To pull of the startline glitch I needed to know exactly what was the last known value for the game. I also used TheRedHotBR and Schwooples lua script for the checkpoint system and track progression, but only in one track: Oxide Station. I used most of the time Lapogne36’s scripts which uses a pointer for the values, making it really easy to check stuff while writing the TAS for reference. IGT (In Game Time) is the sum of all the courses times īasically every value as far as I know is dynamically allocated in CTR. I might add this in the future if I find a way to do a proper fds timing estimation. RTA (Real Time Attack) starts when I confirm the selection of choosing Tiny Tiger as a character and the loading screen takes place. TAS timing starts when booting up the game, ends when press start on the Podium after beating Oxide (last input). These are very different between each other.

Skips are allowed, the goal is to beat Oxide as fast as possible and stop him from (u)turning the earth into a Parking Lot. This means that this category does not include the Battle Mode Warp Glitch which jumps to the credits. This is CTR: Crash Team Racing Any% Warpless. NB: Even if for the lua script I had a mask item seed for boss races, the game wouldn’t let me get it, as in boss races you cannot get masks, ctr would just force another item to be picked up.

The result is played back at full speed and often looks like perfect and/or superhuman gameplay. This is achieved by slowing down the game and deciding exactly which buttons are the best to press for each frame.

Most likely if you're wondering why i did something, i explained it in the postĪ TAS, or 'Tool Assisted Speedrun' demonstrates the fastest time that a speedrun could be completed without the usual disadvantages of human reaction times, skill, luck and execution.
