Sorry about the horrible video quality...

So I decided to actually make a TAS that finishes the game using the Boot. I'm able to use the Boot with a cheat code, by changing memory address 0577 to value 01 in the FCEUX emulator.


This is quite an interesting route I first thought I would have to use for this category. There are several levels that can't be beaten with the Boot. The main reason for this route is that 8-Fort is impossible. The blocks in the beginning require you to break as Super Mario. The problem then is that I can't get through the conveyor belt before Boom Boom, as it's impossible to duck and I can't take damage without losing the Boot. This level therefore has to be skipped with a Cloud.



Another level you can't beat is 2-Pyramid. The reason is that when you jump on an enemy, they'll die instantly, it's therefore not possible to jump on a Buzzy Beetle, pick it up and throw against the wall. Beating W2 would give a cloud, and is the earliest instance where it's obtainable, too bad I can't get to the castle without skipping the pyramid with a Cloud...


To solve this I got to collect both Warp Whistles in W1, beat W1 normally, get the third Whistle in W2, warp to W6, fight the HB with the Cloud and use the remaining Whistles to get to W8. The Cloud in W4 would technically have been faster, but you can't warp to W4 from W2.


This was going to be the fastest route to use for this category. However... I just found out a method to actually beat 8-Fort with the Boot! Meaning I can warp to W8 instantly after grabbing the first two Whistles, like in the normal Any% No Wrong Warp category. As I had already TASed W2 and W6, I thought I could just as well upload them, as they wouldn't have been seen otherwise.


Question? Go ahead! Otherwise, enjoy!


This is a Tool Assisted recording. Meaning it was recorded using an emulator with slow motion, save states and rerecording.
