Early TAS run: Linkus gives quick breakdowns of techs and strats, some of which are human-performable Late TAS run: Linkus has multiple breakdowns as every solid surface becomes purely theoretical

As someone who has watched a fair bit of Sunshine speedruns and glitch explanation videos this run is 50% "yeah I know what that is but damn he did it clean" and 50% "what the actual shit is happening right now."

I can hear Panencoek's voice explaining the entirety of Sunshine's speedrun, then ending his explanation by saying "don't blink." And the whole 120 shines are gone.

TerminalMontage is gonna LOVE this speedrun.

Haven’t finished the video yet, but freaking give a raise to the editor. Holy shit this is so clean and nice

I love that the TAS Generates invisible floors when its convenient and ignores walls when they're inconvenient

I love seeing speedrunners react and explain TAS. Yhe bewilderement is sincere, and they often try to analyse precisely what happened, explain, and legitimately try to figure out if this is something they could use later.

Making a 2D TAS is already a huge undertaking. I can’t even fathom how much work it must take for a 3D game, especially one with such complex movement.

It’s Mario time

It's funny when the word "Breakdown" shows up on screen, because we all now that's what this TAS makes Linkus go through. Also, props to the editor, this is a really good video.

I’ve rewatched this TAS so many times. It truly is one of the greatest feats of TAS ever. It is incredible

Zelpikukirby is probably the most helpful person in the sunshine community. They need a lot more recognition for their work over the years. Lots of people have done lots of big things for the game, but continuously over the years zelpiku has contributed so much

I love that the further into the TAS we go, the more annoyed Linkus is

I love TAS flexing instead of just waiting

-How many times would you like to clip in a wall casually? -yes

Bowser JR: Daddy why is Mario here already? Bowser: That junior is what a Speed Demon possession looks like.

This TAS guy is obviously 4 parallel universes ahead of the rest of us.

This game was my childhood and seeing someone speedrun it is so fascinating to me

15:41 Fun Fact: This is also a trick in F-Zero to gain more speed than you could ever get by normal race lines. It is feasible for a human to do in F-Zero though.

To help you define a wall: it's what our collective talent hit watching this TAS

Bowser absolutely shitting his pants on the security cams watching Mario faze through walls, spin through the air, and front flip with a rocket

"What, are they all gonna be perfectly right in front of the basket now too or something?" "Yeah, of course they are. Yeah, OF COURSE." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great job by the editor, analyzing a TAS run can be confusing with the frequent breakdowns, stops, comparisons with casual runs etc, but here that was super clean and understandable

Mario in this TAS: The laws of physics are just a suggestion

Love the casual jackpot on his way into casino secret

new Title: "Mario speedrunner feels like a casual while whatching a TAS" xD

I know how the spider glitch works. The spider on the wall can only be destroyed by yoshi normally, but for some reason hitting your head on the sewer roof changes your hit box into a state where you can hit it without taking damage.

About halfway in and I can't wait to see TAS Corona and TAS Pachinko. Never watched an SMS TAS before. Props also to the editor for making the video so clean!

55:40 " As you can see nothing special here." as he literally teleports through the sand blocks 🤣 but I am glad you were able to explain it because my brain was like YEP of course he can teleport lol

These are just fun to watch happen and hilarious to see Linkus7’s reactions 😂

BTW not mentioned here but to collect the blue coin during gelato skip the TAS does a memory card insert. This is cause the coin prompt would stop the hover unless the card is inserted

Mario may as well be a Boo in Hotel Delfino with how effortlessly he floats through walls and the ceiling.

Great TAS, great explanations (of what you were able to explain), and great editing. Awesome video!

35:46 That comment in your twitch chat, "I can't wait to see how he abuses the sand bird." had me dying dude but true though!! I want to see what happens with the sand bird and the other other comment calling that shine from Noki 6 Choki 6 also had me KEKW'ing that's a good one.

As a casual player this felt like straight up hell and this man shows and does it so fast that it’s hard to understand what he is doing

Thanks you for making this video! I’d love to see more TAS reactions in the future, gained a subscriber

This is a great video. Both the speed run and the reaction to it. What this TAS was able to pull off is absolutely insane.

29:18 Linkus commentating that the TAS is too fast and not catching that TAS gets a perfect gamba spray on the slots

I haven't seen a Linkus video in a bit, thanks algorithm, and I'm so excited to see him looking so healthy!! Keep it up dude, how you ever got through the break down editing is beyond me

Mario speedruns. Where everything is a suggestion including, but not limited to, walls, floors, doors, ceilings, lava, water, time, the fabric of reality and sanity

ive spent like, an hour watching 39 minutes of this video just dying of laughter between the tas and your reactions and its just been fantastic.

This is cool I love watching you explain speedruns and react. you should do it more often a series would be dope

Hi Linkus! That's Clint "walls are a suggestion" TASBot. That's quality!

Been too long since I watched a Linkus video, but I do like some good Mario Sunshine! Always fun to see some new speedrun changes.

Honestly, the fun movement in this game is a huge reason why Sunshine has always been one of my absolute favorite 3D Mario games, if not my #1 fave. This TAS is so friggin' clean, man!

Found my new favorite channel. I’ve found myself recently obsessed with speed runs and came from your TAS twilight princess reaction. Love your videos I just subscribed like 3 seconds ago lol

Great job on the editing ^^

I think seeing him write "TAS" in the goop without us realizing should have been a sign of the insanity to come

"Collision is a suggestion" that's so true with these TAS runs

I really hope we get more speedrun reactions that cause you to have a breakdown like this again

So, usually the only way to kill the yellow spiders is by using Yoshi, but if you "for some reason", go into the sewers and pop back out, even touch a spider, it kills it. Some weird property of going into the sewers, makes mario just..kill them on contact.

Wall: “a continuous vertical brick or stone structure that encloses or divides an area of land. However, for those that are cracked at video games, they are encouraged, but not required”

The peak definition of "don't underestimate my power."

Love Sunshine and really appreciated the breakdowns!

Love these TAS Breackdowns/Reactions

When the description said breakdown, I did not expect it would be Linkus having a breakdown instead of him giving a breakdown of the TAS

I love how the tricks and clips become more insane the further into the movie you get. I imagine since it took so long to make they were incorporating new tech they learned about in "real time".

Yep, it's a TAS. Total Anxiety Speedrun

Love this Tas, it's so insane. Chrism was actually able to breakdown a lot of what happened somehow, but it still doesn't make sense lol

Great video Simply!

Speedrunner stays a long time watching a casual playthrough of Super Mario Sunshine

This was hilarious to watch you attempt to explain this TAS, while being unable to explain it without slowing it down bc that's just how fast TAS be lmaooo I didn't think I would watch the entire hour video until I was mesmerized by the TAS's movements from start to finish. Was crazy to see this TAS defy all rules and logic, and see it tear the most difficult levels to shreds AS IF IT WERE NOTHING. Great entertaining video, loved seeing my childhood game get beaten just like that

Linkus has "THIS MAN CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS" energy all video, and it's amazing.

as someone that casually plays Sunshine often, some of this shit had me ROLLING laughing

It's so satisfying to watch the perfect movement

Wishing you luck in avoiding Nintendos strikes streaks. Love your videos ❤

29:30 has gotta be that the camera hadn't caught up with the block so its collision was still in its default position, and he jumped off it in whatever short time the collision wasn't synced. He probably kept the camera like that just for simplicity, though maybe also for more default positioned-blocks

I couldn't do it! I cracked at "It's AIR!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is a good try not to laugh challenge. Some of the things Linkus says and does are just gold.

i LOVE these kinds of videos

I agree with Linkus' statement "This is too fast." As someone who usually watches videos at 2x speed, I had to watch this at regular speed just to see what the heck is happening.

Linkus being excited for tas is how i feel watching linkus speedrun XD

Very few things are as nice as watching Linkus talk about speedruns

Linkus pogs so hard that I woke up from my nap I started while watching this

10:09:22 "Who is he talking to?" during the fadeout LMAO

i like how this video slowly goes from a explanation to an explanatioff

This is probably my favorite way to watch a TAS.

I love how Linkus legitimately made the "amphibian" "Reptile" joke by sheer accident.

On the giant mushroom level I've accidentally clipped out and landed on the surface at the bottom of the pit. From there I could walk around and saw the fairgrounds in the distance above me

TAS Sunshine has a terrifying aura around it...

That's incredible

I've never played mario 64 I loved sunshine though so seeing a tas speedrun is blowing me away the yoshi carousel stage was pure insanity

Hahah, this is awesome, seeing my childhood game being broken like this is hilarious

Absolutely insane 😂 hard to believe even with a TAS somebody had the patience to perfect run Sunshine lol Its also funny to me how Ive gone from watching/trying HALO tas runs to watching this kind of thing 😂

Im just gonna say i rolled my eyes about as much as Linkus

At 25:21 I think that since Yoshi ate the fruit his tongue was still over the pipe by the time he reached it's side which confused the game into believing he was on the pipe thus allowing him inside a few frames earlier. At 29:35 at the ledge of that platform in JP Sunshine there is an extra piece of collision which they used to save time and keep their speed for longer. For the trick at 14:17 RasmusSW said it himself at 42:12 what you might not know is the trick was orginally found by the same JP player who founded the banana 3rd balcony glitch. Yes the whole getting the banana on the top balcony in the hotel was done orginally by a human being and was extremely hard as unlike TAS guy who slowed the game down enough to have the banana barely be always in sight. The orginal guy had to just guess. As the trick requires you to spray it out of the fruit stand then start spin jumping while spraying the banana all the way to the second balcony jump. If done right then on the second balcony jump when you do it as spin spray jump the water will give it enough force to push it on top. Then, you have to perfectly do the final jump normally so the banana doesn't despawn. However if done wrong the banana can go over the glass meaning you have to restart. The trick and the guys other few tricks such as the one the blue coin TAS collector speedrunner guy did at 14:17 and the trick he did with the lava in the beginning of the run made it into a Japanese Nintendo magazine under the speedrun section for sunshine. The dudes fingers almost got arthritis from the hotel banana trick so he said it should just remain a TAS trick, and so it has. You were right about the nosel foward boost trick. It was discovered by another runner on the JP side. The trick done at 44:45 was also discovered by someone else from that side using the nosel trick to reach the secret area fast so they could skip the obstacles and swimming. The collecting the blue coins however is totally just the TAS runner being the Blue coin TAS guy lmao The balloon trick at 52:41 is actually done by breaking balloons that aren't even spawned in yet. As a European player, it was discovered that just like squid race, there are triggers. However, the triggers are the spot of the balloons in the further hills that aren't spawned yet. So you destroy the first balloons and shoot the other rockets at the direction of the unspawmed balloons and the destroy the other spawned balloons and with luck the triggers should hit as you destroy the other balloons in vision, thus ending the mini game and getting you the star. It's totally luck that you get the right angle for the triggers being hit, but since he's playing with TAS, he got them first try. The using tbe nosel to descend faster in the seal arena was also discovered by Europeans and does, save a few frames like you guessed. The trick at 53:34 abuses the fact that every 100 coin star has a secret activation spot under each map. However, that map is the only one that can be stood in front of. So he broke the box, then side jumped to grab the nosel and land inside the box as it spawned and immediately held back on the stick while nosel hovering about 5 frames after he was pushed under the map by the block so he could land in front of the trigger for the 100 star and spray it, foring the star to spawn. For 58:18 in the JP Sunshine the green wigglers hit box extends at spot Mario was standing, this was fixed in the American and European versions. For 58:41 in JP Sunshine the animation your talking about doesn't exist it was only created for the international American, European releases. So in JP that's how the mission is usually completed. For 59:52 in JP Sunshine you can stop yourself from falling off slopes by going into first person zoom and moving Mario away from the cliff allowing you to just walk back up. For 1:00:12 in JP Sunshine for some reason there is a single spot up there where the water extends hitting it saves time but requires extreme luck with TAS. For 1:00:44 you are right on how the glitch works with nosel underwater works. He basically combined it with the fact that in JP Sunshine there is a single frame of that rock that needs to be hit at a certain angle that will deactivate the water physics for Mario as long as he's in range of the rock for a short time. However when done with the nosel he uses the effect will remain until he leaves the raidus of the rock which extends pretty far. For 1:03:44 in JP Sunshine there are specific spots on every floor that have collision gaps letting you pass through them. In the American and European version the gaps were made smaller and the bathroom spot was sealed with collision. For 1:05:18 in JP Sunshine a specific spot on that building has wonky collision that when you let Mario fall on he will be pushed inside a invisible cube and pushed out of it letting you clip inside the building. For 1:05:28 there's a specific spot in the water there that has an entrance underground in JP and European Sunshine. For 1:07:05 in JP and I think European Sunshine that specific patch of lava isn't actually lava so you can just fall there and go underneath everything as seen afterwards. For 1:07:14 in JP Sunshine rocket storge combined with slopes always gives you an insane height boost. For 1:07:45 when the platform breaks the broken parts count as slopes which he's using with rocket storge and canceling with a spin jump to propel himself foward then do another foward rocket boost to get to the next platform.

42:24 bro I genuinly thought that Kaheres guy in chat said "Y stored stands for YEET" and laughed and when I realized my brain just made that up I laughed even harder. The internet was a mistake lol.

I just played this game for the first time a few weeks ago. I clipped OOB at least 5 times by accident during my playthrough. I'm glad the bad collision detection has been abused to its fullest extent.

We just watched over an hour’s worth of destroying my childhood to perfection

My favorite part of watching these TAS reaction videos is when Linkus assumes that he knows what tricks the TAS is about to do and starts explaining them, only to be left absolutely speechless when the TAS does a completely different strategy even faster than the normal strat would be lol

Best thing about this is I knew most of the major tricks already. Shoutout to AverageTrey one of the best 120 shines runners out there, he explains a lot of things for sunshine on his YT. Also great Video even though we could see you visibly age during some of these tricks lol.

I'm gonna sound like an echo here, but damn the edits in this video were amazing!

Screenshot anything after 30 minutes for an amazing Confused Linkus photo.

i remember doing this when i was younger, good memories :)

Me during the entire video: Linkus I need to blink

My eyes were literally so dry cuz I wasn't blinking, I had to press pause to blink 😂

This was a sick first impresion of mario sunshine

This TAS is the product of what happens when one is possessed by the DEMON that is Speedrunner Mario.

The clipping under the lava bit reminds me of the Ed Edd & Eddy episode where Ed goes "Look I'm smarter than a sign!" And rips the edge of the grass up and crawls under the turf and pops up through it with a "boing!"

I love how half of this is Linkus in shock and the other half is explanations
