TASVideos

Tool-assisted game movies
When human skills are just not enough

Nahoc

I'm Nahoc, a French-Canadian guy. I've been following TASvideos since 2005. I've always enjoyed seeing games pushed to their limits.

Last year (2011), I decided to help the community a bit more and became a publisher/active player.

This year (2012), I currently have 3 new N64 movies published, became a judge, a moderator on the forums and recently obtained the "experienced player" rank.

I mostly do Super Mario 64 TASes, aswell as HD encodes of other TAS movies on the site. You can watch my videos here. I also attempted to submit an improved SM64 "16 stars" run, but it got rejected (see it here).

  • Banjo-Kazooie 100%.
  • Mario Party 1.
  • Improve Chameleon Twist.
  • Bomberman 64 100%.

  • NES
  • SNES
  • N64

- Takes damage to save time
- Genre: Platform
The protagonist of this game is a blue chameleon named Davy who, upon following a rabbit (closely resembling the one from a Lewis Carroll book) into a magical hole in the ground, finds he has taken on a humanoid form.

Chameleon Twist has a total of 6 levels, of which only 4 need to be played through in order to reach the end.

This run is 1:24.63 faster than the previous run.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1999) is the first entry in the Tony Hawk series of video games.

In this run, Nahoc aims to reach the ending credits as fast as possible. Thus, only bronze medals are collected in the 3 competitions and 4 tapes are skipped in the entire run.

If you want to see more THPS action, please see the THPS 2 and the THPS 3 runs.

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 20 frames faster than the previous movie due to a new route and extreme optimization, explained 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.

Note: Higher resolution encodes are available in the thread.

See this movie played back on a real console.

If you're looking for a TAS on the Nintendo DS remake, you can watch it here.

In this run, Nahoc collects all shards while showing off some of the abilities this game has to offer. Please read the submission text for more information.

Chameleon Twist 2 (カメレオンツイスト2) takes place after the events in Chameleon Twist. Davy and his friends (Jack, Fred and Linda) are playing in the forest, still carrying the backpack from his last adventure, when suddenly the rabbit from before falls down and knocks one of the chameleons into the sky.

Contrary to the Chameleon Twist run, all 6 levels need to be played through in order to reach the end; Sky Land, Carnival Land, Ice Land, Great Edo Land, Toy Land and Pyramid Land.
