http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

[2051] PSX Croc: Legend of the Gobbos "100%" by RingRush in 1:18:35.43 Croc, game of my childhood, broken in a number of astounding ways by our dear RingRush.

[2053] N64 Bomberman 64 by Nahoc in 23:38.55 [2005] Wii Mega Man 10 "Bass, Hard Mode" by diggidoyo in 28:18.25 Not sure if this is a good place but, shouldn't N64 be split from the other consoles in this category? It has a good share of movies, more than the DS for example.

I'll nominate [1984] N64 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 by Nahoc in 05:18.72 Pretty cool tricks displayed while still aiming for the fastest time

[1985] N64 Chameleon Twist 2 by Nahoc in 21:57.27 [2089] Wii World of Goo by STBM in 31:30.88 Besides, I agree with darkzero. Last year there was quite many N64 TASes; it's unfair to categorize them altogather as '3D consoles games'.

I like how we have a couple of 2d games in here.

[3695] GC 007 Nightfire (USA) in 42:30.4 by gamerfreak5665. It may not be the most optimized TAS of all time, but it's still the first Gamecube TAS and I enjoyed it.
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.

Many impressive runs; I loved both OoT runs. But I truly think the award should go to SM64 "120 Stars". I think the re-records count speaks for itself.

The two OoT and Mario64 are really impressive and very optimized, they all deserve this award, but I voted for the 120 stars because... My mind was really blown by this one.

My vote is for the 120 star. Even though I am one of the many authors, I believe this run was the best 3D TAS of 2012. The years of effort that went into it, how fast paced it is, and the fact that it even got finished are my main reasons for this vote.
