This is a New Crazy Taxi TAS that just finally came out after so many years!
So This time in Crazy Taxi i decided to do a run on Original Map which is a different map than the regular map from the arcade!
Tags: This has been done on the hardest low time and hardest Traffic Difficulty which known Hard Difficulty
GOAL: The goal is to reach 20,000,00 before the time runs out, but it seems like i got more than 20,000,00 huh...
Why Pick Gena as my Crazy Taxi?
The best pick is simple gena is the best pick for this tas because her car is very small that she can fit through traffic easily in very tight places that you might in this tas! Another thing i like to add that she have a very good handling.
How am i driving so fast?
The answer is this: the way how crazy taxi works there is a technique called limiter cut or is it limiter boost? whatever anyways, this is how it works once you put your car on Reverse and then you put it on Drive you press the button to drive then you ended up getting more faster while getting more boost, but the tricky part about this trick it requires timing to do, you can't spam it, you just have to wait for a few moments then you can do it again.
Why Pick Original Map?
I pick this map because since solarplex did the Arcade Map then i should do the Original Map since it haven't been done yet, and the other reason like the last map it has insane traffic just because of difficulty i put it on hard.
Gaining Cash?
Gaining Cash is the part and the main goal of the game, its how we get rank 1 and crazy license, so the how earning money works is, we need close to traffic while not hitting so that more combos we get the more money goes up, the only time money earnings shows up if you have a customer in the car not when there is no customer in the car, the other way is to earn big money is by drifting, so drifitng is a very important and fun mechanic for this run especially for the only glitch in this game.
Wall Drifting Glitch
Note: This is the Oldest Glitch Thats been in the game for so many years
So the way how the glitch works is simple, once you go very fast while drifting, you will collide with wall sideways, but you will still gain combos WHILE you drift on the wall which is a cool glitch i done this run 2 times!
Note: I manage to improve this run by getting 20,000,00$ in the matter 4 minutes i think its still good improvement even though i did 5 CUSTOMERS!

A quick look at the encode suggests that this is an improvement over the published movie, but that input hasn't been truncated and lasts throughout the entire credits, making it show a slower time.

They are using completely different maps, plus the publication has the results screen show up at 6:09 in the encode while this submission they show up at 4:39.

this is hilarious! the wallride made it even funnier
TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

The Difference is This is done on a different map Which is called original, this is a improvement which is 4:36, so once there will be a judge on this submission hopefully it can replace my file so things wont get too confusing as the time says 7:18 on top. the other huge difference with this run is i manage to get 20,000,00$ without a lot of customers, which i only done is 5 customers which is a less, which is nice and fast

Considering this is done on a different map, I feel like it should be in its own branch like “Original map” or something like that.

Crazy!!! No idea how to judge whether what was done is optimal at all, but it is so abundantly clear that it's a TAS going at it full throttle. Nice moments include the passenger that gets in saying 'you almost killed me!' and a sidetrip driving back and forth from the target area to do some ghost driving. The wall drifting feels a bit arbitrary to me, but crazy game, crazy tas in any case.

I enjoyed watching your Crazy Taxi TAS. I need to ask about the Wall Drift bug however. When you start the final Wall Drift with the final customer you have about $7500 and only about 10 seconds left on the clock. When that remaining time you abort the Wall Drift with 3 seconds to go yet you end up with about $22000. So that means in only 7 seconds of Wall Drift you were able to get about $14500. This makes me question the length of the TAS. The first customer gives you 60 seconds on the clock. If the rate of money is the same where you can get $14500 in 7 seconds after getting the combo rate up, why not spend 20 to 25 seconds (or whatever it takes) Wall Drifting with the first customer and get well over $20000?

the wall drifting is very situational mostly, if i did it early i would lose more time on the clock for the first customer or the 2nd customer or 3rd customer i would be more focused on crazy jumps and crazy traffic throughs, more because the traffic in this huge map is pretty important, but the crazy through and crazy drift goes together if you look closely in the Crazy Taxi TAS, thats why i focus on the traffic more but at the end thats when the wall drift glitch comes in handy... i didnt do it because its not the right time to do it

Sorry on the late reply, been busy lately. Noticed that the input really should end when you achieve $20,000 since that should be enough to get the ending. Could you provide a new input file with it truncated?

Hello SJ. I have uploaded a truncated version here. This is what I meant with ending early input. Your new file was 16787 frames in length. this is 15858 frames in length which would cut off a significant chunk and still get the ending. https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638659694070056090 Please review this file. Does this look correct to you? if it does I could replace the current version with this one.
