Migu ( / @migu6 )
Adeal ( / @adealtas )
Bobbybob ( / @bobbybobsm64ds )
This is the first Work In Progress video of the 150 star TAS that's been in the works since July 2019, when after many changes that happened to the TAS route, it was discovered that doing Hazy Maze Cave as the first stage was faster than doing Lethal Lava Land. Since then, a lot of route testing was done along with the slow progression of the TAS. The latest major route update was on September 13th of 2020. Here is the TAS route sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
