I don't think I've ever seen a TAS stay so consistently at maximum hype over such a long period. It's just non-stop jaw drops. Vote: TAS of the Forever

Sorry, Twelvepack, but I think you're 100% wrong because by your logic then this run: (http://tasvideos.org/1205M.html) among others, would have to include the other save file time...
You should read the thread before calling people "100% wrong". As was previously explained, this works differently than unlocks in other games (or even the same game).

This isn't a traditional unlock like others in the game, that second file is required to pull some data from. Normally the "Game Pak Bonuses" data holds all the unlocks (except TT who needs "Times" data as well). Characters, Modes, and Tracks do not require Adventure data to stay unlocked. Thus, the need for an existing Adventure file means existing save/state data is being pulled from it and this glitch is not just using an "unlocked feature".

Swordless does raise a good point, because it's definitely a huge waste of time if other people can verify that it is indeed a valid savestate. I don't see any good reason why it shouldn't be considered for acceptance...
If you can't spare the relatively tiny amount of time for a verification movie it seems odd you'd have time to make a good TAS to begin with...especially for a game this short.

Take notes DKR runners: 5+ Hour Prep File, still timed. Man up.

For this game, the verification movie rule is pointless because the save file is used only to "unlock a feature".

Voted No for: 1) More of a glitch demonstration than a speedrun, since this would/should never be permitted in an any%/100% (unless timing from first new file). 2) No verification movie. While I know swordless isn't a cheater (just lazy), arbitrary rules exceptions based on the judges feelings towards a TASer is a terrible precedent to set and can only lead to drama later. 3) Similarly, it creates a slippery slope of a precedent for what's acceptable in runs. See: Starfy, Skyward Sword BiT (sub-10 any%? lol) I'll reiterate my personal belief that there should be a place on TASVideos for showing off interesting glitches that aren't demonstrated in proper speedruns, and this would be perfect for such a category.

This is a serious submission. It shows how you can glitch "File 2", which is a new game, into loading "File 1", which has already been beaten, to complete the game.

Yes, it's entertaining, it uses some interesting glitches, and beats the final boss in the game.
I think it's interesting only insofar as a glitch demonstration, since no legitimate speedrun should use this (unless timing from first file or as a distinct non-any% glitched category). NG+ label is also confusing since the game normally DOES have legitimate unlocks (which only require tasks be completed once on the cart, not an existing save file to pull state data from). In terms of entertainment, personally I'd find something like a RBO (Reverse-Boss-Order) TAS much more interesting for showing this off while also avoiding any category confusion.

We're just frustrated because the people who know more about this game are conflicted with people who don't...
There's a larger rules issue here, your game knowledge/skill are all but irrelevant.

This is not a speedrun, it's merely a glitch demonstration. This will never be legitimate unless you start time from the beginning of the first file's creation.
