Speed runners found Tingle Tuner useful and I'm not talking about Tingle bombs. I'm talking about healing Link during a Zombie hover.

He's holding a Blanka figure, you see that figure a lot in his Twitter page.

Not counting the touch screen shortcuts but does it feature input shortcuts to execute harder moves much more easily?
E.g
Fei Long's Flame Kick
Normal Input: Back -> Down -> Down+Back + K
Shortcut Input: Back->Toward->Back + K

@ JesusSaves
"So does it contain a prerecorded set of inputs or something?"
Yep it uses a .fm2 input file that was made by using FCEUX http://tasvideos.org/1715M.html

Bad hit decection, not fake at all

Here is a list of Mario glitches:

Jiano did a 120 star run followed by a 1 star run for Speed Demos Archive: Awesome Games Done Quick

1 Star run done on Console, no TAS

Just glitching Golgo, cheating is when you use an AR or Gameshark which the run never uses

1upSuper, your comments are great.

Useful links for those not familar to TASes.

• The S in TAS can also mean "Tool Assisted Superplay" where the run puts more focus on entertainment rather than just pure speed.

@zss_shadow
"It even lists the new tools used on the site..... less tools or a shorter time?"

Are you refering to new tricks like Pause BLJ or actual tools like Lua Scripts, input plugins, frame advance, save states?

"Arguably, this game could probably be done in four minutes or less if someone amped up the amount of tools used,"

The problem now is that they tried and failed to get into the Basement before Bowser in the Dark World, and glitching through the upper floor doesn't load up properly (you need a key and unlock it to load up the section properly). If you ignore Peach's cutscene at the start, the gameplay itself is under 5 minutes long.

It would be a milestone if sub 4 minutes is possible.

Edit: @ Link-Hero

"Have you ever seen any world records with people who used any of the methods above to reach that goal? No, you don't."

Ever bought the Guiness Book of World Records Gamer Edition? They mention some glitched runs like Diablo in 3 minutes and Final Fantasy Tactics.

@ zss_shadow

That one is nearly 3 years old and is nearly 40 seconds slower than the current run.

For those people saying:
"Get a life"

“Why would you waste your time on a glitched speedrun/speedrunning in general?” –
Why would you waste your time on anything in your life? In many ways, speedrunning is similar to playing the piano: you keep practicing and practicing until you can finally produce something enjoyable (a quick video or music). With piano playing, however, it is very unlikely that you will ever be the best. But it is very possible, with enough practice and determination, to be the best at (tool assisted) speedrunning a certain game. Part of getting the fastest time is glitching, route planning and optimisation. Furthermore, judging by ratings, people who watch speedrun videos will on average prefer glitching to standard routes. Perhaps starting a charity to cure AIDS in Africa would be a more productive use of your time. But as far as personal hobbies go, (tool assisted) speedrunning is a great way to set goals and accomplish them and get a fair amount of Internet prominence for your activities. It is not for everyone, but it is not a waste of time any more than playing an instrument without extreme levels of talent.
