yeah, well, i could do it in 5, so HAH...bitch...
nvm.
I don't get how this is a legit speed run if its Tool Assisted.
I think in the speed running community there are two kinds of runs that are generally accepted; the TAS and the good old-fashioned go-thru-the-game-but-exploit-what-you-can-within-the-game's-context type.
Even though one kind is tool-assisted, they're generally insanely fast. But if they aren't your thing, there are plenty of videos of the other kind kickin around.
It may be tool-assisted, but it takes insane skill to get past those Bowser stages like that.
He did miss all the good parts of the game though...
It's not a normal speedrun; this isn't something that would get accepted at Speed Demos Archive or anything. But it's still nonetheless very impressive to watch. The "tool assisted" part refers primarily to three tools: Running the game in an emulator, which isn't allowed at all for a normal manually made speedrun, rerecording constantly, something not possible on a console speedrun without breaking the game into segments or restarting entirely from the beginning, and playing the game frame-by-frame to move and work as perfectly as possible.
Tool assisted = fail.
