I heard rumor that he has quit this run since he's restarted it so many times already.
Can't someone just ask him over email or PM or something?
Well he doesn't speak English, for one thing. And to respond to Panga's rumour: yes, he's since quit.
A new one by another person/group has been started, though.

I understand now why the old runs were obsoleted, however, if that run was published then shouldn't this one as well? I mean, they almost do the same thing. (not exactly the same, but to me very similar)
This run has already been accepted.

If the process were real (i.e. glitch the menus to get a file with 120 stars), it could be used to beat the current 0 star TAS. Assuming all keys were also opened (a reasonable assumption given that this is a hypothetical situation anyway), the player could simply run up to the final Bowser fight and beat him to see the credits.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. What's your point?
He's saying this if that video were real, and you could corrupt the save file to give you 120 stars, would it obsolete the current SM64 TAS. He's comparing it to how Masterjun skipped over so much of the game.

a cheap way to summon a screen that’s supposed to make you think you beat the game
The game mode is set to that of when the "THE END" screen comes up in the original credits sequence. It is the actual end.
I don’t even know what that means, which is why I abstained from voting
To put it simply, it means that it's the same as going through the credits, but you just skip the staff and enemy roll.

I’ll ask a question: if the game were normally saved once beaten, would this run have a “game completed” save file? if so I guess I could vote yes or at least meh
It would. However, the game does not save when you beat Bowser even in the 11-exit run, so there's no real way to judge it like that.

I can't hack a game, but one can add Mario's position to the heads up display, so that the tester would see if he is in correct place.
If you can see the position, the correct position that means you can no longer do the glitch already. That means you have to precalculate the speed and know how fast you are going then hope you are fast enough to spit on the exact frame required. It is possible, just extraordinarily hard.
To translate: the SNES has input delay. If you were to see the position on-screen and spit it out on that frame, it would actually be spit a couple frames later. You'd have to spit it a few frames earlier to time it right, but that's really hard because that also involves knowing how fast you are moving, which isn't the easiest thing to manipulate in real time.

It's pixel and frame perfect, not to mention direction perfect. I don't think that would be of use, since the timing is "do it on this frame at this position, or the game crashes".

I herd u liek glitches. That's all I can say. Amazing. However I don't know what should I vote because I miss the entire credits.
I'm also interested in the save file (does it shows you can play the last level or just stays at YI3 which means you only triggered the "The End" picture without doing anything which stands against one of my earlier stated "possible game end states" definition).
The RAM address that handles what phase of the credits that the game is showing is correct, so that's what we go off of. The game doesn't save when you end the game anyway, so a save game file won't prove anything since the game never saved.

voting no is quite frankly disrepectful to kaizoman666, bahamete, mister, and pangaeapanga for all the hard work they put into redoing a tas that most of them just submitted a few months ago. they started and completed this TAS with the goal of obsoleting the current any%, which they will have done once the new improvement mister found is put in, while the same cannot be said for masterjun, who made his TAS with the hopes of showing off a completely new and gamebreaking glitch and making a new category. great job to all 4 of you as this was a top notch TAS
Both TASes were exceptionally made and both should be accepted to the site, in my honest opinion.

I just do not see the point for 2 glitched any% runs categories.
So using any glitch at all constitutes a "glitched" category?

By the way, why backtrack all the way to YI1 after beating YI3? Wouldn't it be faster to start with YI1 right away to avoid more walking on the overworld map?
Because you need Yoshi, of which there are none in YI1.

Sacrificing those frames would only cause the viewer to witness the same old Super Mario World ending everybody has seen countless times already.
It wouldn't be. The "Thank You" scene is where it jumps to, and it takes place in the bonus room for whatever reason.
I like the way it ends currently, personally.

Nifty. I look forward to watching the encode.
I'm surprised it's not worthwhile to go back to YI1 and get another goal sphere to use in Bowser's Castle, though.
It would be, but using a goal sphere in Bowser's Castle doesn't count as beating the game, since the credits don't roll.
