Submission Text Full Submission Page
Hello! Everybody.
This is my first TAS on wii console. And nsmbwii is one of my favorite smb games. Hope you'll like this movie.

Game Info:

This is New Super Mario Bros wii warped submission! NSMBwii is SMB game on wii. It's similiar as Super Mario Bros 3. But more interesting. New enemies, new items and Mario's new skills. There are a lot of stages in this game. And some secret stages. Sometimes these secret stages can be faster than normal stages. Such as 8-7. Also, the game is a little hard. And much harder than NSMB2 on 3ds. Stages are not short, too.

Ps:

This run only aims fastest time.

Emulator Infomation:

This run is made on Dolphin 3.0-382 (win64), desync fixed by RachelB. You can get it here: 64-bit 32-bit Enable dual core & Enable idle skipping is off. DSP emulator engine chooses DSP LLE recompiler. And be sure that /User/Wii/title/ is empty before watching.

Movie Info:

This is a warped run. I used cannons in movie. Skip from world 1 to world 5, and from world 5 to world 8. Some ideas I learned from nsmbwii record on SDA.
1-1: Grow up by flag. Get Propeller Suit by ? box. Run on spinning wheel to get faster speed. Slide on slope to get faster speed. Using ceiling boosting to get 1 more pixel everytime.
1-2: Use star to be faster.
1-3: Go the secret route. To skip to world 5.
5-1: Use star again.
5-Piranha: Different from SDA record, I get toad's icons on the left first. Because the box will appear on the right finally.
5-3: I didn't choose 5-2. Because 5-3 is faster. I wait for a moment at first. In order to tread first enemy succesfully. If I fly to go across it, time will be slower.
5-tower: Mine is much faster than SDA's record in this stage. Due to accurater maniplation.
5-4: Using bamboo dragonfly to go across the whole stage.
5-boo house: Go a secret route once again. Skip to world 8.
8-1: Slide to get faster speed.
8-2: Run on spinning wheel to get faster speed. Fly to keep speed on part 3. Go a secret route to get to 8-airship faster.
8-7: Use fastest speed. Keep speed while flying.
8-airship: Flying instead of wringing screws.
8-castle: Flying to end input earlier.

Imprvement possible:

Use fastest speed every time by watching speed in memory watch. When dolphin support memory watch.
New glitch.
Luck manipulation.

Thanks:

Speed Demos Archive. I get many ideas from SDA's nsmbwii record.

Nach: I found that some of this run has noticeable improvements. The amount of people pointing out issues on the forum were more than negligible.
While this was a good first run, I think a first TAS of this should be significantly better. Soig, I've seen a bunch of your other TASs, and I know you're capable of a much better job. I hope to see you submit a better run. Till then, rejecting.

It's already possible to do RAM watch in Dolphin. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13462

Just finished watching 1-2, and...i don't like what i see at all. It's very obvious this was done without ram watch. You frequently run down slopes that should be jumped over, or jump overs ones you should not. You held the beams all the right right when it is fastest to just put them one tick to the right, etc. I'm glad to see people tasing with dolphin, but it's a shame to see this submitted when it could be a lot better.

I used your 'ready to use' link on skydrive and I get this upon launch of x86 exe: "This application or DLL 'SDL.dll' is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." Windows XP SP3 x86

Yeah, you're right. To be honest, I know how to watch memory just now.

Syncs fine with the build provided. Good luck encoding it though, since i don't have the source for it anymore (actually it probably syncs fine with this, but not sure). It's not bad overall. Most of the things i mentioned before don't really cost that much time. And someone who hasn't tased this game before is not likely to even notice. I would not object to publishing this, but i would love to see an improvement.

This is one of the few Wii games that run at full speed on my old PC, and since I don't have a Wii, it's also one of the few Wii games that I already played. I'm going home now, but I'll edit this post tomorrow with my thoughts about the run. edit: Can't watch it either, movie ends as soon as the game starts :( let's wait for an encode then.
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

I've encoded a little. But I found that my video's screen has only a part of the whole screen of game. And there is no audio... What should I do?

What is up with this submission text? It's like you threw it through an online translator and just blindly pasted in the results. "Get Bamboo dragonfly by ? box." Bamboo dragonfly? Don't you mean Propeller Suit? I'll check this run out when someone puts up a Youtube encode. Video codecs and Dolphin hate me for some reason.

Yes, you're right. I don't know that suit's English name and didn't search out its name, so I used translator. But I use it to translate some words I don't know, not all the text. And I'll correct it. Thank you for that.

Having finished this game the normal way at 99% I give this warp run a big yes. Now I'd love to see a 100% run. Maybe I'll be able to get the last 2 coins I keep screwing at lol!

I'm pretty sure you could reach that flag earlier at the end of 8-7. Would you correct me if I'm wrong? Except that, I find this TAS interesting.

Interesting game. Reminds me a lot about NSMB. Anyway, yes vote.

Sorry, I don't know how to get to flag earlier. If I jump earlier, I'll get injured. Teach me that please.

Well.... if you did triple jump at that point, you could float slightly more; which means there's extra room to jump earlier. Also, if propelling jump doesn't affect x speed, you can do big jump with triple jump + propeller, while maintaining fast x speed. This may allow Mario to reach the flag much earlier. Did I miss something?

Aside from the few concerns people have stated, I vote yes as I feel this run is optimized and entertaining enough to be published. It will obviously be improved since it's human nature and since this is a mario game and so forth. Good job Soig.

As others have said, it may be improvable, yes, but in a game as complex as this one it will be even when we think there's no more improvements to be done. In any case, I found it to be really entertaining and I'm all in favor of it being published. In other words, BIG yes vote :)

Very nice run! Voting yes of course. By the way, you can collect a star in 8-2, have you tested if it's faster?
