[MKWii TAS] Completing A Lap Of 8 Tracks with THE SAME INPUT
507Same Input Challenge Volume 11. Playlist of all videos: • Same Input Challenge
Continuing from last week's video, I thought I'd work my way towards finishing all 32 tracks with the same input, just by grouping them together instead of one at a time (I tried to do this in 2021, and it took over 20 minutes). Consider this a direct sequel to the 3 ultras video.
Before I could start, I wanted to figure out how much progress the other 29 tracks made with the inputs from the MG/WGM/GV video. I tested about 15 different combos (which is 435 runs to watch and note down, so it took a while), before finding 8 different tracks that got stuck behind some sort of roadblock quite early on. The two courses with the least progress were rSL and DKS, so I picked them as the focus pairing, with the intention of helping the other six courses just get past their roadblocks (I later decided to focus on all 8, which is...utterly insane).
The whole TAS was broken up into different phases, where I focused on different sets of tracks:
0:00 Inputs from the MG/WGM/GV video
0:50 rSL+DKS (getting DKS to the cannon)
0:58 rBC+BC+rDS+RR (getting RR to the first ramp)
1:06 MT+rDS+RR (getting MT to the cannon)
1:17 rSL+BC+rDS+RR (general progress - getting rDKJP into cannon was an accident)
1:50 rBC+BC+RR (getting RR to the cannon)
1:58 MT+rBC+rDS (general progress)
2:12 MT+rBC+rDS+RR (getting rDS to dock and RR to zipper - most fun part of the TAS to make)
2:18 rSL+MT+rDKJP+rBC (general progress)
2:24 rSL+rBC+rDS+RR (getting RR to last ramp)
2:32 MT+rBC+rDS (getting MT to tunnel exit)
2:47 MT+rBC+BC+rDS+RR (getting rDS and RR to end areas)
2:59 rBC+BC (getting rBC and BC to end areas - hardest part of the TAS to make)
3:36 rSL+rDKJP (getting rSL and rDKJP to end areas - RR, DKS, and MT finishing were expected accidents)
4:10 rSL+rDKJP+rBC+BC+rDS (getting all courses to lap 2)
Once I finished, I knew from my attempt in 2021 that rYF would likely be finished, so checked all characters on the best combo I had noted down (which so happens to be Spear), and found that Dry Bowser was able to finish lap 1, making it technically 9 courses completed with the same inputs!
There are far too many minor things going on in these runs (there's 40+ minutes of gameplay) to analyse, so I'm not going to do that here. Hopefully the sheer amount of courses I completed is enough to keep you entertained for many weeks to come :D
This took over 60 hours.
