Super Mario Galaxy TAS Competition Compilation

I hosted the second ever Super Mario Galaxy TAS Competition, and these are the spectacular results!
For the latest info on SMG TASing (and competitions), join here: / discord
I'm so happy with how successful this competition was, thank you to everyone that made it possible - those who helped set it up, those who entered, and even those who wanted to enter but couldn't because of unfortunate timing. There will be another competition near the end of the year.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Task: In Gold Leaf Galaxy, start by launching from the dandelion, spin into 4 of the 7 custom placed dead leaves, and finish by grabbing the vine. The spring to get onto the tower has been removed.
• The lower spring has been removed
• The bee mushroom has been moved (you are still allowed to collect it)

Viable route diversity is unreal here. I know most people went 2, 3, 4, 7 but both 2nd places going for different routes and tying to the frame is insane

[@EpicRandomGamingChannel]

I literally had to triple check the timing because this is so unlikely (especially at 60fps)
I don't think I'll ever create a task this balanced again LOL

Style points for the star drawing at 2:27

[@RSw_Why]

[@madghostek3026]

Galaxy brain imo fr

[@EpicRandomGamingChannel]

you a real one for boosting the entrant numbers 💯🔥🙏

[@mcmooshroo2974]

You joke but genuinely having a good-but-ultimately-last place entry helped set the stage for how optimized the higher rankings were

[@Ojj2002]

amazeballs job

[@TibsSR]

That was such a cool video!! Very well made and the music choice was on point. Would love to see more of these competitions in the future!

[@Zachruff]

wait wtf how does that dandelion launch work, never seen that

[@Zachruff]

or is that just like part of the game normally

[@EpicRandomGamingChannel]

hahaha Billy helped me find the right RAM values so I could hack it to have a custom launch angle and speed

[@pretz3lverse]

Dude what was that song??

[@EpicRandomGamingChannel]

an electronic take on a classical song. Truly a banger if you ask me
