My nominations for ROM hack TAS of the year: [4694] NES Super Orb Bros. "all orbs" by Mizumaririn in 09:17.07 The new mechanics introduced by the hack get pushed to their limits even beyond the original hacker's intentions. Mizumaririn shows off their incredibly high level knowledge to show that even precisely designed Kaizo type hacks can have some impressively unintended solutions. [4994] NES Rockman 2: Basic Master by CUI in 18:25.33 The new weapons and items demonstrate just how dangerous it is to give players, especially TASers, the tools to just do zips almost whenever in Mega Man 2. cui has a strong grasp of fundamental Mega Man 2 physics as well as exploiting all the quirks of the new weapons to zip past huge chunks of the game.

TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.
