Submission: http://tasvideos.org/2976S.html

This run was built in less than a week and is mainly made from hex editing. I asked some SM64 TASers if they would let me use their optimized single star runs and they gladly accepted, which led to this masterpiece. I really hope you enjoy this run!

This run is an improvement of 2 minutes and 58 seconds to the first "16 stars" TAS by Spezzafer and an improvement of 30.6 seconds to the last "16 stars" TAS made by DennisBalow and ReneBalow.

Eru:

He did Boil the Big Bully (which was a pain to hex, along with Watch for Rolling Rocks).

Mickey/VIS:

He did Bowser in the Dark World Red Coins, 8Coin Puzzle with 15 Pieces, Watch for Rolling Rocks and Bowser in the Sky entry. Huge thanks to him, since I was struggling with that last part.

snark:

He did HotFootIt into the Volcano, Shining Atop the Pyramid and Inside the Ancient Pyramid.

The "0 stars" team:

They let me use their Lakitu skip, Bowser in the Dark World entry, Bowser in the Fire Sea and Bowser in the Sky.

The Japanese SM64 community:

They did Fall onto the Caged Island and Shoot into the Wild Blue.

Special thanks to:

He supported me and helped hexing the rerecords.

Efrain and Jesus:

They let me take a look at their "16 stars" WIP which helped me saving 1 frame from the second key door to Shifting Sand Land.

DennisBalow and ReneBalow:

Their "16 stars" TAS helped me for comparison.
