@@Kosmicd12 wait what?!? I mean, I would believe it, but I can’t believe 3 years of my like happened where I didn’t even realize a masterpiece was being created
I think this is the most satisfying TAS of any game I've ever watched. The musical interludes, the fish manipulation, fireball trick shots, and that sick castle breakdown. Kudos to everyone, it's amazing.
@CHRISTOPHER NEMES It's still a speedrun, just one with the requirement of minimum A presses. If it looks like Mario is going slow in some section or did something suboptimally, they were probably setting some RNG or managing spawn position/timing. They also may have some time to mess around due to the frame rule when finishing a level
@CHRISTOPHER NEMES It's a speedrun with two ways of progression (saving jumps or saving time) allthough the one with the least amount of jumps will always be considered better regardless of how much longer it might be.
@@maxlindemann1429 A lot of time is spent waiting for things to happen, because they can't be completed with minimum A presses without the wait. This is exemplified early on by waiting for Koopas to wake up and slowly travel to the destination. So, this is still a speedrun, and they are going as fast as possible... "as fast as possible" usually is about as fast as a Koopa lol
Forget the whole minimal A press thing. I'm most impressed by these sick musical fireball beats. Swear this TASer is also a musician. Literally burst out laughing in the middle of the night from this. Amazing. (But also amazing tricks and craziness to save somtimes only 1 jump)

A few days ago i tried to see how many A Presses i could beat SMB1 RTA with glitches and i did it in 106 A Presses, didn't know you was working on the same thing but with TAS! Genius TAS! You are the best TASer Happy Lee!
I love tas' because you see some crazy stuff, and then it showing of no no reason, like all of 4-1 where Mario ducks rapidly on the right frames to not be hit and all of the moon walking and Mario having a seizure and the fireballs with the music lol
HappyLee, your mastery over this game is a work of art. Not just knowing the fastest strategies, but also showing off every little secret mechanic this game has to offer. Your skill is magnificent, and I hope you know that.
I agree, HappyLee pulled of some crazy stuff in this tas. Everyone else working on this did too, kosmic periwinkle dasmilekat and myself (who are the other 4 authors of this tas) each added so much to this project, making it so crazy. You can read the submission text of the TASVideos submission if you want to learn more about who did what.
I've been waiting to see this for a long time, and it definitely did not disappoint! I was really surprised and amazed by a lot of the strategies, like the Cheep Cheep manipulation, the end of 8-3, the 1-2 fire flower grab, and the ridiculous routes with koopas walking underground. I saw a TAS a couple of years ago that was 80 something A presses, and I never would have imagined it would get all the way down to 62. Huge congratulations to the team!
Thanks! Making this tas was so crazy, almost every idea we had ended up working. You can read the submission text / watch the commentary video of this tas for more info, but so much in this tas I would never have expected to actually work, but ended up just barely being possible
@@kriller3771 Pretty well, thanks for asking! Doing some BBH stars now. Work on the last A press in Fire Sea is still going on as well. Tyler Kehne has been making a ton of progress!

@@mileyardgigahertz Sorry, English is my second language, I thought it meant it checks on one frame, and doesn’t check for two frames. Thanks for correcting me though!
@@mileyardgigahertz Uhh not really. If the game checks for damage every two frames then they'd need to crouch for 2 frames instead of every other frame. Checking for every 2 frames means it checks for example frames 40 and 41, but not frames 42 and 43.
Thank you Mario! Your quest is over. How did you even bust out those sick moves right before you jumped on that hammer bro and saved me? Oh well, never mind, I guess we're presenting a new quest, so push B to select a world because I would have you push A but apparenty you HATE pushing A so I guess we'll have you push B instead.
This TAS is just beautiful, I basically knew most tricks going into this but it still shocked me every time especially with the "Musical Fireball", kudos to the TASer.
My dude this was a fantastic work of art. The ridiculous things you discovered while trying to find ways to "make it interesting to watch". Which one of you was responsible for synching the fireballs to the beat? Perfection.
Thanks. Me, Kriller37, DaSmileKat all did some music sync. I'm mostly in charge of 4-1, 8-1, 8-2, some of 8-4, Kriller37's mostly in charge of 1-2 ending, 8-4 last room, DaSmileKat's mostly in charge of 8-3.
It's a 3-block wide gap, so the distance is not enough. If Mario gets on the floor, he can cross the gap, but he can't enter the floor without any extra jump.
I can’t believe we were able to pull off that turn around room either. It was HappyLee dasmilekat and periwinkle who did turn around room, and dasmilekat saved an A press there too with the cheep cheep climb up the last pipe. It’s crazy that that is possible
So happy to finally finish and share this project :D
You don’t remember me
the TAS presses Left+Right at the same time, does that save any A presses and if it does than how many?

At 0:24 you just know this is gonna be a great watch
Yeah, and also hi Bismuth
Yeah, had to watch that part a few times :-)
Yeah, and it didn't disappoint
Can't wait for the 30 min video about forcing a grown Italian man doing minimal jumps by a letter action
Time for you to make a 1 hour video explaining all this
9:15 this whole part was done without jumping a *SINGLE* time, wow.
0.5 a presses
Hi Obama
Actually, it's Half-Pressed.
What was the pausing was for, though?
Manipulating the cheeps to spawn faster
05:08 is the best sync I have ever heard in any TAS of SMB1 .
10:04 beat dropped harder than my grades lol
Lol, I TASed that part and I really really liked the beat as well, glad you did too :)
Yeah Kriller37's beat is really creative. :)

10:04 How is this possible!? It's incredible how the guy made the game look like a mix with the sound effects
This is really entertaining TAS and a large part of the reason I got into them years ago.

I like how the tas does the most insane tricks possible while he is just messing around :)
You all put such excellent work into this run, it's spectacular to get to see it in such crisp quality!
Thank you. :)
The little fireball sounds to the Mario tune took this from great to amazing.
你也太強了吧！
Incredible tas!
That one dislike is the A button feeling useless
Sorry to A button. :)
2 dislikes now
A button and surfaces, apparently they dont exist cuz mario go zooooooooomm through them
5:33 lol fireballs to the music are crazy good here
I absolutely love when a TAS doubles as a musical number.
Very entertaining watch, despite so much of this TAS hinging on moving slower than a Koopa.
1:56 Mario do be flexin on those spinies tho.
Nicely done! This is my kind of TAS
I love how the fireballs are timed with the song. Such a good touch
This is awesome, congrats to all of you who worked on this project!
The most artistic run I've ever seen
Thanks for doing this!
Thanks for your comments. :D
9:18 HL even shows a glitched Mario sprite during the pausing screen

2:39 nice sync there, TAS is a machine of culture.
Its sooooo cool to see pause buffer used in a TAS.
Yeah it's probably the first SMB TAS in which pause is actually useful.
This Was the best Thing I've seen in my life😍😍!! I can understand that work behind ~11 mins!! Greatly Done!!!
Thanks. :)
10:04 If Mario was a rhythm game
I know for sure that I will be back to watch this MANY times again
Very very cheeky i love it
At 3:07 why could you not cross the gap by bouncing on the turtle ?
Sick TAS, the fishes at the end was amazing.
It's a 3-block wide gap, so the distance is not enough. If Mario gets on the floor, he can cross the gap, but he can't enter the floor without any extra jump.
The best thing about this is the music sinc

truly the most anticipated SMB TAS thus far, outstanding! the movie file says this took 62 rerecords, how many rerecordings did it actually take?

this is absurd in the best way possible
This 8-2 was better than previous nice!!
Mario is sometinew firing fireballs to sync with song. How cool is that
I have been waiting for this video for ages
I love the liberties taken in 4-1
this was amazing to see
0:50 just.....HOW?!?!(i know it is a TAS but it is still incredible)
You know you start getting to fun around 2:00 when Mario activates the speed force and starts phasing through opponents
There needs to be a minimum A (or whatever is the jump button) presses run for every Mario game.
0:51 _perfect wall jump_
I actually had a few laughs watching this, great job HappyLee, this was fucking amazing!

This is what id like to call Super mario glitchy 4
Idk if its just me but 10:00 is hilarious 😂😂
My favorite parts are when he goes under the ground to skip the entire level. My favorite part is definitely the end of 8-3.
Him shooting fireballs to the music tho

The tennis glitch may allow you to wrong warp straight to world 8, which would save 25 A presses
