That was great fun! I've loved TASes for 10+ years now, so I decided to sack the SM64 race and participate. That was a ton of fun, and I'll definitely take part in another one if it's done in the fututre.
The only thing I'll say is that the time limit was a bit ambiguous - I had to rush the last third of my run thinking there was barely any time left, but there was an hour to spare before the deadline actually hit. If I had known that then I would have been able to finish properly. I'd say either a slightly shorter game (15k frames or so rather than ~20k) or a slightly longer time limit would be better for the absolute novices, bear in mind there's the playing of the game initially + actually learning how to tas.

There's my encode for anyone who cares, thanks for the race!
