I finally finished the warpless TAS. I dubbed the category "All Worlds", since that is more accurate, but alas, here it is. Link to video Any commentary is appreciated!

Here is another WIP for the Warpless category. Many of the level approaches are very similar to those shown by Tompa, as they are very efficient. This route uses the hammer duplication trick heavily to save time. Any comments are appreciated. I need to redo part of this TAS for the coins, but otherwise I am happy with this TAS.

So the higher walljump saves 5 frames, but I couldn't get a faster 8-2 by not running off the platform. I'm assuming it's just because of suboptimal inputs but I could very well be wrong. How exactly do I pull off a small bowser jump? I get that he needs to be doing a short jump, but otherwise what specifics do I need to know?

Thanks Tompa I'm not sure about small hop from bowser, I've never actually done it in the original SMB3. The other tips make sense, but I'm not likely to revisit this category, favoring my Warpless TAS instead. I might if I get bored this weekend though, seeing as the improvements are very small and easy to do.

I decided to revisit the Any% category after watching Tompa's WIPs, and managed to save 6 frames over a run by Asumeh. Overall I beat my previous time by 15 seconds. Here it is: Link to video

Your TAS WIP is amazing and showed me a lot of really cool new tricks, including getting into the upper section of a pipe! Thanks so much. Also sidenote: was the end of your one WIP just you trying to figure out how to break the lock :^)?

I managed to get a working version of the hack by using your link, and (at least one) of your WIPs works on that version. Thanks for your help.

What exactly do you mean by checking the input file for comparison? How can I get the same ROM or environment as you? I saw that you are using FCEUX 2.2.20, but I doubt that would be the issue...

Maybe you could encode it for me or something... I'm not sure. Our ROM checksums don't match but I'm not sure that's important, seeing as I've run plenty of other non-matching ROM movies just fine. Furthermore, I believe that I am using a PRG0 version, not that I know enough about the difference to know if it would impact anything.

Hey Tompa, Thanks for the tips. I got a couple nice improvements from your WIPs. However, your files seem to desync on my emulator shortly into 2-2. I'm not sure what to do about this, nor how to fix it. UPDATE: I re-installed the ROM and it fixed nothing... I'm not sure how to fix this best.

Hello Asumeh, I recently finished an Any% TAS for the ROM hack and published it on YouTube. You can view it on Mitch's discord, and I encourage you to contact me there. For those interested, the relevant video can be found here: Link to video
