past you. That’s brilliant

[@miajoe8467]

How About The Heart Pieces, You Dope?!

[@MorningBagel69]

the fact that you watched until there is crazy

[@TrevorJuve]

The train horn going to the music, even changing when monsters appeared, made me break into a big-ol' goofy grin. And the rapid track changing at 48:27? Hilarious. I love it when even the people behind the TAS are having fun with it. I kinda wish there was (English) commentary to point out all the fun they had that I didn't notice, since I'm not too familiar with the game and may not have known which things were optional that they just did for fun.

Hearing the Duet at the end being TAS'd and even it sounding exactly like the cutscene after it is just so goddamn perfect 😭😭

[@GLYCEMusic]

Major props to whoever was in charge of editing the screen positions.

[@Spikechive]

Fun Fact: That script was basically completed in 3 days since the TAS was submitted in the worst possible month, December. We tend try and get all publications out before the new year (the ones that got accepted) and I made that script in that small amount of time with a handful of errors. Now... if only we knew that it wasn't going to be accepted before the year end. And yes, DS is one of the systems that gets some QC before a final encode... especially the insane ones.

[@CubemasterXD]

how is noone talking about how the 5th boss just sank into the floor and fell from space (3:21:55)

[@TheRealSarceus]

I forgot how good the sound design in this game is. It's definitely way better than Phantom Hourglass in this regard.

[@not_martini2954]

It was next level, I would say for overall soundtrack it’s up there but not as good as other soundtracks like skywards sword that nail it

Going through a huge nostalgia trip lately, and this game will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember seeing the trailers constantly in stores, I'd watch them on my iPod Touch when I was 9 just waiting for this game to release. I truly was not disappointed. And to see such an amazing TAS of one of my favorite games makes me so happy. Thank you for putting all the time and energy into this.

[@finn_underwood]

3:21:50 is bonkers. From what I gather, by taking out two skele-joints at once, you cause this glitch to occur... which is *wild* to see. Fantastic discovery.

[@RashardKnowles]

How many train traffic laws did TAS break in this video?

[@blacksmeim8791]

All of them

How much time do you have?

OMG! A TAS of one of my favorite Zelda games?!? HECK YEAH!!!

[@zierin705]

I feel ya, bro. Spirit Tracks is an absolute classic and I will have NO ONE tell me otherwise.

[@CheesieTubes]

I love how it just screws around in the pan flute play along parts because those are soooooo broken

[@chackbro1]

This may be one of my new favorite TASes. I love the instant touch screen gameplay, the unique tactics, and just how they play around while waiting (y'know the whistle and whatever tool they need to use next). I huge mix between revisiting this game for the first time since launch and those small details just kept me glued the full time. Thank you very much.

[@firengel2807]

I came to see how we were supposed to succeed the part at 2:32:22. Nevermind.

[@joeschmoe5063]

I saw this and was wondering how much time it saves from the RTA runs. Only about 15-20 minutes

[@reverberate10]

only?

[@toripoppo_tas]

because there's not useful glitch and DS loading is very very very slow than WiiU VC. actual time save is roughly estimated 30 min or more (from the author of this TAS)

[@Caddynars]

That’s like hours in speedrunner time.

[@zeroqp]

Is his game meme worthy? I feel like it is. It's like someone challenged Nintendo to put Link in a random situation, like "I bet you can't make a game where Link is a train driver" Nintendo: "hold my stylus"

[@gohcheetiong2527]

More hilariously is that imagine if Link said this "Right,I'm gonna end the whole monster's career!".

[@mastersword5838]

I love how the snowmen enemies in the snow biome sound like bowling pins when they're hit

[@MellyMellouange]

So like, the cinematic panning doesn't happen on its own, right? The TAS actually had to make it happen through input, right?

[@fierysoul1357]

The panning is something that they made happen, typically when you play the game you can move the camera around to look at different things or areas

[@katalbinson6562]

1:46:00 It’s to the music! 😂

The 4th temple had a lot of lag lol Also Skeldritch was certainly an interesting battle (and the entire Sand Temple is a work of art TAS-ed).

In most Zelda games there's a freeze frame/impact frame when hitting enemies and those result in a tiny bit of time loss. I feel you though

Is there a possibility, that you are doing a TAS with speedhack and Moonjump included ? That would be absolutely awesome. I would even pay for that

[@jyke321]

I started replaying the game the other day and my first thought was if there were any speed runs line the other zeldas. I hope exploits are looked into because so far it seems like optimization of expected gameplay. If only skips were found lol. Still impressed by the work put into this though, there were so many times I went to attack an enemy and accidentally rolled instead because I double tapped.

[@TakaMaru777]

wonderful, much respect

[@cursedred_]

This zelda game and phantom hourglass was so odd at the time when it came out on ds. Now I kinda wish they put ds games on switch so I can play it.

[@ReySilverskin]

I have one question. Why bother drawing train routes? Wouldn't it be faster to skip it and just switch tracks manually the whole way?

[@toripoppo_tas]

Basically, the game always forces player to draw the path. The TAS draws the paths in 2 frames -- the shortest time.

[@thatguyoverthere1887]

@@toripoppo_tas well i could be shortened to just one frame, so the one frame required to take off can be used for routing and then the rest of the route can be done manually, making the run ever so slightly faster, by just one frame each time the train is required.

[@toripoppo_tas]

@@thatguyoverthere1887 No. No matter what route the player specify, as long as it can be drawn the fastest and actually the player drew it the fastest time, it will not affect the time.

[@thadeusaegeon3491]

Is there a speedrun that can be done using the moonjump and super speed? That can take out a lot of time.

[@toripoppo_tas]

im working now

[@thadeusaegeon3491]

@@toripoppo_tas I discovered something with moonjump that you can skip most of the tower of spirits. So when you first go to the tower, the rest of the floors aren't there, but turns out there is a small barrier stopping you from going. The stairs are actually still there. Moonjumping over the barrier allows a tower skip into the 5th section, but I haven't done anything else after that since I don't want to crash my game.

[@toripoppo_tas]

[@LittleCheetahCub]

Would you ever do a 100% TAS for this game? I'd love to see the differences between the TAS and the WR

[@marcosperezomg]

I feel like a solid 75% of it would just be transporting resources and people for sidequests which would be boring to watch. There is way too much train travel in a 100% playthrough and you can only watch so much train horn music sync, cinematic camera pans, or perfect cannon shots before it starts to get boring. Would definitely be interesting to watch a segmented TAS on all the optional minigames though.
