Hello fellow TASers, I'm Kyman. I love making tool-assisted speedruns, that's why I'm a part of this lovely website. I'm from Ontario, in Canada. Also, I'm 14, making me one of the youngest TASers to have published content on the site. I first learned about TASing by watching an obscure Super Mario 64 TAS on YouTube (no it wasn't spezzafer's famous 16 star TAS). Then I found TASVideos shortly after around 2007 back when I was 10-11. I started making very bad SM64 TASes on YouTube. After a while, I slowly started to get better. I then came out from lurking the forums and joined in 2008. At the time, I made some very stupid posts, and it's good thing nobody (hopefully) noticed. Over time though, I have become a better TASer, and more importantly, a better person. To this day, I have many published movies on this website. :)

| Bobby's World is a platformer for the SNES inspired by the TV show of the same name. The author exploits a throwing glitch, and manages to complete the game in just over 10 minutes. | ||

| Tiny Toon Adventures (1993), based on a cartoon show of the same name, is a fairly easy game to play. However, it has a nasty bug lurking within it: if you press left and right simultaneously (you can do it if you break your controller's directional pivot), you can get some impressive momentum. This is an improvement of 17 seconds over the previously published run. | ||

| In a normal playthrough, this game is quite long. You must save four family members then progress to the final area to complete the game. However, the authors use a glitch to skip directly to the final area, skipping 4/5ths of the game; in addition, several new glitches allow more of the final area to be skipped. This new movie improves upon the previous movie by about 13 seconds. | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the new movie.At first there were 70 stars because Bowser demanded it. Then there were 16 stars because MIPS the rabbit demanded it. Then there was 1 star because Bowser's Sub demanded it. Now there are none because the viewers are impatient and demanded the game be quicker. As with many other runs on this site, the goal of pure speed has resulted in the complete breaking of the game. Very little of the game's normal play remains. If you'd like to see more of what Super Mario 64 offers, see the 120 stars run. This movie is approximately 24 seconds faster than the previous movie due to a series of improvements discovered by the authors, detailed in the submission message. Super Mario 64 has a history of publications on this site. If you wish to see how it unfolded since the beginning, see the page SM64TASHistory. Also, if you have a hankering to see MIPs the rabbit, the 16 stars route has been improved. | ||
Chameleon Twist I was considering doing a TAS of this game to obsolete bobmario511's run, but lost motivation because it isn't the funnest game to TAS. Then Nahoc came along and obsoleted it. After that, I found a 5 second improvement to his movie, but I don't know if I will continue work on this.
Bram Stoker's Dracula This seems like a good game choice that hasn't been done yet. Just too lazy to plan damage routes and death routes. It could be pretty good though. Aero the Acrobat 1 & 2 Sonikkustar and I were going to do TASes of both of these game but we lost motivation. Although Sonikkustar did find a very coo trick taking death as a shortcut. If you have interest in TASing any of these games with me, feel free to either PM me on the forums or send a message to me on IRC, I am usually always online.
