-What's a TAS?
A TAS, or "Tool Assisted Speedrun" demonstrates the fastest time that a speedrun could be completed without the usual disadvantages of human reaction times, skill, luck and execution. This is achieved by slowing down the game and deciding exactly which buttons are the best to press for each frame. The result is played back at full speed and often looks like perfect and/or superhuman gameplay.
Category Description:
This is CTR: Crash Team Racing Any%. This category uses the battle warp glitch but not to jump directly to the credits, since that method does NOT have oxide beaten in the game ram, but its just a cutscene warp. All skips are allowed, the goal is to beat ""Oxide"""" as fast as possible and stop him from (u)turning the earth into a Parking Lot.

Glitches
This TAS makes use of a number of glitches in the game in order to make the process as fast as possible. By quitting and also giving an input (one frame later) to join a submenu (what i do before joining Sewer Speedway warp in Hub1), i manage to "store" that submenu and access it during a race, which i shouldnt be allowed to. Doing this allows me to quit the race and head straight to the main menu, still keeping the Crystal Challenge in RAM. Having this in place, and joining the track Dingo Canyon (first in the array of the game), the game goes out of bounds with LEV_ID being negative due to the operation the game itself does to switch from common trophy races to crystal challenges, which usually happen in Battle Arenas (like Skull Rock).
Apparently wumpas and crystals share some properties in the game code, the first and most obvius being the sound they make when the player collects them. This lead me to try a few things out when i initially found the glitch, which eventually lead to finding out that all wumpas on crystal challenges manipulate the game RAM. It was not long till that made possible to manipulate ram in order to choose which item/award to manually add in the game ram (boss Keys in this instance). It's still not clear why certain section of a track having wumpas there manipulate specific parts of RAM. Dingo Canyon specifically has a couple of wumpas (one of which im using in the TAS) that give access to every single award in the game, and more.
After manipulating ram in arcade mode, to join once again Adventure Mode, i couldnt simply load the save file, as that would have got ridden of what i had just gotten via ram manipulation. Instead, i made use of an old Battle Warp glitch, mainly used to skip to the cutscene in a(n)(infamous) way to end the game, that simply warps to the ending cutscene when performing the battle warp glitch 16 times in a row. Here, i just needed to use it 2 times in order to join Hub2 of adventure mode and get back to business by avoiding the common way of loading back into the save file.
Once i finally collect all the keys, since the "battle warp glitch" is still active, i wouldnt be racing the final boss, nor be able to end the final race, so what i ended up doing is "storing" a sub-menu once again to keep the final boss race in ram, while reloading adventure mode. This forces the game to transform any trophy warp i enter (crash cove here) to be interpreted as the final boss race. And there it goes, once winning the final race, final cutscene plays, followed by credits. Final Boss results beaten in the game RAM. - เกม

I honestly prefer this game over Mario Kart. It just hits different.
"AAAAAAAH! I can't believe you beat me!"
Indeed, he didn't
Incredible run, a huge step up compared to the one you did with Tiny
This game has still so much to offer it's amazing
18:40 Nothing like that sibling rivalry to really tie up those loose ends (and the run)
Are you planning on making a 101% TAS of Crash Team Racing?
This was just fantastic and funny to watch!! Congrats for the insane result 💖
Love the new tech on the Sewer walls. Strong warp 1 man. Was incredibly fun to watch.
Thanks, that really means a lot to me; i will definitely improve the NMG one day, following the quality of this Warp 1
@@AleMastroianni I can't wait to see this. The first TAS you released was mindblowing by itself, it's crazy to think what you could accomplish with the rest of the tracks.
i dont understand nothing
I guess the "final boss" is fitting... in an odd way.
That would have been incredible in Nitro-Fuelled, Crystal Challenges on the race tracks.
OXIDE: You cant claim you are the fastest until you collect all the time relics.
Finishes the game in less than 20 mins, I don't think that is necessary
Incredible effort. Great job. It kind of looks like speed boost hack, especially where you jump back to back without any boost half of the map.
Jeez sewer speedway was fast, congrats on this one man it was great
Amazing. Truly amazing.
Congratulations.
Duuuude craziest shit I've ever seen! You are a legend 🤩👍🏻
Wtf, you are incredible!!!
This is amazing
WHAT was that starting from 12 minute?? can you give comments about how it works???
Wow amazing
i havent whatched it yet but i know it will be awesome :3
Come hai fatto ad andare in seconda posizione e prendere la maschera in Mystery Caves?
using coco as a better camera was a solid movie choice
Hot Coco 👏👏👏👏
One dislike from redhot
😂
Una pregunta como sacos los personajes
let me get this straight? you just beat oxide by not facing him?
How does this all work? You do like 20 different non-linear things and it adds up to beating Oxide?!
there is a lot of glitches working on together. Basically is like confusing the game making it think you did things that you actually did in other races. Like the final step, winning in the beach and Oxide saying you win against him, beating the game.
Is the second half an Arbitrary Code Execution setup??
Nah it's just overlapping of modes, causing you to get things during points where you otherwise wouldn't. By hitting quit and start at the same time on the pause menu, it stores the menu of the mode you were in, which can cause overlaps if you then use that stored quit menu in a place where it shouldn't be. For example, storing the adventure hub menu, if you enter a crystal challenge with it, it allows you to quit to the main menu from the crystal challenge, storing the crystal challenge state. This is what the TAS does, it allows you to then enter a race with the crystal challenge properties which, due to how RAM is stored for this game, collecting wumpa in Canyon fulfills the crystal challenge requirements and gives you a random collectible depending on how you moved and what inputs you did in that race. He gets a key with all three instances, and is then able to beat the game that way. Gross oversimplification, but I hope it helps make it make more sense
@GalaxianSR My Computing AS level on random access memory comes in useful here 😅
how come he is not drifting at all and goes full speed nonstop? can someone explain plz
Basically he’s making use of parts of the map where the barriers aren’t fully solid, to ride and cut through parts of the map. And the way this game is programmed, each time the kart goes down a slope, they gain more speed which is known as Speed Ghost and can conserve momentum while at full speed by constant kart bouncing
Did you find out the crystal/wumpa glitch yourself, or was it someone online?
Found it myself, there is an explanation video on the channel
Can you explain why does hopping like mad help you keep speed?
Its a technique called frogging. In this game you dont lose speed while airborne, so the jest of it is, if you get max speed, frogging helps you to keep that speed, so you lose speed really slowly (only when the wheels touch the ground)
Love your remixes btw :D
frogging is speedghosting?
Friction from the ground slows the car down
Wait...KEY DUPLICATION?!?! HOW?!
how to drive like that?
wtf you meant jumping with the car is way faster than turbo XD i can imagine a parody of terminal montage about this
Ctr nitro fuelt bro??
ah so i wasn't the only one that knew the wall riding in sewer speedway.
Jesus Christ if you told young me that it was possible to overlap ripper roo I’d lose my mind
Why did he do it with coco why not a speed character
Because Coco (same as Dr. N. Gin) have maxed out acceleration (Accel: 4/4) which makes it easier to keep max speed throughout the run (you can see the speedometer over the roof). Speed characters may require different techniques
How the hell did you manage to get a mask in first place in caves?
It's a TAS
On some tracks in this game, there is a bug where the race places jumble up, and some times, if the player is in first place, the bug can occur on certain parts of a track, and if they collect a crate when it does, they have a chance at getting a mask, obviously, in this case, that chance is forced due to it being a TAS.
This one is possible for a human, by placing a TNT on a specific part of the track (the split road section before the fireballs), an AI will always hit it, which when they interact with it and blow up, it will fuck with the placements for a small moment. It's pretty epic
Nice mod
Wow 😲🤩😍
What ?!!!
Playing as intended lol
Wins in a 2-player battle mode
Gets 4th
qe?
wha? como?
Mell winkler 😭😭😭😭
I love how it looks like he is doing random bullshit when instead he performing an arbitrary sequence of steps aimed at breaking the very fabric of reality in order to achieve optimal time on a videogame. I love CTR
wtf did i just see
why coco lul
I feel like i was playing a different game. Wtf happened here 😅
What was that xd
мой мир не станет прежним ............
RAM abuse 💀
و
What the even hecc lol
It's a TAS
sto gioco è rotto
Glitch and cheating too bad
Look up what TAS is....
eto ne game, cheater
it literally says "TAS" in the title so stop whining
Back in my day kids used to play games
Hacker
