[OLD! THIS SUCKS! READ DESCRIPTION!] Super Mario 64 death% TAS (23 seconds from first input)

Here is an improved version I managed to make that is way better: • death% TAS, 16 seconds...
old description:
This is absolutely not optimized in the slightest. I just saw someone making an RTA run of this, and wanted to try and make a TAS out of it, since I was simply curious if I could do it faster with an alternative method.
I wasn't able to grab the ledge to get out of bounds when first grabbing the castle. To be honest it took around probably 20 minutes to just successfully get onto the castle. Not to optimize it, but just to GET to the top of the castle, so when the jump that was able to grab the ledge wasn't angled correctly to grab the specific part of the ledge that leads to out of bounds, I just didn't care, since getting to this point was a huge pain already.
Also, the movement to the castle itself is very poor. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a somewhat experienced RTA player beat this.
Here is the original video that inspired me to make this TAS: • mario die speedrun not...

[@XxTheGreat]

I love how he loses his hat when he dies

[@baksoBoy]

Yeah, that happens when mario dies from being out of bounds. By the way if you are interested then check out this faster TAS I managed to make, which also looks way more interesting in my opinion: ua-cam.com/video/l5tkZiIOA_s/v-deo.html

[@baksoBoy]

@@TiagoMYSF Now it's even more confusing.

[@nintendians]

i still find it random, dying from that spot.

[@baksoBoy]

What do you mean "still"?

[@nintendians]

@@baksoBoy i did this once on a emulator back then and find it odd that it kills mario.

[@baksoBoy]

@@nintendians Aah I see. Yeah, the reason that happens is because the game is coded so that if mario is ever in a position that is concidrered out of bounds, then he dies. Normally you can't go into an area that is out of bounds, as if you are trying to walk into it, it pretty much acts like a wall. However some actions, like climbing up an edge, doesn't check foe if it is moving out of bounds like walking does. Thus when mario climbs up that edge, he ends up moving out od bounds, which then makes him die.

[@nintendians]

@@baksoBoy yeah.

[@nintendians]

@@dnurbexsky-rd3bo okay.

[@mijiRBLX]

im thinking that u can blj on the sand thing

[@Peyatoe]

Is there no way to make him grab the edge at that spot the first time?

[@baksoBoy]

It probably is, but I was unable to pull it off

[@Bralixespanol]

For some reason in the excoop that trick doesn't kill you if it doesn't teleport you to the creator of the room

[@baksoBoy]

... what?

[@mijiRBLX]

and save some time

[@baksoBoy]

Yeah, I thought a bit about that too. I don't know if I'm good enough to be able to navigate to the slope where I get on top of the castle with that much backwards speed to be honest though.
Also just so that you are aware, you are able to edit your comments, so you don't have to make multiple when wanting to add something

[@mijiRBLX]

also maybe its possible do to a sblj on the cannon thing but it wont save too many time@@baksoBoy

[@baksoBoy]

@@mijiRBLX I tried doing a BLJ in the sand and it was faster. Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/l5tkZiIOA_s/v-deo.html
I'm not going to try to do an SBLJ, as I am not good enough to do that

[@joelandrewgibson4820]

Have you checked against just drowning? What's the time difference there? 23 seconds seems like a long time...

[@baksoBoy]

Drowning takes around a whole minute, assuming that you get to the water instantly

[@baksoBoy]

Alright I tried it out. It takes more than one whole minute when drowning

[@Averythepenguin2016]

LOL

[@giraffelove12]

cool now do without tas

[@baksoBoy]

You say that like it is impossible to do RTA, but I literally didn't use any hard tricks that can't be done by humans...

[@giraffelove12]

@@baksoBoy then why did you use tas in the first place

[@baksoBoy]

@@giraffelove12 Because I just don't like doing RTA.
