There's something a little poetic about the last legitimate Mario Maker 1 level beaten was called The Last Dance.

But seriously I hope someone gets it, that would be one hell of a send-off for players in 2024 to be good enough to beat something considered TAS-only in 2017.

I hope people stop bothering ahoyo if that’s what they ultimately want but I’d still like to hear more about the TAS method. Thabeast said it was a raspberry pi that they were able to sync with the Wii U but he still seemed a bit skeptical about that working.

Edit: also I still hope beast or lilkirb get the human clear in the level before servers go down

He made a mario maker level with a fake clear video years ago. Who loving cares

*quack*


Yeah like it sucks but the guy made the level 7 years ago for a level contest, told the creators of said contest that he tased it due to this hands starting to fail on him, then planned on revealing how he tased it before he sort of just forgot about it and stopped streaming entirely. Like he should have probably told everyone sooner once this whole project got underway but I can't blame him for not anticipating it, especially since it is intended to be beatable.

The story is the guy used his student loans to buy crypto and a streaming rig. He bombed out of college, bombed out of gaming, bombed out of crypto, and left the internet. He had absolutely nothing to gain by admitting it was TASed, but did the right thing. It’s gotta be unbelievably heinous to have to own up to some dumb poo poo you did in college that inexplicably became seismically important. A random cheated level made to troll a couple hundred people became a huge deal out of nowhere.

I think after Bombs5 was beaten, he just assumed one lucky person could clutch Herbs, and that’s why he waited so long to own up to it.

And I still find it perfect that the last uncleared MM level turned out to be a troll. Even more perfect than the final one being The Last Dance.

normally you have to clear a stage before you can upload it. in the case of trimming the herbs, the creator did not clear it -- they used a tool-assisted speedrun to clear it for them.

that's not valid for courses part of the 100%-clear challenge.

ohh yes I already knew that, I thought maybe there was something inadmissible about sanyx91's completion. IMO if that was done legit (which it seems like it was) they should get the bounty regardless :colbert:

In that whole story, I saw Bombs5 mentioned multiple times but never actually looked it up. Did that now and wow, that first (and only?) human clear is insane. From my dumb outsider view, it looks a lot harder and more improbable than TTH :stonk:

To those figuring this wouldn't be connected to speedrunning, a lot of it is "here's an invisible wall that exists in the game (and why it exists), and here's a clip of it frustrating a speedrunner". There's a lot of speedrun clips and a lot of tips to avoid bonking into invisible walls.

First round games list is out for SGDQ. Some highlights for me:

Peanut Butter is back! Ain't no rule says a dog can't play Ken Griffey Jr.'s Major League Baseball. Live and in person this time!
Kaizo Super Mario relay race. Those have consistently been some of the best events at GDQ for me. Also a Super Mario Maker troll level race.
I'm looking forward to Grand Poo World 3, It's a great romhack with some very fun moments.
Link to the Past all dungeons swordless, should add some new variety to one of my favorite games.
Super Mario 64 randomizer blindfolded. Apparently they play the randomizer through normally, brainstorm a blindfold route during the run, and then do it blindfolded. Sounds interesting, I tend to like any runs that require improvisation.
Super Metroid any% race. I guess it's clear I'm just all about the SNES runs, but also the races in general are usually fun.

What are some people's "Top 5" speedruns in terms of the skill needed to pull it off and how entertaining it is to actually watch.
