Just FYI the "Walljump Room" was discovered by John Walljump

>framerules mentioned
>piano version of SM64 File Select music starts playing
Bismuth doesn't disappoint

He said "Framerule" without saying "Bus". How dare he.

BitPlumber

so glad framerules were explained again, i was starting to forget

I’ve known about the flagpole glitch for years, but I never understood WHY the flagpole wouldn’t go down… until this video. Thanks for the clear explanation!

I'm always so appreciative when someone explains TASing as anything other than "it's a theoretically perfect speedrun" and I'm extra appreciative here! Thank greatly

It's actually crazy how many people think that TAS is a robot or some kind of AI.
TAS is the work of human beings. Work that is just as, if not more important than that of the RTA speedrunners that learn from them. While the contributions that TASers have made to RTA speedrunning are immensely important, TASing is also valuable in its own right. After all, it's the purest form of answering speedrunning's most central question: "How fast can a game be beaten?"
Thank you so much for highlighting this often overlooked side of speedrunning!

every time bismuth mentions frame rules i get hit by a bus . but only on certain intervals. if he misses it i have to wait to get hit by the next bus. this is known as a frameru💥🚌AUGH

"21 seconds faster than the current world record held by Niftski. 20 seconds faster than what was thought to be a perfect run in 2004."

I like how Niftski is within 1 second of a previously thought to be perfect TAS.

bismuth explains framerules differently in every super mario bros video he makes but always makes sure never to mention the certain four wheeled method of transportation commonly associated with framerule explanations

iamseamonkey

Great video. Finally, a video about the amazing history of SMB warpless TAS.
I forgot the 1-3, 3-3, and 5-3 ground clip when I looked at your script. They didn't save actual time, but they're for entertainment, so still are mentionable improvements.

It's funny that we think of TAS speedruns as something as kind of a given, just a computer giving us the best possible run to compare against, but the truth is that it really still is a achievement of human discipline, creativity, and skill in tandem with technology. Great video Bismuth!

I might be wrong but I don't think I found the Left+Right vine warp glitch itself. I am pretty sure this was already known, but I just discovered that it could be faster to wrap around the screen with Mario at the right edge than doing a FPG. Thanks for the video!

If a Speedrunner is like someone playing a song.
Then a TAS is MIDI playing that song.
The fact that speedrunners are close to matching the TAS (well, the no L+R TAS) is insane.
I grew up with the SM64 A Button Challenge back in 2012, but I must say the SMB TAS still blows me away.
