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

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. Mostly x3 rockets.

Played on Bizhawk 2.4.2
CD ID: SCUS-94426
ID HASH: CRC32:68A605C9
Firmware: SCPH-1001.bin
Version: CTR – Crash Team Racing [NTSC-U]

TAS – RTA – IGT Timing:

These are very different between each other.
- Tas timing starts when booting up the game, ends when I beat Oxide. [45:04:20]

- RTA (Real Time Attack) starts when I confirm the selection of choosing Tiny Tiger as a character and the loading screen takes place. Mainly used in speedruns. I might add this in the future if I find a way to do a proper fds timing estimation. Should be 43min for PSX and something around 38min with FDS on PS2. I will update the timing once i do it properly in the following days.

- IGT is the sum of all the courses times [26:03.15]




Category Description:

This is CTR: Crash Team Racing Any% Warpless. This means that this category does not include the battle mode warp glitch ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA5C57AUCik ) which jump to the credits. Skips are allowed, the goal is to beat Oxide as fast as possible and stop him from turning the earth into a Parking Lot.



Lua Scripts and Addresses:

Basically every value as far as I know is dynamically allocated in CTR. I used most of the time Lapogne36’s scripts which use a pointer for the values, making it really easy to check stuff while writing the tas for reference.

I also used TheRedHotBr and Schwooples .lua script for the checkpoint system and track progression, but only in one track: Oxide Station. To pull of the startline glitch I needed to know exactly what was the last known value for the game. Also to check if the progression value correctly overflowed.
Also, thanks a lot to RedHot for helping with some strategies before going into some warps!

Last but not least, there’s the visual script developed by No More Lasagna and ThunderAxe31. This is a project I initially started to implement a working controller in lua, but they improved it to the best it could be; ThunderAxe1 did the final touches before the publication and implemented the graphical RNG script by Lapogne36 aswell. It was a lot of work and im really grateful to both tasers, huge dedication.

Also, Nyxx developed the graphics which were implemented in Lasagna/Thunder script in lua. He’s an incredibly talented ctr taser, who is also an animator. I have nothing but immense respect for Emmanuel, we’ve known each other for years.

Thanks to Korky, for his work on reverse engeneering the code on the Modding discord along Niko and the other developers, which helped to understand how rng works.

And thanks Spikestuff for the encoding! My laptop just cant take it.

Im very, very, very grateful to everyone! This tas would not have been possible without initial Lapogne work, he was an inspiration.

Special Thanks:

Lapogne36, ThunderAxe31, and The8BitBeast for giving me a huge motivation to start this project after looking at their tases.
