Okay, das hier dürfte dann wohl der Speedrun des Monats sein. Vier japanische Runner holen sich in Super Mario 64 ganze 20 Sterne (mehr gingen wohl nicht) – ohne je A zu drücken. In 21 Minuten und 12.43 Sekunden. Der interessante Teil beginnt ab 4:53.

If Mario can’t use A button, how many stars Mario can get? And how much time does it take?

This TAS is made by 4 Japanese TASers.

Tool-assisted Speedruns for the fucking win. Hier noch ein cleverer Kommentar aus dem Reddit-Thread:

The fact that someone has taken a game with a character who debuted as “Jumpman”, whose most famous move is jumping, and then decided to try and beat it without fucking jumping says a lot about how much gamers care what the dev team wants them to do.

Yeah!
