I lost many minigames on purpose to manipulate the RNG (for example, to get toad to get the 5 coin staruz)
The zip file includes only the DSM. The avi were broken into 10 parts so I couldn't use them. I will upload the avi's to my youtube soon.
A little info on this TAS:
I TAS a 30 turn round to try and get 50 stars possible. I managed to do it! I even got a bonus star, thus I got 51.

Noxxa: Judging.
Noxxa: Hello GRDM, and welcome to TASVideos. Unfortunately, your run is not up to standards for publication on our site, for the following reasons:
  • Optimization is lacking. You go through the initial menus slowly, and during most minigames you just autofire A with seemingly no regard for optimization. You also set your name in-game, replacing the firmware default name, instead of setting up the firmware file to begin with.
  • The goal choice is arbitrary. You set up a party game with an arbitrary amount of turns, instead of running a mode more suitable for running such as Story Mode. Getting 50 stars is itself an arbitrary goal, which generally does not make for a good category choice.
  • Because the run uses Party Mode, it is incredibly boring to watch, as there is a lot of time between each minigame. Viewer feedback was exceedingly poor because of this.
As other users have commented in the thread, please read through the Guidelines - in particular, please read up about selecting your goals well, and about how to optimize your run better.
Better luck next time!
