It seems like a Japanese guy already made a TAS test. (note: the reason I linked it is because the author disabled embedding, affecting Nicozon) Perhaps, when 3DS emulation actually becomes viable (note the graphical glitches in the emulator footage (English version), the footage from a 3DS capture device is first shown), this would be a suitable game choice?

DS TAS of 2012
So was this done using Citra or something? Asutoro is a user here, so maybe he’ll reply. In the description I think he says he used an emulator with slow motion, finished the level, then ported the save from the emu to a real 3DS and used the in-game replay feature to play back the “TAS”. I suppose he used Citra but I’m not really sure whether I understood it correctly or not.

Arcade TASer of 2016
Note that the TAS is very unoptimised (it is one second behind the human world record) but it does show a nice proof of concept. I would assume the method used was play using slowdown, save the replay to the ROM, then replay on real hardware. This way, it fully syncs (this works the same way in the DS version.)
