The TAS is actually pretty ground breaking with the abuse of new techniques ( mainly Broken Stearing and airborne shiftboosts ). To sumarize them: Broken Stearing makes it possible to turn almost instantly when airborne, which is used to cut the checkpoints extremely sharp. Airbone shiftboosts are just what it says, shiftboosts in the air that you normally only do on the ground on specific spots depending on your speed. So this opens many more opportunities for potential shiftboosts to speed up even more. Those tricks were sorta known already, but they happen extremely rare and usually only ruin runs whenever they happen. That said it is extremely impressive to see them used so well in a TAS since they are barely known and seem extremely random and require a ton of work to get them even to trigger and even more to make them how you want them. Also CGN did a more detailed explanation here if anyone wants more info on the TAS: http://www.fzerocentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=9884&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60

Oh my God, that was incredible. :) This level was always such a struggle for me, playing single player. Seeing that was jaw-dropping. Great job!!

So I appear to have... done a barrel roll? Link to video Is this a known occurrence? I've never seen or heard of this happening, and thought someone with a little more technical knowledge of the game could shed some insights into why it happened. Although I wasn't recording at the time, I did save the replay and was able to extract that from my memory card and export it to a Dolphin-compatible .gci file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m1qeukgoUhtgCUIF5wFjrimd8G8BlsuV Warning: terrible attempt at snaking. I never was good at it, and was only doing that to beat the staff ghost.
