I have more justification to continue this than I ever expected to get:

I encourage you to continue your run, because it will be a full run. You seem to forget that the other 3 cups are of any importance. Even if you think the tricks in those cups aren't as cool, they should still be included on this site.

Shock value comes from being able to see every level done this way. Most people (like myself) haven't.

I think it's still worth doing the 100% run. There are still plenty surprises left.

If you're looking for a reason to continue, there it is.

Anyway really hope you find motivation man. I like your runs and your person is a good addition on these forums and community in general.

Comicalflop, to be blunt, if you don't finish your run, you're a damned fool.

But people will still love your run, no doubt. People would find it awesome to see the SMB run be improved. So why not show us an improvement of this cup along with the other three? Don't give up on us. I'm counting on you anyway!

This game needs a "Full Amazing Run" where you continually zoom around the entire course at relatively fast speeds, demonstrate crazy physics and glitches the entire way, and still end up in first place :P

Seeing just one cup makes me want to see the whole game so much more than I did before. Taken as a whole, with a mix of shocking - but repetitive - 30 second races, and high speed, eye popping complete races, a 100% run of this game will kick more ass than a Nike warehouse... filled with magical shoes... that are kicking a bunch of people who are visiting the warehouse in the ass.

Anyway I still can't wait to see the run of comicalflop, and to see how faster it will be.
Progress has been slow, but MMF lap 1 is officially done. Which means, the experimenting/route for the rest of the course is done, which means (in theory, not in practice) that the next two laps should go by faster.
I'm at a very iffy time in college right now; I missed a lot of classes and have to work my ass off to get a decent GPA for next year. I'm late for room selection for housing and class selection next year, and finals are coming up.
But by May 18th, my vacation starts, with no summer camp to work at until late June. And then, post camp hours I won't have to babysit for my sister, which is more hours. Add to that I'll be driving on my own so that I can leave camp on time, get home and maximize all my free time to TAS, and then when I start college next year I'll be much better at organizing my time and be way more productive in TASing/schoolwork, and things are looking pretty good for the future.
The last few months have not been kind to me... I've been lazy, frustrated, and low on energy, and school is about to end, which adds to stress; all of these are bad TASing environments. But once the creative energy is given room to stretch out its legs, watch out!
I've been trying to reproduce the mushroom-cancel glitch on the cars in Toad's Turnpike and have not been able to do so. Does it not work on them, or am I using the mushroom at the wrong time?
Trying 127.0.0.1...

It might be because you are always hitting the car for multiple frames. Try to clip a corner and see if you can cancel that with a mushroom. I haven't tested it, it might be handled differently.
Being attached to a huge sign post, everything the "slow" sign would have to do is fall to the ground in the right direction. And it will reach the goal first! I'm also betting on it.
Though if there are multiple laps, I'm betting on the turtle. >_>
The turtle is made of plastic... The snail may be going slow, but when he's done it'll be über-fast.
I'd like to point out that in German, "Schnell" means fast. Umm... okay then, moving on...

I'm not trying to be rude, but has there been any progress made on this run?
always, always feel free to ask me this question on absolutely anything I'm working on.
Tme for another update. 'Nuff said.
Laptop still not back in my hands where it belongs. Am trying to remedy that.
Summer Camp has started, so 10ish hours of my day are now being used constructively. (counter-constructive to movie making. But you gotta know your priorities.)
MMF has not moved a single subpixel.
Biggest update: For those that haven't heard yet, a new mupen may be made that can solve desynching and possibly add record reset functions, which would thereby let me skip 3 trophy receiving cinematics (like the SMK movie.) I would very much like for the run to be made on a mupen with record reset, since that can help me save 3 minutes. The problem? Compatibility; it'd use a new movie file format, and a converter might not work, meaning all progress I have so far would need to be redone.
So 'dat's the scoop. This is reporter Comicalflop with the evening TAS news, you stay classy, planet Earth.
Over the next 6 months how do you plan to invest your time among the TASes you're working on?

We are just waiting for this amazing tas :P I think that you should drop all of your tas and concentrate on this one :P
Anyway, good luck in managing your time, I'm waiting for OOT and MK64 :P

It'll take as long as it takes, which will likely be a very long while. Also, MMF will be the last public WIP; how you handle that wait is up to you.
As I said above, I'm waiting to see if some form of mupen can be made/posted that has record reset, which may also delay the run further.
I'll manage. It is currently summertime after all. But it's far easier without people harrying me with questions like that one.
Sorry, I read this:
always, always feel free to ask me this question on absolutely anything I'm working on.
If you think I was harassing you please don't post stuff like that, it's confusing.
So I figured I'd ask a similar but better question which would give us a good idea of what to expect and prevent us from having to ask more questions in the future.

Ah ok. The phrase "how do you plan to invest your time" seemed like a stab at how I manage projects.
So let's see....
MMF should most certainly be done by the end of the summer if not sooner.... and the whole run will be done probably late next year most likely, possibly early 2009. It is so hard to tell, especially since I also have to get this GBA run done, as well as OoT, Sonic 3D Blast, improve my DKC2 102%, get the full Maxim run done (unlikely though), and find time to complete the StarFox 64 High Score run as well (way far in the future though). I'm not working on all 6 at the same time btw, only one or two of the above currently.
Edit: record reset worked with a beta version of mupen, so things look good for having that feature in the movie.
Yeah.... it's taking a while. Truly sorry. Haven't made any progress in a while, but that should change.
