I felt like finishing my Riverside Race TAS I started about 9 years ago... Not really that interesting, I was just bored today. Link to video

A great video that explains the various Level End Glitches in SMW that I personally found to be very interesting. Link to video

I recently picked this up again, we'll see how it goes! http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/45560309525609462 Finished 2-1 being 110 frames ahead of published run.

I've known about that corner boost for quite some time. It's also used in both the warpless and 100% TASes a couple of times, not as much as it could have had however. Nice to see that another frame was saved in 1-3, as that was enough to get good HB RNG again. Evan: The 100% TAS has been published already. In fact, you even linked the publication there... I don't see the point of the "Longplay" you linked however, as it's just a basic playthrough and serves no purpose on this site.

That is GREAT! I'm surprised I never thought of that, even though I have some memory that I tried it... I don't really care much for the glitched run, I know frames can be saved in 7-1 anyway. What I'm happy about is that this will finally make it possible to bypass the 14 frames needed to get the next good Boomerang Bro pattern in 8-Tank. This means that the Any% No Wrong Warp / "Warps" run will be 14 frames ahead after 8-Tank. Another three frames will be needed up to the Bowser fight. I do believe I found improvements to 8-1 and/or 8-2, so it will come down to how long it takes to manipulate the hands... I got work to do! Thanks, RAT926!

Just want to chip in that I'm very excited about this run, but I have skipped watching WIPs recently, I want the full unspoiled (mostly) experience once it is finished! Keep up the greatness,, Gym!

Hello! I did an optimised version of this route awhile ago, and it's actually a bit slower in the end. I don't even think I have this movie saved somewhere either, I could have a look. I would love to see the run improved, I have yet not find a way however, but hopefully someone else will! Good luck with further attempts =).

The fastest version is the standard US version, PRG0 or PRG1. The JP version has longer loading times for each level, making it a lot slower. And PAL runs at a lower framerate and is generally bad. There is some general information about the game found here: http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/NES/SuperMarioBros3.html Though some of the things are not up to date and a lot of info is lacking. In general, there isn't really a lot of explanations on how to TAS it optimally... I've been TASing the game for many years now, and still does on a daily basis. I guess I could produce some kind of TASing guide for the game, if I'm not lazy enough... I could however assist in various questions and such. A good place to start is to watch the current TASes of the game and try to replicate what you see to get a feel of it.

I watched the live stream and despite not knowing much of the game, it looked great and was entertaining to watch! YE.

In the Japanese version, you can't get the Heart Piece on the first try.

Not sure if this type of thing counts too for you list: With the SNES9X core you are able to disable the Transparency effects. This is very useful to have when TASing dark rooms, as you'll be able to easily see anyway. However, this option does not exist with the BSNES core. If that could be added somehoe, it would be nice.
