Jacob Williams It stands for tool assisted speedrun. They program actions to be performed in an emulator running a game for every frame, or every so many frames. It allows for perfect precision, rng manipulation and a few other things. They essentially make perfect runs of games with all known tricks. A lot of what they do in TAS isn't really possible for people. Both the movement precision, and the frame perfect actions are very hard to do in person. That said, TAS videos still take an immense amount of time to create. Not only is programming every input pressed in a 80min game slow work, but the person making the TAS needs to have knowledge of every trick in the game and how to do the tricks. I hear that rng manipulation is a very slow process as well. At least...that's what I'm aware of it being. I do not make TAS videos, nor have I researched the topic very much. That explanation should give you a pretty good idea of what it is though. The methods used to create TASs are mostly unknown to me, but I do know that it isn't played live and that the inputs are all automated.
More than just the speed, the efficiency of this is... terrifying. Just how much time was spent learning all there is to know from glitches to secret passages? And near the end... man, you were just showing off.
I had that feeling as well the first time I saw a TAS (of Mario in my case). I thought "this guy is a hero. I'm just witnessing a super heroe right here.", and I felt amazing! ahah. So disappointed after finding out it was TAS. reality sucks hah
This TAS is one of the best videos I have watched for a long time! However, if I had watched this seven years ago, I would have said, "How the f--k are you doing that?!"
It stands for Tool Assisted Speedrun. Such runs are made with an emulator with tools to find out how fast a game can be beaten when everything is 100% perfect. One tool is called Frame Advance which will let you choose what input to be made for every frame in the run (60 frames/second) which is to simulate perfect human reflexes. During the progress you also use Save States in order to fix errors. That sums it up at least. You can read more by following the link in the description.
What you have been watching is a Tool Assisted Speedrun. Made with Frame Advance (Playing frame by frame) and Save States (Undo mistakes). Though everything you see works the same exact way on console. There are no modifications or cheat codes in use.
TAS are meant to push a game to it's technological limit with the aid of software, not necessarily show off the skill of the player. There is definitely some skill involved, but the point is not "Hey look how good I am at this game". A non-tas or regular speed run is to show off the skill of a player.
28:00 Just when I thought he messed up he proves me wrong by showing what he lost his monkey for. This person knows the game inside and out and knows every single glitch in it as well notice the piranha level where he used a swapping trick to elevate one monky up way up in the air. That was like mad sweet and is gonna be used from now on lol
I think it's funner just to see how fast you can beat the game, and how you can totally fuck up and glitch the game to your advantage I love glitches, you can do some crazy cool shit
TAS is tool assited though, which means they can rewind everytime they make the smallest mistake, if you want to see speedrunners with good skill you should check out the single segment runs.
53:27 one of the most visually appealing videos to see done in a TAS :D
Speedrunners will always be on the next lvl of gameplay.
it's a TAS, not people actually playing.
Christopher Ryan What's a TAS anyway?

Christopher Ryan Oh, thank you.
Awesome TAS! You guys are amazing
You made Animal Antics look like a Call of Duty mission
Fuck off
A timestamp would be nice here...
Which is why I thought to put it here after I found it: 58:15
I thought Web Woods at 53:25 was better/more CoD-like.
Gracias amigo por su grandioso video me hizo recordar mucho pelao todo bien

This is TAS (it says in the title)!

WHen I first played this game. I couldn't figure out how to jump across the hooks in the third level. Then I realized...there's a run button...
Parabéns cara, você realmente sabe jogar.
Minha infância foi a falência depois desse video kkkkkkk
ixi mais um fora da minha parte kkkkkkk

thiago augusto tas muito firme. Demora para programar tudo.
This TAS is one of the best videos I have watched for a long time! However, if I had watched this seven years ago, I would have said, "How the f--k are you doing that?!"
Nice :) I like seeing TAS, especially for DKC,
26:43 - Wait... WHAT!?

No shit sherlock
It's because people were complaining that these were "cheating".
"Red-Hot Ride!" at 13:00 was beautiful
This games quality and graphics are better than modern, and yet Rare focused on the gameplay itself instead! Legend (period).
simply amazing ...
None the less, it is still quite entertaining to watch.
Nice TAS
saudades muito NOSTALGICO❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Tool Asssited Speedruns are never using cheat codes.
Tas speedruns: Exist
Music in video games: Ight ima head out

You sirs, destroyed the achievements of my youth in 1:22:17.17
Nice tas
This game sound track is marvellous Y__Y
Holy damn was Castle Crush amazing.
I never played the DKC Sequels. After watching this, I'm going get the roms...
This would be the game I love playing.
eu era o melhor nesse jogo, mas tu me superou, parabens, otimo video ^^
The beginning of the video sounds like it could be incorporated into a fine beat. The sounds when it first says "Donkey Kong Quest"
muy pero muy impresionante, pasé el juego muchas veces pero jamas supe que estaba ese final oculto.

There is a small opening between the top brambles and the bird and that is how you don't have to race him :)
Respect
Very few games can top the original. This is one of them.

Gotta love the beehive freefalls.

WOOWWW! .I saw the video until the end. LOOOLLL 1:13:25 He plays with death.
1:11:27 I thought that was the end, but Rare surprised me with more levels! =D
I've always been so freaked out by those bees
Diddy loves Dixie’s music 6:04
BEST PLAYER HE HE AMAZING
Nice glitch at Chain Link Chamber!
Chora n que noix Voa...
Who ever you are you on fire
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Godamn... I don't think I would have survived that last part with that trigger happy fool...
much better tas than me :P
I like "TAS" when they get the maximum percentage ^ ^
It is recorded with a utility that they can rewind the recording.. He records till it's perfect then it looks like he's an insane gamer...
you expert and nice game!
yay
like a boss
If I could drink as fast as this person plays this level, I would be fucking hammered by 6:00
Fricking Rickety Race. I finally beat it, and then I messed up my savestate. Now I have to do it and the two levels before it all over again!
That's Earthworm Jim's gun. He used to be really popular back then, which is why Nintendo felt like making a jab at him.
Please, how can I control de "time barrel"? It's much important, without it I can not get succed in level of time 41:00.
44:21 King Zing: You go on ahead, I'll catch up. Naht.
Oh yes indeed. And Mega Man's blaster, cheeky Nintendo :3
ive been playing this game for years still one of my all time favourites but I cant play at this insane speed
Might want to look up what TAS means.
No one can so dont you be dissapointed of you :)
Esse não é normal joga muito

So you pass over Screech and it negates the whole race!?
JagEagleAC3 yes
👏👏👏
TBK t vraiment fort serieu
that stage, start at: 31:24
I'd KILL to have those two, still :D
I feel that this was done specifically to mock me. Particularly the barrel-shooting sections.
1:11:30 I can't get the image of DK beatboxing out of my head.
This is Chuck Norris Longplay :D
anybody know how/why the mouse is a different color at 18:20??
Because BONUSES GIVE THEM BACK.
saudades
