MKWii TAS Competition 2025 - Task 4 Submission Analysis

Heavily inspired by:    • Super Mario 64 - TAS Competition Task 6 - ...  
Credit to ‪@mkdasher‬ for the original 2018 concept!

I was also motivated to start this full-year series because of this video:    • How I Created the Winning Run in MKWii TAS...  
Credit to ‪@EPIK95‬ for making that!

Watch the result video for this task:    • MKWii TAS Competition 2025 - Task 4 Result...  

As a sort of companion piece to each result video, I've decided I'm going to make an analysis video covering how I made my submission, regardless of how I placed!

This task was my worst result since the last Task 4, also on CM, exactly 1 year ago, when I got exactly the same placement. And somehow, I still managed to almost win.
