Note: This video is spliced. The goal of this video was to make an accurate representation of what a full 19x 120 star run would look like. Because it is spliced, there are many inconsistencies. For most stars and most of the castle movement, I was able to record the m64 with whatever star and live count were required. However, no m64 was available for some of the segments, so that's why the star and life counts differ. Also, some of the m64s were too long to record again, so I used previous recordings by other people. It is also worth noting that some of the segments are in the wrong region. This video is primarily on the NTSC-J version because spawning displacement is only possible on that version. Some segments are on the NTSC-U version because that is the version most often used by TASers.
Note: I have been working on this video for a long time. Because of this, the route I used was only optimized for A presses and time. However, according to Kierio04, newer routes define the A Button Challenge is defined as:
1) Optimise for A presses.
2) Optimise for frames holding A.
3) Optimise for time.
So while this is not a perfect route for the A button challenge, it is still close enough to an accurate representation of a real 120 star ABC run.
This video is not perfect, so please don't point out any small continuity errors.

The description contains a lot of useful information regarding questions you may have so be sure to read it all! The biggest differences between this video and a future version using updated strats is of course the definition of the A button challenge including optimising A hold frames before time and the potential for 5 more A presses being saved from TTC, BitFS, and LLL. These changes would switch up the route completely and so the order of courses and stars you see in this video would be suboptimal. That being said, what Wade said about time spent on this is true. He’s been working on this project for a while (hence why he used a route from March that didn’t include A hold optimisation, had 19xA instead of 14xA, and made several bad decisions that you can probably spot if you watch the whole thing), so even though you may not think this video should exist, it’s a very big undertaking and he’s done an extremely good job getting all these clips together and ensuring continuity accuracy where possible.
Thank you! You helped a lot in this project and I’m so thankful.
Also thanks for the route
since when do you TAS sm64, funny kart man
What did I miss that brought the count down to 14? It's not bully battery, is it?
@@warmCabin It's 3 in TTC and 2 from... Bully Battery. In LLL and BitFS.
When they said "It's about the journey not the destination" they were talking about The Secret Aquarium
Very true!

The run starting out with the PU-less SA entrance is very fitting. Sets the tone for the craziest speedrun category in gaming history quite well
Secret of the aquarium being first will always be funny to me. No easy 0xA stars to ease into the run. Starts with an almost hour long star strat that involves 3 levels and quite advanced techniques lmao
tbh, it may not be a bad way to start it. dont want to waste time doing other levels, only to get to SOTA and mess up halfway through te strat :D plus A press runs arent your typical thats for sure!
@@johnnyedson25 lol you know this is TAS right so they can’t mess it up? Also secret aquarium needs to be first because if it isn’t you wouldn’t get the textbox at the slide and the start doesn’t work

Nice tas you got here, can't wait for it to be rendered obsolete in a few days from now.
I know, I can't wait either!
just found this video. I had no ideia there was a demonstration run of the entire abc. I think it would be cool for future videos to have an input viewer, to show how crazy this is, as well as an A button counter. Looking forward to future videos
Lucky for you, the next version will have both of those
@@Wade7_ I'm literally pogging irl rn
@@Wade7_ also. I wonder, how long would this run be without the speedup time edits?
@@buneco05 about 20-24 hours
@@Wade7_ But i just noticed BBH alone have 2 scutlebugs raisings alone 12hours each
The JRB a press is so funny to me, especially now that its been eliminated

A trip through the youtube audio library led me to this masterpiece
La
NO WAY THERE IS A VIDEO WITH ALL STARS. How amaizing is this, years of works in one video, is beautiful.
Thanks!
1:42:44 is still the saddest part of the run
I would argue that 2:47:50 is sadder
@@fuby6065 agree, 2 a presses for such a simple star 😔
Completely forgot what we were doing getting bowser in the dark without the reds done first. Took me forever to realize this was all for the no PU secret aquarium.
3:08:16 that cut lined up so perfectly
It might not be updated to the current route now xD but it's nice to finally see at what it looks like mostly strung together!
I love how there's a goomba just casually floating at 2:19
I’m kinda mad the timestamps didn’t become chapters, but oh well, I’m done worrying about this project
I heard that's only happens with 5k+ subscribers :(
Awesome video needs more views. There was a weird thing in bitfs too after the reds star that I didn’t understand.
Thanks! The thing in BitFS was setting the HOLP for BitS. There was a pretty obvious cut there because no one has tased BitFS reds while setting the HOLP. If you have any more questions on how it works, ask in the questions channel in the abc and tasing discord server.
This deserves way more veiws
Thank you!
Scuttlebugs are the MVPs of SM64
Gotta disagree, bobombs are just the basis of so many strats in comparison that I can't imagine how many extra A presses would be required if they didn't exist
I am hyped for the three new A press saved!
Pannen dropped 3 videos that shaved off 3 A presses. Incredible to see what the community is working on for years.
-this also means this is now obsolete-
The fact that this comment isn't accurate anymore is beautiful
@@tesafilmrollelol2806and another a press save in lethal lave land tick tock clock and jolly roger bay
You know a TAS is gonna be wild when the game is in the Japanese version
Love the video! ❤️ You really need to post more.
I will 😉
I never thought it was possible to get all 120 stars with a few a presses. This is game is so game breaking
I hope you can make a casually commentated version of this, that would be very nice to watch.
I was sick one day and I have a fever dream where the game was down to 0.5 A presses idea being holding down A the entire time leads to saved A presses. Just a Fever dream
Fever dreams are like that 🤷♂️
This is really cool
This is going to be a pain in the ass to re-record with the like, 5??? new A press saves, so I wish you good luck and Godspeed...
Yeah, it is. Although instead of splicing everything together in premiere pro, I’m going to only make 1 m64 file and use a lua script to change the rng and global timer so everything still syncs up. The final TAS is expected to be ~20 hours long, and encoding could take up to 80 hours because I can only realistically get around 8 fps when encoding with a lua script running.
@@Wade7_ It'll be very interesting to see the new full game ABC with the newest A press saves, but I will pray for your computer (and the hope that it won't get outdated like really really fast)
@@ANGH3LL1C420 I hope it won't be outdated soon either. I don't think there are any a press saves on the horizon that would change the route too much. Even if I have to resync everything because of an a press or major time save, it won't be that bad because there are tools to automate rng syncing. There aren't any tools to automate manually recording and video editing segments.
@@Wade7_ That's fair enough I guess, I just hope that the method you're planning on using will help save time on future re-records when those A press/major time saves arrive, because with people like Pannen, it's not a matter of if, but when.
And now we even saved the LLL A-press thanks to bullies
This is what keeps me sane
Hi Wade7! I recommend when you upload a up-to-date version from now on, that you hide the star (and/or life) count and overlay it with what it should be? Thank you.
Yeah, that will be fixed in the next version.
@@Wade7_ Wow! I didn't expect you to read it so soon. Thanks!
@@quinn7894 :)
at 16:36, what is the method used to gain height to get the chest star? in this (ua-cam.com/video/8raLW11g-M0/v-deo.html) video from pannen about the 19 remaining A presses (16 now) but its still relevant, that star is listed as A press number one, but that doesn't look like an A press.
nvm after further investigation I guess it is an A press, the bitfs A press was just mislabeled as #1
It is a backflip and a ground pound to collect JRB chests 1x
Perhaps a seizure warning: there’s a lot of pause buffering and camera abuse in some spots, please be careful
1:05:00 yes, Pannen, you're cool, we know
Mario has the lung capacity of a whale in this game
For the behind-the-camera box throw at 25:55, when was the HOLP set up?
The holp was set at 22:30 during the ccm snowman star
could have done well with an A Press counter, but hey, it works for now, even with the jank.
I thought editing life/star counts would be easy enough to just do for all the .m64s, as it shouldn't affect anything like RNG? Or maybe that's not a thing?
Regardless, good work. Certainly more than what the 120 star crew has accomplished so far (I'm only partially joking)
Some of the segment can not be found as m64.
kinda cool man!
Thanks
Would love to see an updated versian soon!
48:20 best part

"Guess for which star the setup is for"
Great video! Do you know approximately how long this run would take in actual clock time, without the fast forwarding?
According to the route I used, it would take around 20 hours. However, some stars were improved and have not been changed on the sheet, so the actually time is less. The incorrect times have comments pointing out the incorrect times. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yssoTbplI_42LgjTbERd6UuSt0gaI0iOtp-5muS5hKw/edit#gid=1232400975
@@Wade7_ some stars were actually overcorrected for timesave and also some new strats will take a longer amount of time (e.g. BitFS, TTC). For the 19xA route somewhere between 20 (lower bound) and 28 (upper bound) hours is a better representation

I just had an idea for a tas of this game that would be neat. So the idea of it is that you are only getting stars which don't cause you to exit the stage. (I.E: 100 coin, toad, and mipps stars.) Tell me what you think.

I’ve gotten this question every time the a press count is lowered lol. But yes, there is one in the works. Right now I’m waiting for a comparable route to be developed.

I actually wanna see this in unabridged
I heard a jump at 0:48.
(this is a joke don't take this comment seriously)
How are you able to dive recover without pressing A? I had to do it every time I tried because just using B did nothing.
You can always recover from a dive, (not a slide kick tho, you need A for that) with B in sm64. I’m not sure about the DS version, so this could be true for that version.
“Optimize for frames holding A“ is not part of the original challenge, and should not be considered. I understand the practicality, because it looks forward to an eventual zero A press success, but for the purposes of a TAS it shouldn’t matter.
If the frames holding A aren’t optimized, then once the first A press is done, A can just be held for the entire rest of the challenge, only releasing it for one frame every time a full A press is needed. I personally think that holding A for the entire run isn’t really in the spirit of the challenge when the goal is to not use the A button if it can be prevented.
