Previous Record by Wax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9TRGqD4F9M
A cool 2.3769 s save over the previous record!

Decent, some turns could be optimized and unfortunate Off Road mistake at 48 s (Igt). Maybe a better path could be found.</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/050fe6ee-cf02-4421-9054-3cfe382ce300</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/1PdA5UoNyKjrNxmYRA2teb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/0697b6f0-ef09-4018-9247-8515be37beb0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Issue in 1.2 RC</video:title><video:description>Issue in 1.2 RC</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/0697b6f0-ef09-4018-9247-8515be37beb0</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/6rAAuhwBx3FipdAPDWFSsS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/2c109b74-0323-4d4e-8fb0-15f1b32b5d76.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.0 TAS - Snow Peak in 1:18.8066</video:title><video:description>The most run 1.x Track in less than 80 s!

Record at the video's publication: 1:22.321 by Wax - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnQxN3wSHks
A neat 3.514 s was saved over the record.

I thought that the Jump Shortcuts were useless as I never had success using them in the past... But at least in TAS, they save time. If done properly, the first Jump should save about 0.1 s and the second 0.2-0.3 s, though the former cannot be done (without losing time) in Lap 1 as Nitro is needed. In Real Time, they would be really hard to do in a way that actually saves time, but now that some did the Volcan Island and Gran Paradiso Island ones, I am waiting for the Speedrunners to try Sub 1:21 😈 ! And Mimiz could use this Online Lol

With some angles, you can skid along the Wall without losing speed, so we can actually skid at the left of the Banana, which should save a few 1/100 s...
I am also getting the Red Skid Bonus here, if you have really fast reflexes it should be possible to get it in Non TAS and save a few 1/10 s.

There might be a faster route for Sub 1:18, but this one seems pretty solid to me.

Compared to the previous run, it only uses the second jump from the TAS, which is actually not too hard. For Sub 1:21, the other jump and the Red Skid should be needed. Sub 1:20 Non Tas might be possible, but this should be as hard as Omc Sub 58 s (in other words, devilishly hard)...

Previous record: 1:22.321 by Wax - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnQxN3wSHks
0.435 s was saved. As the jump should save 0.2-0.3 s each time, this new run is actually less optimized.
It is still 3.0797 s behind the TAS. https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/watch/2c109b74-0323-4d4e-8fb0-15f1b32b5d76 / https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/d72aed7d-942c-45c3-b414-b640a2669171

Record at the video's publication: 1:38.675 by Wax - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/run/yj6o2doz
A neat 2.946 s was saved over the record.

Despite having only 2 Checklines, there does not seem to be a way to do any large skip. The notable changes from the Non Tas run are the following. I start Skidding before the first Ramp to get the Red Bonus, which should save about 0.1 s per Lap. I also do a similar thing at the second Ramp, and in addition I use a physics exploit that both gives a shorter trajectory and reduces the air time; all this save a few 1/10 s per Lap. The very last Nitro is discarded in Lap 3, at this point you have enough Nitro left until the end.

For Sub 1:35 there might be better ways to use Nitro, also maybe some could be skipped to turn sharper, I did not try this.
For Non Tas, Sub 1:38 could be made easier with the Red Skid strategies. Sub 1:37 might be humanly possible but hats off if you manage this...</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/afcdddaf-0271-47a2-bca3-38bde7f7c003</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/1oMjbGHHALNs8U6WYdWCGT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/032e49d4-1ad1-4796-a7a2-b1c123be8683.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.0 TAS - Minigolf in 1:11.2667</video:title><video:description>A pigeon would burn instantly in the Devil's Minigolf, but not a Cyber Squirrel!

Non TAS Record at the video's publication: 1:20.450 by Wax - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/run/zgv2l50z
The TAS is 9.183 s faster as there are insane TAS Only Exploits in this track.
Previous TAS: 1:15.9917 by myself - https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/watch/b284e433-b505-4c81-ba65-0152cc6bb5e7
A massive 4.725 s was saved!

I wanted to redo this one since long, as I was unsatisfied with the optimization and choices (also, to have a Full Hd video with proper sounds). For several reasons I thought that the Bounce Skip in Lap 2 was slower than the Tunnel Skip, so I was going to do the it three times. However, it turned out that it is actually faster to bounce.

But that does not matter anymore as while doing that Skip, I accidentally found a much better one. For some reason, when you get the Skidding Bonus in the air at some places, the kart gains a lot of speed and flies very far. Actually, I already exploited such bug in the previous TAS, but I never thought that it could make the kart fly that way (at least, without Zipper). This allows to skip the sharp section faster and for all the laps, but this trick is by far TAS Only as it requires land at a very specific point while Skidding, and get a Skid Bonus at the Tick you land on the point.
Btw I really wonder what causes that bug...

The other Skip was already used on the previous TAS. As a reminder, it is a better version of the well known one used on Non Tas Runs, that cuts much more and avoids the Off Road, but is Frame Perfect.

This track is really infamous... As a speedrunner I thrown away so many Story Mode runs because of that track, and it is also very hard to TAS. The Mod shows how I see this track Lol
You might think that the tools allows to fine tune and do the skips very easily, but in practice they behave erratically...</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/032e49d4-1ad1-4796-a7a2-b1c123be8683</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/jpPBJS4KkoqQeYH3DzLiVu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/9517f275-c50d-455b-9e6f-d3ae21a8fe92.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SuperTuxKart

18.950/17.325/17.050/17.142 - 1:10.463 (8456 Ticks/1:10.467 at Finish)
Previous record: 1:12.711 by SkindoorMimiz - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/run/y47l61ny
A neat 2.248 s was saved. This track would be very interesting to Tas.

Compared to the previous run, I am using a Lightweight rather than a Middleweight, they seem to be faster here.
I use the Zipper much earlier, to enjoy the boost for a much longer time. The first Nitro then becomes harder to get, though this can still be done fairly consistently.
For the jump, I do it in another way, that is much more consistent, but unfortunately skips the second Nitro. It is definitively possible to do 4 jumps taking the Nitro without Tas, but I was never able to do it more than twice so far so I gave up. In another hand, I tend to land much better with my strategy, so it might compensate the Nitro.
I missed a Yellow Skid in Lap 3, which does not seem to have much influence as this was also the fastest Lap...
I did the jump in the last Lap as well, which was not done in the other run. The normal route is about 0.7 s longer.
How do I know where the Checkline is without a Ghost nor any cheat? I look at the dark grey floor, the Checkline is located at the beginning of three dark parallel lines that are easy to spot while running - I call them the « Claws » :p . While the Ghost usage was smart, it is not allowed. In this situation, runners are expected find and use a landmark like the Claws.

This is the only complete run with this strategy I did, and I am not really motivated to improve it given how difficult it is to do the jumps. I got a good Sub 19 time in Lap 1, and just a little above 17 for the rest, which is satisfying for me. With a bit more luck, I could have done Sub 1:10. The best first Lap I did was around 18.80, and I did once a 16.783 Lap.

Probably it is not even better than the previous run, but I did not choke this time so here is Sub 1:01. I will try to grind some more another day for Sub 1', but before that I will run some more tracks.

11.583/9.933/9.8/9.833/9.892/9.875
A 0.444 s improvement over my previous run, https://www.speedrun.com/stk/run/m378x94z

Really like Sophia, and a cute girl in a Heavy Kart was what Stk needed! I might come out of retirement, though I don't plan to rival Theodore Pringle...

Congrats on your first run, Sophia :D !

Andet's runs were already pretty solid at the time. Maybe I will improve this if I ever make runs for the 21 Standard Tracks and do Sub 1:34, either with a recent version or the older one. Not sure how much you save by driving over the rock, it is not longer possible to do that and I am curious to estimate what would be the pre 1.3 equivalent time for this run. But since I don't aim for 1st place, I don't mind being handicapped here and lose a few 1/10 s, and it is also interesting to have a run from these newer versions, though they should not have done this change at the first place...

Using the 3 Red Skids in a row rather than Red-Yellow-Red Strategy firstly used and documented by Alayan, I can confirm that it definitively helps if done properly.

32.6/30.883/31.234
Missed the very last Red Skid, though it should not impact much. The Lap 3 was less good anyway overall.
Note that the Yellow Skid Bonus is optional after the first Red Skid, if you don't do it, there is no consequence as the Red one is still active long enough, so it is really just an aesthetic strategy.</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/a5b7bbf4-fc03-43f6-86ec-0821a4601a6d</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/aGmf5SfAmYuVjfxyneDh4B</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/e1f74bb7-eff0-4ad0-b45d-82224e36e9ce.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.0 TAS - Nessie's Pond in 1:28.3083</video:title><video:description>After doing a run for this track, let's Tas it! Enjoy :D !

It comes with new Skip, though some Speedrunners already expected it to exist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkOSXJh3bCA). It requires a different strategy, with the Zipper at a completely different place, and is probably as difficult to do as the Volcan Island one, but certainly not as hard as the Minigolf Tas Skip. So I feel that it is possible to use it in Non Tas Runs if you have the persistence of a certain Champion :p
But it should not be doable on newer 1.3+ versions.

In addition, it is actually possible to do a Red Skid at the end of a Lap/start of the next one just before the first Nitro, so one could do 4 Red Skids in a row if not doing the Hill Skip.

30.883/28.800/28.625 - 1:28.3083 (10597 Ticks/1:28.308 at Finish)
Non Tas Record at this video's publication: 1:32.958 by Theodore Pringle - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/run/zn0p429y
A massive 4.65 s was saved over the Non Tas Record!

Since the strategy changed a lot, not really sure how much exactly the Skip itself saves, certainly something in the 0.5-1 s per lap range (the Red Skids will save a lot too compared to the Non Tas record).
I did not optimize much this Tas, 0.5 s should be easily saved, and there may be a way to do the Skip much more efficiently and save several s... It could to be possible to land directly on the Ground Zipper without doing it on the Hill first, but I did not manage to do it, and good luck landing with the right angle...

I planned to write some new tools but decided to not do it and Tas the remaining tracks with the current tools, I think I will wait for 2.x for more serious Tasing...</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/4e84794c-91fa-46e6-87ab-2b33d2bcce49</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/rW6jSfvj6W8VLPoYHK4X2Q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/16b874c5-f982-4f55-ac06-39feb1f97da7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.0 TAS - XR591 in 1:34.3322</video:title><video:description>Reupload of an old TAS since the other PeerTube instance died...

It is not possible to do the shortcut discovered in the TAS at all on recent versions of Stk, though it was probably too difficult anyway to actually save time without TAS.

========== Description from 2020

Enjoy :D !

With a new shortcut, presumably TAS Only. I don't think that this is exploitable with a Middleweight. I did not do the normal route to compare formally, but I think that this shortcut saves about 0.3 s each time...
I conjecture that Lightweights are faster than Middleweights thanks to this shortcut (but slower otherwise)...
Else, the rest is similar to the Real Time record.

31.533/31.458/31.342 - 1:34.3322 (11320 Ticks/1:34.333 at Finish)
As said at some point, I am only doing the 1.0 tracks. Real Time Record for 1.0 at this video's publication: 1:36.915 by Theodore Pringle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz49t8QuESY
2.583 s were saved. TAS Sub 1:34 1.0 is certainly possible, not so sure about Sub 1:33.
In 1.1, there is a Checkline change that makes this track a bit shorter to run. Record here is 1:35.766, again by Theodore Pringle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLQBi9S5Ow0
Humanly, probably Sub 1:35 1.1 is doable (but very hard), looks like 1:34.5 is the limit...
Again, these statements are considering the current Stk knowledge...</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/d201e972-627f-4e4b-bbdb-ad83890f81ee</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/pWhz53rNh8bSs7k5KeA4D8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/1c8fff29-276d-421f-8cf3-5ad7f7953070.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.0 TAS - STK Enterprise in 1:46.092</video:title><video:description>Reupload of an old TAS since the other PeerTube instance died...

========== Description from 2020

7.8/10 Too Much Nitro :p ! Enjoy :D !
Finally! It is only now that I found some time for TASing!

The main difference is the Zipper usage and Skidding at the end. Otherwise the existing strategy is pretty good.
There is one TAS only trick, which allows to take a much sharper (for a small speed decrease) turn before the Ramp, by Frame Perfectly hitting the "wall". However, that saves only a few Ticks (0.03-0.04 s, though that still makes ~0.1 s for 3 Laps).

37.433/34.625/34.033 - 1:46.092 (12731 Ticks/1:44.717 at Finish)
Real Time Record at this video's publication: 1:47.989 by Andet - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyc0lAKpR_c
1.897 s were saved. I don't see how Sub 1:45 is possible with the current Stk knowledge. Sub 1:47 would be humanly doable but really hard.
As usual, Lap 1 is a bit less optimized than others.

Note that I am going to stick to 1.0 despite the 1.1 release (which in particular will have effect to Xr591).</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/c1d69082-49f9-4e56-a696-9e2fa12aa755</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/dcTUEGk3P8WCrK8MbsJPZd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/150d868d-0795-4a63-94dd-089b50799fea.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.0 TAS - Black Forest in 2:06.872</video:title><video:description>STK 1.0 TAS - Black Forest in 2:06.872

The longest Stk 1.0 IL TASed, Enjoy :D !
Only music this time, my computer cannot do 120 Fps for Black Forest, even in Level 1 Graphics...

1:04.325/1:02.550 - 2:06.872 (15225 Ticks/2:06.875 at Finish)
Wr at this video's publication: 2:13.613 by Theodore Pringle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtxerFPCXzM

This is one of the hardest Stk tracks, and being the longest, it benefits a lot from TAS. Also thanks to some TAS tricks, a nice 6.741 s was saved over the real time run.
Stupid error, in Lap 1, I did not notice that one Tick was missing for the Skid at the exit of the tunnel, and fixed it for Lap 2... TASes are still performed by humans after all (if we actually were in 21XX, there would probably be Ai algorithms for this Lol).
Similarly to the Volcano Island, the Zipper should be used at the late area where there is a slight slowdown (and I am also burning Nitro there too).
In TAS, we are of course taking the last Big Nitro, just not in an human way.
And there is a Frame Perfect skip that saves about 0.3-0.5 s after the two first Nitros. Note that we can also cut at the left of the second Checkline, but missing the 2 Nitros and being slowed down by the landing make this strategy ineffective.
I feel that Human Sub 2:10 is possible, maybe this TAS can give some ideas to runners. Sub 2:06 TAS should be doable, not sure about Sub 2:05, at least with current Stk knowledge.

For some reason, a Yellow Skid Bonus following a Red one can make the speed go over 137.7 km/h (which is otherwise top speed for Nitro + Red Skid)... Looks like something is broken in the "don't override Reds with Yellows" code :p Speaking about boosts, the entire bonus mechanics should really be simplified for 2.0, they should just make the different boosts completely independent each other... Isn't Stk supposed to be a simple game :p ...</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/62d6d5b9-b767-4fb0-828d-e4f274ced4c2</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/xAzfNNLTB4QjAkc116SRK6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/ead29d2e-8abd-4100-bf7c-fd06e68c29d7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.0 TAS - Cocoa Temple in 1:24.8900</video:title><video:description>Reupload of an old TAS since the other PeerTube instance died...

It's a ghost because when i want live record my screen lag and so it's difficult to do a good run.Thanks for watching !!!</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/89ce8fe7-6d89-468f-848d-c520a0a6f4c7</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/c6Dew5ktQJHNEkTmFAkXZd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/86a75b53-b9ed-4429-86e5-3fb30f68ecb9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>The7000k: STK 1.4 - Nessie's Pond in 1:32.283</video:title><video:description>New Nessie's Pond Record by The7000k. https://www.speedrun.com/stk/runs/zgln32vm

Here's my new world record! I'd been working on it for a while and I started again a few days ago and I still had it in my hands. And when I did it again on the day I submitted it, I managed to do it even better! I think that of the three WRs I've posted here, this is the one I'm most proud of, because I think it's the cleanest and most optimized (go figure, I've saved almost a second on the previous WR). But without trolli I could never have done it, thanks to his new strategy. So thank you trolli! Speaking of strategy, I don't know what I did better than make it cleaner. Maybe Trolli will tell you in the comments. Thanks for watching and maybe see you again!</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/37e37706-e9d4-4e88-b869-297c6becb775</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/1uyKNfPiYYoRaCordY7XHB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/d66384df-f958-4012-ba51-90c69255bde6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.4 TAS - Oliver's Math Class in 56.859</video:title><video:description>So I am back making some STK TASes after a long break... Nothing innovative in this TAS, let's say it is more like some warming up before making more TASes, and at the same time we can finally have the TAS better then Non TAS again...
It is basically a more optimized version of my previous one. Laps 1 and 2 were pretty bad and about a 1/10 s was saved here for each. I could squeeze a few 1/100 s more out of the other Laps.

11.008/9.183/9.2/9.225/9.142/9.1 - 56.859 (6823 Ticks, In Game Time 56.816875, need to add 1/24 s due to a glitch)

Previous Oliver's Math Class TAS: 57.1617 - https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/8gZVs1gt3NbMaWUZt2cig7
Non TAS Record at the video's publication: 57.125 by Theodore Pringle - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/runs/mk7olq1y
0.303 s (37 Ticks) was saved over the previous TAS, and 0.266 s over the current Non TAS record.

The Strategy is a bit different as the Non TAS Run, look at the previous TAS for details. The section where the Zipper wears out is difficult to optimize, but I don't see how we could take a sharper curve without actually losing time, I tried things like using the Zipper earlier (which helped taking sharper turns, but actually ended up worse in terms of times).
Both Strategies appear to be pretty similar for the total time. I might lose 0.1 s in Lap 1 but I get this back by affording to skip some Nitro.

I tried to TAS Lap 1 the way he did and was not even able to do Sub 10.9 so his Run is insanely optimized. As he did 9.24 as best Lap for 2 to 5, I think that I would barely be able to do 9.20 if I TASed these ones. For the last Lap which was 9.16, I think that I would have trouble doing less than 9.13 or so.
So, if I TASed with his Strategy, I would obtain a similar time as the present TAS, about 56.8-56.9.
That being said, I feel that there is more potential for improvements in my strategy.

By the way, as it was requested, I made a Guide explaining how to TAS the game, take a look if you are interested!...</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/03fd02f9-e783-4901-8b5e-ead23d9c7d59</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/fEQD7592XqhxPtyPbMrMSU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/7c28358a-1575-40b4-9946-8b50fbda6201.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.4 TAS - Candela City in 1:20.946</video:title><video:description>Let's now do a TAS of a new Track after such a long break! It turned out to be much more interesting to TAS than I thought... Enjoy :D !

28.042/26.483/26.425 - 1:20.946 (9714 Ticks, In Game Time 80.946373)

Non TAS Record at the video's publication: 1:22.936 by Trolli123 - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/runs/m3k0g4qy
A nice 1.99 s was saved over the current Non TAS Record!

The Strategy was initially based on Trolli's Run, though it was improved as I TASed and crashed while testing Input combinations. I think that most improvements are TAS Only.

Firstly you can squeeze a Yellow Skid just before the second Nitro, and then follow it with a Red. I don't think that it is possible to do this correctly without TAS.

It is possible to drive a bit over the Sidewalks without losing speed, which is exploited in several curves, especially the first one where we can do a small cut saving about 1/10 s every Lap. This is Frame Perfect and should not be doable without TAS as well.
In Lap 3, you can also see that I drove over the "Sidewalks" just after the second Nitro. Unfortunately, I did not realize that it was also possible here until the last Lap so it was not done in Laps 1 and 2, and I did not want to redo the whole thing... This appears to save about 5/100 s per Lap.

The most interesting trick is certainly the small Shortcut just after the third Nitro where I cut the corner. It was pretty forgiving in TAS so while I never tried to do it in Non TAS, I feel that it might be something exploitable for Runs without TAS. It saves about 0.5 s each Lap.

Overall, about 1/10 s can be easily saved by driving over the "Sidewalks" just after the second Nitro. Certainly a few 1/100 s could be saved here and there by optimizing curves and all. Otherwise I think that it is fairly solid, I don't think that Sub 1:20 is possible, 1:20.5 may still be doable but I don't think that I would even manage it with my current knowledge of the Track and the Game.

Here is another WR. I like the fact to work on "official" addons tracks (those of the SuperTuxkart addons mod made by Fouks) while other famous speedrunners beat them on standard ones. For me that increases the quality of the game. But anyway. I find my run pretty good although it's possible to make a better one. I think I made a good start for any further optimizations of the track if they come one day.

30.258/28.083/27.642 - 1:25.983 (10319 Ticks, In Game Time 85.941757, need to add 1/24 s due to a glitch)

Non TAS Record at the video's publication: 1:30.024 by Wax - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/runs/m7w719ez
A nice 1.162 s (139 Ticks) was saved over the previous TAS, and it is faster than the current Non TAS record by a massive 4.041 s!

The new TAS has much better turns, in particular after the Zipper where the Skidding choices were bad. The Braking is better done at the Ramp, saving about a 1/10 s each Lap. Finally, it turns out that getting the Big Nitro at the Ramp makes it better to not take the other one and turn much sharper instead.

Sub 1:26 was achieved as theorized 5 years ago :D ! As always a few 1/100 s could be saved here and there, but otherwise the TAS seems pretty solid now.

Notably due to some annoying Physics in the Pyramid making the Kart easily fly for some reason. It is one of the simplest Tracks for Casuals, but for top level Speedrunning it can be a pain, even in TAS! Anyway, Enjoy :D !

32.8/30.467/29.8 - 1:33.067 (11168 Ticks, In Game Time 93.066597 s)

Non TAS Record at the video's publication: 1:34.353 by Theodore Pringle - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/runs/y8jek1wz
1.286 s was saved with TAS.

First Lap is done almost in the same way as the Non TAS Record, until the end where I don't use the Zipper again, and continue Laps 2 and 3 with the same Strategy, while Theodore decided to use a Zipper here, presumably to make it easier to get the Red Skid or connect the subsequent Skids.

Without the Zipper, I am forced to Skid for about 1 s longer than the minimum for the Red (3 s) just after the Bridge in Laps 2 and 3, so I am losing some Speed as the previous Skid wears off. Still, I think that this Strategy is better in TAS because the higher Speed as you enter the Pyramid thanks to the Zipper makes the Kart jump farther, and we exploit the fact that Karts conserve boosts while they fly despite them possibly being wearing off. Hard to say if it can practically be done this way without TAS for all 3 Laps.

Ending Lap 3 with a Red Skid should be faster than 2 Yellows (as long as you can release it early enough), and it is worth it to take the 2 Nitros instead of turning sharper.

I tried to do Lap 2 in his way but after some prototyping don't think that I would obtain a better time. Considering that I am saving only almost 1.3 s overall, with TAS optimized turns, Skids, and especially jumps, it shows that his run is very solid.

Sub 1:33 would be a formality, though I would have to redo the TAS or a good chunk of it, not going to happen for now Lol. Maybe the Skids could be better spread in Laps 2 and 3 and the Pyramid entrances could maybe be further optimized to save ...</video:description><video:player_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/videos/embed/98dad2fb-2472-4fc5-9e2c-2d5d189a45a1</video:player_loc></video:video></url><url><loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/pwE96PiBGLidgrLwfttTDR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://videos.supertuxkart.net/static/thumbnails/50907bcd-fd63-455a-aba7-ae3aa21f86be.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STK 1.0 TAS - Gran Paradiso Island in 1:39.1878</video:title><video:description>Totally overlooked this one Lol.

Non TAS Record at the video's publication: 1:26.972 by DD Nahiru - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/runs/zn9459vy
0.793 s was saved over the current Non TAS Record.

Well, this might be an underwhelming one this time... I did spend lots of time to imagine and try some better Strats like doing some Red Skids or even some Bouncing Skips, but none of them were viable, and the existing Strategy for the Record is already optimal. So, the TAS just optimizes it.

Two players grinded it a lot lately, so there is not much room left and not even a s was saved. I was hoping for a Sub 1:26 but could not achieve it even though I did optimize this TAS more than usual. There is just less than 0.05 s to save per Lap for the Sub, but with my current knowledge, I would struggle to even save 0.02 s per Lap... I even tried Pidgin, but after a Lap, it only supported my impression that the different Karts are in practice equivalent.

Let's TAS it, Enjoy :D !

19.467/18.008/18.025/17.883 - 1:13.384 (8807 Ticks, In Game Time 73.341850 s, need to add 1/24 s due to a glitch)

Non TAS Record at the video's publication: 1:14.508 by Theodore Pringle - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/runs/z0rn304z
1.124 s was saved

Theodore quite optimized it already so I could not save much more than a s. The Strategy is basically the same, with the following small changes.

Firstly, we can cut a larger chunk of the Grass at the very beginning due to the Start Boost, which was not done in his Run, and is basically a free 0.05 s gift from The Master.

A Yellow Skid before the Cut in Lap 1 was then performed. It would likely be very hard without TAS, but it appears to save about 0.05 s as well. In subsequent Laps, a Red Skid is still in effect at this point, making this Strat counterproductive there.

Finally, the fact that Nitro cancels the Off Road Slowdown for a few Ticks immediately after triggering it was exploited so that is why I am using Nitro twice around the Cut. So, I can turn a bit sharper where there is the Grass at the left which would have slowed the Kart down for a few Ticks or so without the Nitro (instead there is no Slow Down), and stop the slowing down a bit earlier at the end of the Cut. I suppose it all this saves a few 1/100 s overall... The Off Road slows down the Kart by about 0.6-1.3 km/h each Tick...

I think that I optimized it well, but hard to say for this Track, especially at the Cut... It is also difficult to optimize the turn in the Cave. But I don't think that Sub 1:13 is possible unless some better Strategy or Shortcut is somehow discovered... Sub 1:14 should be doable without TAS but very hard.

Basically, this TAS addresses issues from the previous one, nothing really new, though it concretizes the theorized Sub 1:40. I am not using Godette here because the Kart Hitbox made the Bounce much harder to perform, though I was hoping, that maybe somehow the different Hitbox could in contrary help.

54.892/44.900 - 1:39.792 (11975 Ticks, In Game Time 99.750084 s, need to add 1/24 s due to a glitch)
Non TAS Record at the video's publication: 1:41.350 by Theodore Pringle - https://www.speedrun.com/stk/runs/m77ngv0m
Previous TAS: 1:41.530 by myself - https://videos.supertuxkart.net/w/9PJu3k1Eky2Zjub3UW4M1M
A nice 1.558 s was saved over non TAS and 1.738 s over the previous TAS.

Tasing this Track had a history of summoning Theodore Pringle Loblaw from the Dead as he found every time a way to beat the TAS Lol. He managed to beat the previous one mainly by bouncing at the Tunnel in a much better way as I did not think that it would be possible to activate the Checkline without almost completely stopping.

But the TAS should now be very solid. Maybe a few 1/100 s could be saved with micro optimizations overall (better curves, etc). There may be better ways to perform the Jumps but I searched a lot and my hypothesis would be that the constraints from the Rescue Trigger and not landing too far right are so tight that there would not and it is basically either you manage to do the Jump or you don't... So I don't see how we could even do Sub 1:39.5.

His Bounce at the Tunnel was so nice that honestly I even started to doubt I would even do it better in TAS... But after many tries I found a better Bounce that preserves more Speed and is faster despite landing farther.
His Lap 2 Jump was really good too, I barely do better in the TAS.

Non TAS Sub 1:41 would be possible if the Lap 1 Jump was done as well as in Lap 2 and with a few optimizations.
