Oh, that's too bad.
Anyway, I've watched all the videos linked to here and they're all really entertaining. I hope Huffle or someone makes a full GP/Mission Mode TAS.
I'm currently working on a full missions mode TAS, hopefully I will have the patience to complete it.
ALAKTORN is contributing with strategy ideas (and a bit of actual TASing). If anyone else has strategies or glitches, please share. I'm half way through level 2, but ideas for previous missions are
still welcome; I will edit them in.
I've created a game resources page for mkds, so check it out if you're into TASing this game.
there's a new All Missions TAS:
[novideo]this TAS sucks don't watch it sorry guise i'm still a noob remember pls especially you masterjun (aka. ACE Boy)[/video]
Removed videoplaceholder because said TAS is not Optimized.

Kurabupengin, could you please start checking if the videos you post are actually good? You are wasting everyone's time, seriously.
The fact that drifting gives you a boost is not a secret, but that guy doesn't even seem to notice that.
Here is a fairly optimized Level 1.
Warning: Might glitch to creditsI will finish this ACE soon as possible
(or will I?)

<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.

Alright, take it from me then: I'm not familiar with the game at all and even I could tell that it was sloppy and horribly done. It looked like it was done in realtime with re-records by someone who had never played a game in the series prior to this TAS.
I get the feeling you're doing the same kind of thing Patashu does, looking for TASes of all sorts and posting them in threads to help people out, and that's fine! It's just that not all TASes are guaranteed quality, especially on the breeding ground of ignorance and low effort that is Youtube, so I'd recommend watching a few minutes before posting videos here just to make sure there's something in there that can help. Hell, if you're still unsure after watching, you can run them by me in a PM or something.
Everyone else (in here and in other threads where I've seen this), I understand how you feel and all that, but the responses are a little harsh considering he's only trying to help. If someone's feeling bullied by your words and you weren't intending for that to happen, it might be wise to, y'know, say things nicer. Don't make me turn this car around. Your father-mother and I are watching you.

I guess I could throw an update in here.
Suuper is slowly working through the missions, and is currently on Mission 4-1. Yes, there has been a ton of work done behind the scenes, the levels 1 TAS Masterjun posted has been widely improved upon as well. I’m not sure if Suuper will make any progress public before the full run is done, but be sure it’s being worked on and it’s great.
I also have a treat about Mission 1-Boss sitting on my PC about how its TAS has evolved into its current form, which is really different from what is done in the one Masterjun posted, and it’s super cool. I’ve just been busy with a bunch of other stuff so I never ended up making a video for it yet. I’m also not that great at encoding… now that I think about it I might just ask a friend to encode it for me. Don’t know if Suuper wants to release an updated levels 1 before I upload the 1-Boss vid, but I think he’s fine with it.
So, I might soon upload a vid about the Mission 1-Boss TAS, and the whole thing might get done before the year’s over. Maybe.
By the way I think there are like 10 frames total of my input in the TAS so far, I’ve mostly been idea guy, suggesting a few things here and there.

[9:58:18] ALAKTORN: just had a mad idea
[9:58:30] ALAKTORN: since MKDS keeps playing for a few frames after you press Retry
[9:58:38] ALAKTORN: what if 1 frame before the mission is over you do Mission Select
[9:58:51] ALAKTORN: will it unlock the next mission or not? I guess not but it’d be interesting to check
[10:35:05] suuper_w: I was about to go to bed, but then I saw this. Too interesting, must test.
[10:38:14] suuper_w: It does give me the completion. :O
[10:38:25] suuper_w: You just saved us loads of time. :D
[10:41:45] suuper_w: Well, I've got some work to do tommorrow. lol
[10:42:22] suuper_w: I'm slightly disappointed that this means I can't hop at the end of a mission anymore. lol
[10:45:24] suuper_w: I can pause up to 30 frames before I finish.
[10:47:14] suuper_w: This saves about 3.9 seconds per mission.
[10:47:22] ALAKTORN: YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[10:47:26] suuper_w: Omg, that's awesome.
[10:47:34] ALAKTORN: YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[10:47:56] ALAKTORN: 30 frames before you finish? holy shit lmao
[10:47:59] suuper_w: That's a total of 4 minutes through the entire 7 levels.
[10:48:14] ALAKTORN: dude I can’t fucking believe this
[10:48:15] ALAKTORN: so good
[10:48:18] ALAKTORN: this is amazing

TASVideos is like a quicksand, you get in, but you cannot quit the sand
I used this trick in my Micro Machines TAS for N64. I had to hex edit every level because I found it so late. It saved a lot of time though. A similar trick works in Diddy Kong Racing.
Yeah, it’s a common trick in speedruns. Similar to resetting at cutscenes to skip them. Sometimes when you focus on optimizing other things it’s hard to remember about these tricks, so much so that I didn’t even do that unless it was subconscious.
On a related note, I saved 1 frame on 4-4, lol. With 2-Boss I think that’s 2 frames I’ve saved by input so far. For some reason there’s a 1 frame timing after a bounce where activating the shroom gives you 41k speed as opposed to 38k, and I accidentally hit it while trying to do other things. Actually the timing is more like 3 frames or so, but only on 1 specific frame it saves 1 frame. Didn’t really understand why, maybe Suuper will once he looks into it.
does hopping counts as remaining in the air and conserves the lastest speed?
if so, maybe hopping at 1 frame before you exists will save time. (if you cannot handle the kart after you exist.)
and how do you exist the game? does pressing two buttons(start and down, start for pausing and down to move cursor) at the same time saves a frame?
