It's Time to make Some More Crazy are you ready here we go!

Hello SJ Is here again Submitting Another Next Level Crazy Taxi TAS you will ever see.
So Today 11/2/2024 i thought about how can i improve Arcade Record That SolarPlex Did in His Arcade Crazy Taxi TAS solarplex's GC Crazy Taxi in 05:53.18
So when i woke up in the morning i got work, i boot up my wii u play some Crazy Taxi On the Arcade Map and i did it, i found a perfect route for the Arcade Map, by only getting 4 Customers with $20,000,00!
But Before i tell you the new Route for the Arcade Map i wanna discuss some basics of the game like i did with my last submission.

Game Objectives

  • Using the Hardest Difficulty
  • Fastest Completion for Crazy License
  • RNG Manipulation
  • Uses Shortest Time

Why i choose Gena as My Crazy Taxi Character

You might be wondering why i choose Gena because its simple, she have the best handling plus good steering, here is the best part about her Taxi Car it's very Small Compared to other characters in the game, since her Taxi Car is small she can fit tight gaps between Traffic to make this TAS even Crazier, you might notice sometimes when i drive i almost hit the cars between getting through that tight space which is Radical to think about it!
2nd Reason for picking Gena She is my Favorite Character...

Money Mechanic

This is how Money Works in Crazy Taxi, you can earn money in Crazy Taxi By Doing Drifting, Crazy Throughs which is avioding hitting Traffic, keep in mind that Drifting and Crazy throught's go together as combos. Keep in mind the more Chain Combos you do in Crazy Taxi the more MONEY YOU EARN!

Tricks Used in this TAS

Limiter Cut

Limiter Cut is a game mechanic where you put your Taxi Car on reverse, then put it on drive, which gives you a big boost but the tricky about this Trick is that, that it has a certain timing to do it, your not allowed to like spam, you have to do timing right in order to do a limiter cut, it can be tough for new players but after all they can master it in no time like i did, when i played Crazy Taxi.

Wall Drifting or Wall Riding

Wall Drifting is a Trick That's been in the game for years in Crazy Taxi, which you will see in this TAS a lot, So what is Wall Drifting, well Wall Drifting is a Trick where you got a lot speed, then your drift onto a wall but its like your riding on the wall but your still drifting, while you are drifting, the game still thinks your on the ground while drifting but in reality your just drifting on a wall while chain combos still keeps going like crazy no puninteded lol, thats pretty much simple cool trick.

Arcade Map Route i made myself while theorizing

The Driving you seeing Perfect and Optimized, when i arrive to my Customers i stop closely so they can get in faster not only that when i get to my destination i make smart parking during my run as you can see, when you see me crash its not a mistake, it was intensional to just get through traffic
  • 1st Girl Customer First off we are at the at starting point of the match but first we will get this girl Customer that's right in front of us that bring us to Cable Car Stop Top, which is a good move because in this Arcade Map its not a good idea to go backwards because there is barley any customers except the 4 of them behind but if you go further there isn't anymore customers until you go further down in the map thats why i choose the first girl as my customer.
  • 2nd Girl Customer So here is thing about this 2nd Customer, this girl have 2 places where she wanna go is the West Side Beach or i believe it's mostly luck based because we either get these 2 locations but the West Side Beach Location is a Fantastic Route for this TAS Mostly because we get more Crazy Jumps from these big ramps off the street at Cable Car Stop Top Location while i go down in the air with my Limiter Cut trick by going fast.
  • 3rd Girl Customer By the beach Now we go to Popcorn Maina YAY! anyways this is a perfect destination so we can get close to our 4th important secret customer that helps us, not only that Going to Popcorn Maina it will help us by getting some Crazy Through Money Cash as it go crazy in the TAS, not only that i Parked so perfectly at the edge of the green line. now i can be close to the 4th that been hiding out of sight customer.
  • 4th Customer THE GRANDMAL Police Station
This is our important customer of the TAS the grandmal which her destination is super far which is a huge for this TAS because we earn TONS OF Money, TONS OF CHAIN COMBOS, when you watching this tas you can tell im getting over 200 Chain combos off a traffic and Drifting, during the end i decided to mess around when i have a little time left when the timer hit 1 to 0 then boom the run is over.

Traffic Rng Manipulation

Now lets about what i didnt discuss, so in this tas there is more to this... In this TAS you can manipulate Traffic in this game by using savestates in the emulator, its similar how other tasers manipulate rng, trying different inputs or wait a certain timing in order to get what you want, but for me i don't really have to slowdown i just keep using savestates until i get the traffic that im satisfied with, that give me a lot money, for example at the start of the run i got good traffic then, the 2nd customer i got good traffic including all of them, i got good hella traffic Rng...

CoolHandMike: Claiming for judging.
CoolHandMike: Replacing with file that ends on Timer hits 0. Previous movie file length was too long.
CoolHandMike: Accepting this to Standard with branch Arcade. Author uses a great tricks and knows how to rack up those fares really quickly. This beats the previous submission [2608] GC Crazy Taxi by solarplex in 05:53.18 by roughly a minute and 50 seconds. For future judging of Arcade note that this movie ends when Timer hits 0.
Congratulations!

this is a really cool TAS! to get the crazy licence, do you need $20k? if you aim at the fastest completion, do you really need to way for the time to run out?

Yes in order to get crazy License you need $20,000,00👍 i mean at the end i can't control the timer the end the way i want to, so that's why at the end i started to play around to make this more entertaining, then once i get done with all the movement when the timer hit 1 seconds as you can see i put my taxi car back on the ground when it 0 seconds, to make it a perfect timing to end this run. i hope i explain this well if that's what your asking hehe

when the timer hits zero, your total is $20,686.58, and then you get $3,078.54 after the time up. I was wondering if it would work if you drop the customer before the time up and have exactly a total of $20,000 (or a bit more)? Or, you need this "Time Up" in order to finish the game?

I like this Crazy Taxi submission, but noticed that the length of this movie is too long. The movie ends a bit after the timer hits 0. Could you submit a movie file that ends input at the earliest point for the finish you are looking for?

This is better, but this new movie ends exactly on the timer being 0. You could shave off some more frames from the total movie length. Like while the taxi is falling off from the wall drift trick the input could be stopped a little earlier.

Ignore that request for a further truncated movie above. Replaced movie with new one SJ posted where it ends when the timer hits 0.
