2 Years ago, I always thought"TAS" was a Tool Assisted Speedrun and I criticise this video for it, but now 2 Years afters today, I realise "TAS" can be a different meaning. "Tool Assisted Superplay", and for someone to get triple stars on every mission in one try is quite impressive. It might not always be about going fast but this is a good Tool Assisted play right here.
It's impressive but not really. If it's TAS'd then everything is either planned out already or slowed down to essentially double the amount of inputs. There's also no RNG so this can easily be done non-TAS'd.
I think the entire point of this TAS is to show that 3-star runs are possible without ever drifting, and most of the people complaining just didn't get it.
Ah, Mission Mode. One of the reasons I loved Mario Kart DS. I know these racing games are meant to be enjoyed multiplayer, but I really wish another Mario Kart did something like this again.
How did I only just now realize that the Chain Chomp race mission uses the Chain Chomp music from Double Dash?? I swear I had no idea it was even in the games files until now!
Actually, Mario Kart DS took some points from Double Dash such as the tracks, character portraits etc, and the game was once planned to use the Bowser Shell and Chain Chomp but they got removed in the final game.
@@AGZhark yeah, I was referring to Luigi's Mansion. It doesn't appear to happen anywhere else. I believe the crash is coupled to an issue with Luigi's Mansion specifically because the crash doesn't occur in the kiosk demo which was based off of the E3 2005 build of MKDS. This crash only happens in the final build; after a litany of small changes were made to the gameplay and tracks in the game.
Frick zodiac signs, how do you start a turbo boost at the start of a race? A: Hold down A, release and hold down a few times B: Wait until the timer goes down to 2
6-8 may be impossible to beat without the rocket start. 7-6 is insane as you have to drift perfectly as a D rank, an A rank and a 3 Star rank are close together timewise.
people saying this is a bad tas are kinda dumb because its not one of those tases where you try to get the fasest time, if it was it wouldve been obvious, but its implied that you can get 3 stars without drifting (for certain levels)
Man it's so sad how they took away mission modes in other games of Mario Kart to come... I REALLY think they could pull off a fun "Story mode" for a Mario kart game with a big overworld to drive around in like Diddy Kong Racing.
I was expecting snaking and shit, oh well, maybe it would have been too much effort and pointless to do if you still get three star ranking on everything without it. Still fun to watch.
Huh. This being a TAS, I sorta expected it to be... crazier? Given the lack of a description I'm kinda confused as to what the purpose of this is, since it looks like it hasn't been fully optimized. Not that I would know though, since I don't TAS Mario Kart DS myself.
So guys: 1. A TAS is not always a speedrun. 2. This run is not impressive, however try to get all 3 stars first try in a row, not so easy now huh? Maybe this is the only helpful run I have seen, it's not using TAS-only strategies, but shows us how to easily get 3 stars.
@@max_harwell I honestly didn't realise that because I always assumed "TAS" was an Tool Assisted Speedrun. Now I understand this isn't a speedrun at all and more of a "Superplay". Cheers!
Seriously though.... It's a kart racer. There isn't a ton of movement tech or exploits to abuse. Just perfect execution. Stop complaining and enjoy your nostalgia trip.
Omg! Another Anthony Jones TAS! I love watching this guy’s TAS videos! I watched his entire Mario and Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story TAS, I think he did a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon one too, he makes the best! Mario Tennis Power too was another!
i'm less concerned with the speed of this TAS than everyone else here, the only thing keeping me from watching the entire thing was that it was incredibly mundane.
in real time this is one second faster than my Personal Best time of 43:44 (selecting first mission to crossing the line on wiggler). and this is with frame perfect menuing. kind of a joke lol.
Maybe people should've realized this was a TAS that showed that its possible to get a time this big without snaking AT ALL. It's easily see-able. The other thing is that it tried to pull drifting the most few times as it could. This is also easily see-able. I don't understand why people aren't getting this at all really.
In each of those missions where I'd have to beat my opponent, I always enjoyed waiting at the finish line, then accelerating when I thought I needed to
I don't see you claiming anywhere that these are the fastest times possible and they for sure aren't. But some things are incredibly precise, so I wonder what the goal of this run actually is
If: tas then: hyper optimized and as fast as possible. No one wants to see what a human can easily do. The point of making a tas is to execute humanely impossible button combinations and moves that grant several advantages for the computer playing back your inputs. This is obbiously trying to get the tas reputation by not rerecording 500000 times to achieve his goal.
TAS can also mean Tool-Assisted Superplay. A lot of the SM64 freeruns from back in the day still had the TAS label on them, but by no means were they speedruns
This needs snaking, it's not really optimizing the game at all. I practiced the category briefly this week and have essentially tied this / beat it by a second, and I'm not an elite player on this game, and this was with a lot of mistakes too. Should never be the case with a TAS imo. The frustrating thing is this category has a lot more potential if you were to use some of the faster strategies.

I think it got replaced by tournaments/competitions instead. They were fun, but I would've preferred just a mission mode.

theyre often called tool assisted powerplays to differentiate the two

Nowhere does it state that it's a driftless run.
It could be that its just I with the least possible of that.
If that were the case, then he could've put that in the description.
I think maybe the point of this TAS is to get 3 stars on the missions by doing the bare minimum.
Yup
Ah, Mission Mode. One of the reasons I loved Mario Kart DS. I know these racing games are meant to be enjoyed multiplayer, but I really wish another Mario Kart did something like this again.
Gotta love it when you're one of the people who actually enjoy watching this regardless of time taken.

Missions after W4 are very hard to beat without drifts... If this video's intended to minimize drifts in beating missions, well done!
To be honest, the missions are easier on a 3DS than a normal DS.

He is drifting with DK at 6:05 and with Peach at 8:25. Have you seen the whole video?
Well, then why he did not drift in every other mission? It could have been much faster...

Anthony, if you had just added "driftless" to your video title, I think people would've appreciated this run a lot more!
