Mario64Masters' comments:

I started this project around December 2010, with motives of a route like this one. It has been quite a long time since I have done any TASing, my life has gotten extremely busy lately, and all I've had is this big slowly progressing project. In January 2011, I began some drafts in order to find the quickest and most lag-free route for the swimming part. A very special thanks and acknowledgement goes to sonicpacker and SilentSlayers for their amazing advice, encouragement and support:

I also made Nahoc10 aware of this project at this time. Eventually, after following many leads and advice from SS and SP, including non-tases by elmo and neurkan, I composed the swimming component of the run. This beat rikku's swimming part by more than 11 seconds. At this stage, I took a break from the project, I knew that the next part of the run would require a thoughtful modern route. A HSWK route, of course, was the whole point to revising this star. When I got time, I occasionally did some tests for possible HSWKs and ways to navigate around the room. Fast.

About 4 months after I initiated this break in the project, I approached Nahoc10. Together we discussed possibilities, until Nahoc ingeniously devised the route you see in this video. After composing a draft we explored ways to minimise lag and make this route as efficient as possible. Nahoc did the TASing for this part. Nahoc then optimised this part to the best of his ability, allowing us to create a final product.

As it was Nahoc's brilliant tasing skills and planning that allowed us to employ this route, he deserves far more credit. Nahoc, you are AMAZING. People like Nahoc, SilentSlayers and sonicpacker are the reason these things happen, and they all deserve a great deal of respect.

Re-records:

Ok, I'm going to admit I can't be certain of the number of re-records in total that were used, as the swimming component was re done four times. However, from what I can deduce by looking at those past TASes and adding the re-recs, this product sits on about 32.000 re-records. Of course, it is very possible that this can be improved, and is likely to be by the Japanese 120 star team, but I believe this is a good base to work with.

For anyone who was wondering, the previous world record by Rikku was 2'04"63. This saves 20.31 seconds over that run. However, Rikku's run was in many ways the ancestor of this run, hence Rikku is much accredited.
