But the question is if there’s a way to access bosses that weren’t intended to play, would it be required or is it optional?

I mean, it's right there in the submission text. If even the senior judge doesn't read properly, then I'm probably caring about this too much. But not anymore! Who cares!
Masterjun's mean is we shot the tanks in stage2 and stage4.
However, Mario Kart Wii and Celeste are unable to be represented on TASVideos as a result of current site policy and thus are not TASVideos content in any way. Posting those segments on YouTube under the TASVideos channel would be unwise unless we can say with a straight face that the content actually came from TASVideos, including future events until such time that we can fully represent event content.
The run hurts enemies without killing them, which is generally not what a pacifist would do.
I remember the actual rerecord count is around 9,000.
This makes no sense to me. I have never seen (although I may well have missed it) a rule that states that a TAS needs to be somehow "better" than the unassisted equivalent. (The only rule I remember is that the TAS needs to beat existing records, meaning that if the TAS is slower than the unassisted run, it will be rejected for being suboptimal.) I thought that the principle has been in place for years that every officially published game (with the exception of games of certain genres, like certain types of educational games) for the currently supported consoles, can have an any% TAS published in Vault, with pretty much no requirements (other than it being as optimal as possible). I have never heard of a Vault rule that the TAS must not be replicable in real-time.
From Wiki: MovieRules.html#MovieMustBeComplete Where applicable, the movie must reach an ending screen that positively signifies a game is finished successfully. Reaching a game-over screen is not considered beating the game. If a game shows the same ending screen regardless of success or failure, reaching it is not considered successful completion. Also note that this rule isn't complete.
Runs that incorporate "game end glitch" techniques need certain verification on whether the ending really occurs. It can be done by comparing how the game acts after it ended normally, with how it acts after it was glitch-ended. Missing some critical ending routines would mean it was not really completed.
I'll render the final output in 4K in order to remove the 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. 8K would probably be overkill, unless someone else does it for me (prepare to spend 200GB on temp files!)
