You can find results scattered across YouTube and Twitch from local community sources, but for the most part everything exists purely on Discord. That being said, you don’t need to join a new Discord server for each new task — there is a central MGTC discord server containing information, resources, and results, which you can join here. I’ll make sure to include that in every post, not just the task posts!

First of all, apologies to anyone who was relying on this forum topic to be notified of new tasks last year. I totally forgot I was planning on doing this. That being said, I will aim to not fail this year!
Presenting the second ANNUAL Multi-Game TAS Competition - back for 2024!! Once again, several TAS communities have joined forces to host select tasks throughout the year, where you get a chance to learn how to TAS different games across several different consoles, emulators, and genres. If you're reading this, then you're on TASVideos already, and are likely a perfect fit as a competitor, so go and join the Multi-Game TAS Competition discord to get started:

Introducing the Multi-Game TAS Competition! 9 TAS communities have joined forces to host select tasks throughout the year, where you will get a chance to learn how to TAS different games across several different consoles, emulators, and genres. Any and all TASers are welcome, especially people here! The aim of this is to learn new games and see how well you can do in all of them combined, and that suits very well to people in the TASVideos community! I really hope some of you here join in - the first task has been running for about 2 weeks and there are 7 days left until it finishes, so there's still plenty of time to pick up a new game and have an attempt! Join the following server for more information on the competition and how to get started: https://discord.gg/PbY433kFQN
Games featuring in this are:
Mario Kart Wii
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Bros. 1/2J
Trackmania
Battle for Bikini Bottom
Red Ball
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario 64 DS
Minecraft
This will be running all year, and I will make a post here once at the beginning of each task and once to share videos of results. (I meant to post something here on New Years Day but didn't know where/how to)

Worth noting that the previous record is not that 10:19, but actually my 10:17.58 from 2019.
Also, multiple userfiles have been posted since then as well regarding a work-in-progress TAS: 10:15.50, 10:13.75, 10:13.65, 10:04.23, 10:03.19
(I also mentioned the need for some help, so I'm a little sad I wasn't contacted)
Lastly, there should be a few timesaves from the WIP that could be applied to this publication, so maybe expect a follow-up submission in some months?

I have a few pretty basic comments about this submission:
- This hack doesn’t really offer any entertainment comparable to any SMB publication on the site, nor most rejected publications either
- This movie is full of constant suboptimal movement and major visible improvements, as it seems you opted for just RTA movement (You could have used fast accelerations and flagpole glitch, and maybe even wall clips to skip killing enemies and the pipe entry cutscenes?)
- By the looks of your submission comments, it doesn’t look like you understand the formality of this site, and what it means to submit a TAS for publication

The gecko code I used was an "ultimate license unlocker" which essentially automatically completes the game 100% for you. I just made up an ACE-like scenario and mocked the fact that Dolphin syncs are so difficult to keep under control that it required that specific gecko code to make the movie sync.
