Most of the TAS is clipping out of bounds and driving around in a circle.

nymx: Dropping. I can't get this to run.

feos: Hello TheTASofBlazingmo6 and welcome to TASVideos!
It's great to see you're interested in TASing! However to be published on our site, your movie will need to meet our Movie Rules, which include optimality requirements:
If you're aiming for speed, your submission must match or beat all known records. Check places such as YouTube, NicoVideo, and Speedrun.com for speedruns, as well as the Games section of the forums and our site Userfiles.
Specifically on SpeedRun.com, there's a bunch of per-level records in each mode , including Grand Prix this run uses. Now while they are all on the PC port, they are all faster than in your movie. I checked if it matters and replicated the Reactive Factory record on bizhawk, because its strategy was very different from yours and seemed much more optimal:
I never played this game so it took a few hundred rerecords to replicate the clip, but then after learning how to brake I saved 1 second over the human record in that level. It makes it clear that the engine is largely the same and the RTA strats should be reused or improved to make a decently optimized TAS. People in the submission thread provided some useful tips too.
Rejecting for sub-optimality, but better luck next time!

The TAS is longer than the actual RTA WR (07:06)?

The input file should be finished after ~24800 frames (when "Exit" button is pressed for the last time). The title screen looks not enough optimized and I doubt it relates to RNG manipulation. The sections when you have to drive like normal don't look optimized at times. I mean, the path trails are definitely not the shortest possible or around it. UPD: temp encode has been deleted
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Flash TASer of 2022 PSX TASer of 2016
In just Resort Island alone comparing the Saturn WR to this run they are not only able to go out of bounds earlier than you (~6.20 to your ~8.70) they're able to finish that stage 2 seconds faster than you even with their bad end of first lap finagling. There's no explanation why the levels aren't done in order but compared to RTA at certain sections (as it is slower than this TAS comparatively in other stages, and certain laps) there's a lot on the floor from this TAS. Blazingmo6 please take your time in actually executing these out of bounds tricks and the quick laps as these issues in your runs that could be ironed out.

this TAS is pretty good, but it could be better as the RTA runs beat some sections, keep improving and submit again, ive TASed this before but my run wasn't good enough either so i didn't submit: Link to video
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

I honestly don't know how to optimize these games so I might never get to post anything on TASVideos :(
