[TAS] NES Excitebike by Lord Tom in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see https://tasvideos.org/1348M
TAS originally published on 2009-08-31

This movie plays Excitebike really fast with an improvement of over a second compared to the previous movie ( https://tasvideos.org/1070M ) by JXQ.

Times for each track are:

0 = 36.19 (0.35 improved)
1 = 37.84 (0.40 -"-)
2 = 38.67 (0.19 -"-)
3 = 41.96 (0.02 -"-)
4 = 41.00 (0.02 -"-)
5 = 31.34 (0.40 -"-)
Cumulative in-game savings: 1.38s

Main improvements come from taking ramps faster and a unique trick in which the author goes slower to get a better time. Look for further info in the author's comments ( https://tasvideos.org/2383S ).

The encode for this movie features commentary in the form of soft subtitles.



This movie also has two Atlas Map encodes, one of Track 1 (    • NES Atlas: Excitebike (Track 1)   ), and one of Track 2 (    • NES Atlas: Excitebike (Track 2)   ), which shows the standard encode overlaid on a zoomed out map.
