This is what I've been working on for the majority of my Spring Break.
Recently, the SM64 TASing community started work on an improved version of the 1 Star BLJLess TAS made in 2015. Numerous things were found, including a new strat to enter Bowser in The Dark World (Saving several seconds) and a new strat to get past the 30 Star Door (Saving over a minute).
Using my experience in making the Falcon 64 1 Star BLJLess TAS, I did some work to improve the upstairs movement section, which skips the 50 Star Door, 70 Star Door, and the endless stairs. After two do-overs to increase optimization and help from another TASer to make the ending one frame faster, this is the result. It beats the old attempt in the 2015 version by over 5 and a half seconds, skipping the necessary doors and stairs as efficiently as possible.
The endless stairs were a notable nightmare to efficiently pass, thanks to numerous things. Having the necessary speed to skip past the stair's warp function isn't enough; Mario's position is also crucial. The warp occurs at Z = 902, and Mario's position needs to be between 906 and 903 at the speeds he's going at here to bypass it. The problem is that the stairs themselves limit how precise Mario's position can be while landing, making this even more of a chore.
If my speed value at the endless stairs were 0.04 units per second slower, it would be too low to skip the stairs. That's how precise this is.

-8f from several things (Bruteforced flying, different movement at the highest cloud), still heavily improvable with a better bruteforcer (AlexPalix please help me); I uploaded this as it is to get the ball rolling so others can hop on the train.
Sm64's inputs were unchanged from the start all the way to the initial flight.

Timing starts at selecting "Yes" at exiting the Character Edit menu, and ends when the screen fully fades to black after victory.
So, Bakugan. This was the hot stuff when I was in elementary school, and my sister and I played the DS version a bunch. But since a TAS of the DS version already exists (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weKVcxqCv1I), I figured that I could try doing something with the Wii version.
As it turns out, the Wii version is much less suited for TASing thanks to Critical KOs not being present (As far as I'm aware), the battles themselves being 10 to 20 second autoscrollers, and larger downtime in general in comparison to the DS version. At least I saved 33 seconds over the RTA record, through a mix of RNG manipulation (In getting a 10-second fight instead of a 20) and actual technique (As manipulating the Bakugan right before it touches the ground allows it to Stand even if it's moving really fast). I'm probably not going to continue this, but I figured that I would upload something about it.

This is the final result of a project that has cumulatively taken over five months of work.
This is New Game Plus Debug%.
No cutscenes to skip, no characters to unlock, no extras involved. The only requirement is to beat all of the levels with any methods possible (Except hard-cheating to the end).
To ease the amount I have to type into this description, I made a glossary with some definitions of the most frequent techniques involved alongside popups whenever a given technique appears. Specific examples that weren't covered in the video include Meta Knight's numerous applications of Turbo Mode (In which he conserves vertical momentum by cancelling his Up-B with another move) and the several instances of entering doors to quit fights against characters (A NG+ strat to prematurely complete levels). Feel free to ask any other questions in the comments; I'll reply to them as best as I can (As long as they weren't already answered in the video).

Saved half a second over the best any% TAS record by SWITCHING CHARACTERS AND USING MARIO COMPLETELY OUT OF LEFT FIELD to bait Kirby into Down-B'ing off the stage with the help of FLUDD.
