Can I just say how nice it is that instead of just having a clickbait title, the question is answered in the thumbnail? It conveys a sort of respect and trust in viewers' desire for deeper knowledge and understanding that most creators on YouTube, and the internet as a whole, don't bother with. The "attention meta" is so well-established, I think going against that is something worth recognizing.

"And we need to play this cutscene six times in a row and then position these two barrels in different areas of the map." Yeah, you know the payoff is going to be good when that's the setup.

Bro really said "First go like this.... spin around STOP! Double take 3 times..!" 😂

Instructions unclear: I spent those 3 shines booking a flight with Dodo Airlines™ and now I'm in N. Sanity Beach

i felt like that American Dad meme:

"Boy, this exploit must be crazy for a setup this complex- shit, it's ACE, isn't it? It's gonna be ACE."

Next time someone says I'm floundering through life with no aim, I'll just tell them im doing an ACE skip

That Turbo Gate setup sounded like that "How to flirt with a man" tutorial or whatever.

Look at him. Look away. Look again. Look down. Look up. Smile.

Around the 9:30 mark, I began to seriously suspect that this was some kind of prank, bit, or inside joke.

Nope, just some twisted computer science with a GameCube controller.

Speedrunning rule of thumb. Every time you see a runner doing an absolutely inane and overcomplicated setup without any obvious goal in mind, 99% of the time it's ACE

From the shines to the turbo gate it went from 0 to 100 really quick.

Thank you for being the only YouTuber with an actually good sponsor. Dodo Airlines has never let me down, I can't recommend them enough.

Turbo gate is just insane, who sat there and figured out those exact inputs 😂

@jtown2909 1 year ago

thanks for putting this together!! love whenever cool runs get put in the spotlight.

I definitely got more credit for this than I should’ve lol, special shoutouts to weegee and wradion for coming up with the current ace route

@NokiDoki 1 year ago

I'll allow this A press!

Also shoutouts to su for picking up where I left off, finding the much faster setup on JP 1.0, collaborating with zelpiku on a properly optimized TAS, then making it RTA-viable, insane work

"So the next step is a bit tough to pull off but you need to slightly go back in time about 30s to stop yourself from making that movement, causing a photon shift just high enough to send you to the Win Screen"

9:25 Bro is giving the perfect instructions to blow a bubble.

You know you're a nerd when you're watching for the first time, see a cutscene get loaded twice, and immediately think, "ah, yes. We're gonna abuse pointers."
