TEH URN! Here's my New Super Mario Bros. Wii TAS I started 4 months ago (July) This beats Soig old TAS by unknown time, because he used an old dolphin revision where loading times weren't accurate, so his movie is faster, but in most of levels, IG time are faster, so this run is the most up-to-date one!

Games Objectives

  • Emulator Used : Dolphin 4.0-3260
  • Genre: Platform
  • Dual Core : OFF
  • Idle Skipping: OFF
  • Free DSP Dolphin ROMS
Game name is: NEW Super Mario Brothers Wii ISO [NTSC].iso

(now, in new dolphin you can use any Wii ISO, in old, you was needing the exact ISO to play it back, I thanks Soig choosing an iso which was only on a site, which was the only one to sync on old dolphin

Tricks

Faster Propeller

If you shake the wiimote without pressing the running button, you'll use the propeller a bit faster

Moving while ground pound

If you ground pround then press move button, you'll move very very very slightly. Only used in 1-1

Stage per Stage Comment

1-1 : Thanks to Tehseven using a strat which saves a lot of time!
1-2 : Compared myself to the Niconico video Rachel Posted, this level was kinda hard to optimise, mostly on slopes!
1-3 : Using propeller to take the warp to 5-1
5-1 : Nothing to say
5-RNG : yeah, equaled Soig, RNG is not avoidable here :p
5-3 : Taking 5-3 instad of 5-2 because 5-3 is shorter than 5-2. New strat where I ground pound to skip using propeller once, which saves a bit of time
5-Castle : Propeller to get easily on top of level and shortly
5-4 : Skipping autoscroll
5-Boo: I saved a few frames, but nothing else to say. Taking a warp.
8-1 : Slides, slides,slides,slides,slides etc
8-7 : Kinda autoscroll, so I tried to do my best on entairtaining!
8-Doomship: Using the wiimote shaking to open the doors, everything is frame perfect, tried entairtainement on boss lel.
8-Castle : The fucking worst level for me. I'm kinda not proud for this, I lost time between soig, because I tried for several hours, and couldn't manage to get it, I guess it's a dolphin problem, normally Bowser shoots fireball way more faster. !

Informations & Thanks

Desyncs : I'd say about 15 (yes thanks) Thanks to: Soig for his first TAS and some of his good ideas Dolphin to his desyncs Everyone in the topic who contributed (CoolKirby for sync test, and anyone for feedback!) My brain My heart for the desyncs abahbob for his RAM watch tutorial Fog for building my avsyncs

Nach: Judging.

Nach: Replacing movie with a faster one from author: <Got4n> i'm stupid

Nach: This run is a bit slower than its predecessor, but much of that can be chalked up to emulator differences. According to Spikestuff's calculations, this run saves time where it actually counts. Overall, this run looks to have more consistent play than its predecessor, and the audience seems to be a lot more satisfied with it.
This run features a lot more segments which appear to be done very well, and was noticeably improved in quite a few levels. While the amount of noticeable issues (at least to me) are not non-existent, they are fewer in number, and apparently less noticeable than last time going by the audience's comments.
I hope these things will be improved in a future run. The key idea for improvement is to realize the following rule: Sometimes doing something slower or with less force saves time in the end. This can manifest itself in a number of ways:
  • Jumping lower or shorter while doesn't get you as far does allow you to jump again sooner, or perhaps bounce off of enemies.
  • Lowering speed which progresses slower initially can avoid crashing into walls, thus allowing for faster movement later.
  • Instead of looking at the most obvious way to reach some location, track back from that location, mapping backwards the fastest move to reach that point ahead, and see how to adjust the current play for what comes later - even though it looks suboptimal at this point in isolation.
Personally I think even a first run should be a bit more polished, but I'll go with the audience that it's polished enough. Weakly accepting for first run of this game.
fsvgm777: Processing. Note: It's going to take a fair bit of time.
fsvgm777: Dropping, as I keep running into graphical issues. Note to whoever's willing to encode it: You need to edit the DTM to enable EFB copies to RAM (open it in the DTM Editor and set EFB Texture to "RAM") in order for most objects to animate (like ? blocks or floating coins). I can at least confirm that it syncs fine with this setting set in the DTM on 4.0-3601 (you normally won't need the a/v sync hack for this one, since "proper" a/v sync was introduced in 4.0-3595).
RGamma: Publishing...
Fog: Third time's the charm! Processing...

I've been closely following the WIPs and I must say the end product is great. I know how hard this game is to fully optimise and all of the strats here look much cleaner than in Soig's run. Just one thing - is there any input necessary after hitting the final switch? If not, it should be possible to do a spin at the end like Soig did, and therefore end input earlier. Otherwise, very entertaining run - yes vote.

I still find it sad that Wii games are better emulated than N64 games.
Taking over the world, one game at a time. Currently TASing: Nothing

This TAS should have been made from 4.0.2. a/v sync hack can also be used. The latest version does not have influence in Wii Mario's compatibility. As for Wii Mario, it is right to use "RAM" as a graphic option. The schedule which carries out voice edit of what was dumped by this setup, and it uploads to youtube or Nico Video.
Operation related to TAS of N64/GC/Wii/PS2 emulator is often investigated.

Oh shit, it's the new super Mario bro's Wii finally in the TAS submission. I'm sure it's going to be great, will vote when I finish watching it! Edit: The 5 second audio desync does get a bit annoying but the run looks great. Having played it and finished it like 99% myself I'll give this a big YES! I'm only missing like 2 coins if i memory serve me well once more and they're from the bonus stages.

For “5-RNG” (at 6:52 in the YT video), is doing it from left to right faster than doing it from right to left? Looked nice, though I don’t know anything about speedrunning this game.

Audio fix and the graphics animation fix. However, it was not able to correct completely. Link to video

On it. I'll be editing this post when done. Edit 1: In-Game Time
LEVEL | SOIG | GOT4N | DIF
 1-1  | 454  |  455  |  1
 1-2  | 455  |  456  |  1
 1-3  | 450  |  450  |  0
 5-1  | 446  |  447  |  1
MINIG |  93  |   93  |  0
 5-3  | 443  |  444  |  1
 5-C  | 530  |  530  |  0
 5-4  | 353  |  354  |  1
 5-H  | 571  |  571  |  0
 8-1  | 431  |  431  |  0
 8-2  | 419  |  421  |  2
 8-7  | 341  |  342  |  1
 8-S  | 367  |  369  |  2
 8-B  | 584  |  584  |  0
 END  | 513  |  511  | -2
TOTAL | 5866 |  5874 |  8

Note: Higher is better
KEY: B = Bowser, C = Castle, H = Haunted House, MINIG = Mini Game, S = Ship END refers to no input that's why there are 2 times for the final level. Total time reads all except for 8-B since that and END are the same level. Edit 2: Very rough but good enough to compare. Stage Frame Saved:
LEVEL | AHEAD
 1-1  |  44
 1-2  |  38
 1-3  |  00
 5-1  |  26
MINIG |  -1
 5-3  |  34
 5-C  |  14
 5-4  |  -5
 5-H  |  06
 8-1  |  17
 8-2  |  62
 8-7  |  50
 8-S  |  97
 8-B  |  14
 END  |-109
TOTAL | 287 (396 if ignoring final input)

Note: Using SOIG's loading times.
Note2: Positive values are better.

Looks good to me. I would like to know the RAM addresses though. Yes vote by the way, I found it entertaining even though it doesn't seem maxed.
