I'll be updating this comment with information that should clarify any frequently asked questions or mistakes that are discovered in the video. - At 36:17, the fake EVT structure shown is actually the data stored in the fake structure the frame AFTER the credits mapchange function call is executed... This causes nextCmdPtr to be updated to what the game expects to be the location of the next command to be executed. Also, since the game executed this event, it updates timeScheduleToRun, which tracks how long the event should run for. This means it will lower timeScheduleToRun's value because of this.
As it turns out, this whole time, the secret to defeating the Shadow Queen was hidden deep into the 100+ page terms and conditions of some random store's reward system; it's just that nobody ever bothered reading that far before Mario.
Finally, the 17 year journey of keeping Frankly, the best partner, even until the end credits, is complete. And in the process, we managed to complete the game pretty quick, too. Neat.
@@Kierio04 Yes and no. This definitely opens up the door to it, and I'd argue it's certainly a rudimentary form without having full control, but I see what you're saying
This is fucking insane, I remember 3 years ago that I watched the 2:25:28 tas and thought that was the peak of the game, but a few years later, it went down to sub-2 hour, and then I thought that was the holy grail and nothing could ever beat it forever, 8 months later, 25 minute tas
I respect that you always have subtitles on your vids. I personally don't need them, but it's kinda annoying that even the biggest youtubers write scripts and don't bother to put subs up. Great stuff Malleo!
@@Malleo my experience with writing scripts for things is like, i typically dont follow them verbatim, or i change things as im recording different takes (typically if i notice a phrase being used too much), so what i say doesn't always match what i wrote exactly. tho i dont have a youtube channel for this kind of stuff so i dunno
I personally like to have subs on so if I miss something I can just glance down instead of having to rewind constantly. My hearing's fine, but my attention wanes and it helps a lot with comprehending this kinda stuff.
I didn't understand a word of what I just watched, but I know by the tone of Malleo's voice how excited he is about this discovery and I couldn't help but feel the infectious energy emanating from every description throughout the entire video. As we say on twitch, long time lurker of your channel. You're amazing!
Sometimes I wonder whether the internet and technology was a good addition to mankind. But the complexity and methods with which some communities navigate simple creations like TTYD to me resembles the beauty of chaos in the universe itself. Keep that passion alive.
This method of ace is super cool, because it combines traditional ace - memory manipulation and understanding of execution - with something akin to mario 64’s cloning. Great stuff!
That reminds me, why haven't we found ace and or a credit warp in mario 64 yet? Millions of ways of crashing without cheats, notoriously glitchy, an *almost* unlimited cloning bug, but no ace and or credits warp? Strange. Maybe it wouldn't be any faster? I don't know.
I can't figure the people who feel that having an ACE or buffer exploit or the sort to credits warp 'negates' the point of speedrunning. As mentioned, it just makes a new category fork. It's like saying that the existence of TASrunning negates the point of a person speedrunning a game on the console. Your category exists, the game is still there, and there's still untapped saves and tricks and glitches to find. It doesn't negate the work for routing a no-credits-warp run or finding new tricks to save tremendous gaps of time for a 100% run or whatever you prefer to run or watch... just as having people playing the game for fun doesn't negate the sheer amount of research and work and planning that went into this. So kudos on this. An amazing achievement!
Honestly, all of this is basically archmage-tier sorcery to me, and unlike a magic trick explaining it actually makes it more interesting, even though i barely understand a goddamn thing you're saying since it's vastly outside of my realm of awareness. Keep on making these, they're beautiful
User Funk sounds like a fun genre of music. But seriously, this is phenomenal. I LOVE hearing all the specifics behind these glitches, the pure Rube Goldberg Machine of actions that make it work is bizarre and compelling. Great job!
What a phenomenal video and explanation! Seeing the credits warp happen on stream was a surreal experience, and honestly the second it happened I was wondering when this video would be made, lol. Congratulations on having all of your hard work pay off! This is no small feat, and I can’t wait to see how this develops further in the future
I never understand videos like this that you post. Yet, every time you post one I literally get out snacks and drinks and set myself up to watch. I actually retain a thing or two. Hope we get to see your 100% TAS soon! Good job! Keep working hard and posting TTYD content!
I came across one of your TTYD vids a while ago and it introduced me to a world i never knew existed to the point where i might even one day get into speed running :) thank you so much for everything, you’re amazing
on one hand, I LOVE learning about how video games work under the hood, especially with your vids, since they're easy to follow for the uninitiated! on the other, I got so easily distracted during what would otherwise be laser focus that at 21:38, I caught myself yelling aloud, completing the sentence with "in the balls."
Love the use of Super Paper Mario music here. The finality of The Ultimate Show for the holy grail of glitches. The way Count Bleck's theme takes hold as you reach what can only be considered the end of an era, the end of what we know as TTYD TASes, and hoping that from the ashes a new world will rise from the framework you laid out. And as you approched your goal, A manic glee settles over the crowd, a triumpahnt fanfare as the chaos heart does its magic, as you exit the menu from pause hammering. That was what you wanted, right? To destroy the world, to destroy TTYD Speedrunning in order to reshape it into something better? But you know your task is not nobel. There are those who will be hurt. Runners who dislike games with credits warps. But once you started down this path, you knew there was no stopping; someone else will simply pick up where you left off. The Dark Prognosticus is the true prophecy, after all, and nothing will stop the community from finding the ultimate time save. And in your final moments, you acknoledge what you did may cause strife in the community, just as Blumiere reflected on his own actions. Oof, sorry, got a little poetic there. SPM is a good story, okay? TL;DR: Super Paper Mario has some Bops.
(a) I'm pretty sure this is currently humanly impossible, no-one's going to do it anytime soon unless there's some new discoveries. (b) Even if they do... new category, just like every humanly possible credits warp. Edit: Malleo said the exact same thing at 37:33. It's just a simple understanding of how speedrunning works.
@@btf_flotsam478 @BTF_Flotsam I know, I just wanted to write something that sounded cool :V also, just because its not human viable doesnt mean it wont be soon.

If this is console verifiable it absolutely should be! Although they usually stick to shorter or more understandable things for the crowd who don't understand the techy stuff.
Unless something has changed, many of the inputs required in the credits warp are literally impossible to perform on an unmodified controller. Notice how many of the control stick inputs are outside the normal range of possible input, and how on at least one controller every single direction is held down at the same time. That mixed with incredible precision makes this current route not viable to ever be shown at gdq in an rta run. GDQ's tas block is not particularly favorable for tases, and reading a sign for 9 minutes doesnt seem "flashy" enough for them.
You lost me at the beginning and I was paying a lot of attention. I don’t think he started out “zoomed out “enough, you’re explaining the complicated talk to a fighting game to my dad or something, who doesn’t even know what neutral or advantage is. however, I must admit that this video is so genius that I was entertained the whole time even though it was practically in a different language. It’s an honor and a pleasure to see this. Thank you so very much
This is awesome. It’s incredible to see how my favorite game has developed so much over the past two decades. Also so excited to see the commentated 100% TAS when it comes :D
Me watching this video: "Ah yes, numbers and letters are simple and totally not complicated" Also, congrats on further breaking my favorite RPG. While I'm not big into speed running, seeing people pour months, if not years of their lives into breaking down this game to it's absolute most basic structure is beautiful. Seeing as this has only been done because the game is worth the effort
This reminds me of class. I just did an entire lesson and I don't think I learned a single thing. Not because the video is bad mind you, I'm just dumb.
You're not dumb, you just don't have any background in computer science. If you had, I'm confident everything would make more sense. I don't have one either, I tried to follow and pause for a while to figure stuff out but there's just too much you don't know when you have zero knowledge of programming. I'm sure Malleo did a great job of explaining it but you need to have a basic understanding of coding/programming to really appreciate it I think. (Or I'm just dumb but I don't seem to be the only one)
Really depends on your definition of "significant". Generally after credits warp is found, a few months to a year of optimizing the credits warp route happen, after that people generally return to warpless or 100% categories. As a general rule of thumb, the longer a speedrun is, the more opportunities for time save, new discoveries, and general improvement there are.
I'll generalize your question to: If a Yoshi-less Palace Skip is found, would I consider doing a new any% no Arbitrary Script Execution TAS? Yep, I would!
It is hard to believed when I was 8, I got addicted to this game. I would stay up all night playing ttyd. Im 16 now and still kinda addicted to the game. I think in my first play through when I was younger it took me 3 years to beat the game. Now when i play the game it takes me 8-10 days because I try to do a chapter a day but now we can do it in 30 minutes. My 8 year old mind would have blown up.
Wow, very impressive! Inb4 there's code execution in Rogueport's Inn (the water drop possibly being the effect) - I'm sure there's going to be another area found, even earlier than the first chapter. Good luck optimizing!
the work this community does is continuously mind-blowing. Thank you so much for the explanation Malleo! Deeply enjoyed your sentiment at the end, too.
Not sure why this was only recommended to me now, but holy shit what a video. That introduction hyped me up enough to watch through the entire thing in one sitting lol
lmao, it's so fascinating seeing people take apart and utterly dissect games and manipulate them to do some crazy shit. It's one of the reasons why i love watching speedruns, especially TASes
Pressing down to increment your X position float by exactly 1. That is something else, man! I assume that's 1 in a million or 1 in a few hundred thousand at that position. Still better than subplanck-perfect!
Arbitrary Script Execution... "Do you hear the baby stars? These newborns will grow up to become galaxies someday. When stars die, they turn to stardust and scatter across the cosmos. Eventually, that stardust reforms to create a new star... And so the cycle of life continues. But the cycle never repeats itself in quite the same way.... So...you'll see."
There's the movie cliche of "We have our top scientists working on it". You achieved the "top scientists" position. This video goes right next to "Watch for Rolling Rocks in 0.5xA Presses"
They're part of a mechanism to control the rate at which evts update that appears unused in retail TTYD. For example, you can set the time scale of an evt to 0.2 and it will update only every 5 or so frames, or you can set it to 10 and it'll update up to 10 times per frame depending on what the evt is doing. Presumably this is a remnant of the PM64 era, I don't believe any evt in retail TTYD uses it.
0:05 As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I said out loud "Oh god, what.". Like, I had no idea a credits warp was even in the work. This is gonna be a doozy! Will almost certainly comment more later!
That this takes place in Petalburg of all places definitely seems like the first thing that's likely to change in the future. Sure, that's only chapter one, but TTYD offers quite a bit more maps to experiment with even before then, and surely one of them has the potential to mix the right batch of EFFs and EVTs just as a matter of probability. Are the four file names adjacent in memory? They seem like the most immediate location that specific data could be written to for later usage.
We don't have a wide range of (what are essentially ASCII) values to write to the filenames to do what we need. So the filenames don't offer much for us sadly
I'll be updating this comment with information that should clarify any frequently asked questions or mistakes that are discovered in the video.
- At 36:17, the fake EVT structure shown is actually the data stored in the fake structure the frame AFTER the credits mapchange function call is executed...

Hopefully not. I'm sure there will be more TAS developments in other categories, such as 100%, or any further developments in Any% No ASE.
Other time saves might still be found in the Prologue, like a plane panel skip or being able to do ACE on the NTSC version, allowing Goomba Trio skip

Being in chat for this reveal was truly special. Awesome work to everyone involved
Has there ever been a moment where they found something significant after a credits warp was discovered? Wording's got me curious.
Really depends on your definition of "significant". Generally after credits warp is found, a few months to a year of optimizing the credits warp route happen, after that people generally return to warpless or 100% categories. As a general rule of thumb, the longer a speedrun is, the more opportunities for time save, new discoveries, and general improvement there are.
I mean, SMB3 has a faster TAS only credits warp that was discovered later, which is the exception
If the EFF Overflow is found to be possible, would you consider doing a new "no credits warp" TAS?

You achieved the "top scientists" position. This video goes right next to "Watch for Rolling Rocks in 0.5xA Presses"
what do timescale and timescheduledtorun in the event struct do?
SG is pretty certain that they are used to determine how long the event should run for (in terms of frames)
They're part of a mechanism to control the rate at which evts update that appears unused in retail TTYD. For example, you can set the time scale of an evt to 0.2 and it will update only every 5 or so frames, or you can set it to 10 and it'll update up to 10 times per frame depending on what the evt is doing. Presumably this is a remnant of the PM64 era, I don't believe any evt in retail TTYD uses it.
0:05 As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I said out loud "Oh god, what.". Like, I had no idea a credits warp was even in the work.
This is gonna be a doozy! Will almost certainly comment more later!
My brain just exploded 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 (999 decillion) times over
I was at the reveal stream, and I still am in shock!
6:10 starting arrays at 1 and not zero *retches*
That this takes place in Petalburg of all places definitely seems like the first thing that's likely to change in the future. Sure, that's only chapter one, but TTYD offers quite a bit more maps to experiment with even before then, and surely one of them has the potential to mix the right batch of EFFs and EVTs just as a matter of probability.
Are the four file names adjacent in memory? They seem like the most immediate location that specific data could be written to for later usage.
We don't have a wide range of (what are essentially ASCII) values to write to the filenames to do what we need. So the filenames don't offer much for us sadly
Incredible.
Aw man. I'm glad that this was found, but it'll cut out so much of what I love from the game.
