Malleo, Luke, tasPlasma, SwordOfSeals as Funky, and dwangoAC join our perfectionist mascot TASBot in "owning" Mario Kart Wii individual levels as shown at SGDQ 2019

Malleo, Luke, and tasPlasma along with 17 other authors in the Mario Kart Wii TASing community put together a showcase for SGDQ 2019 of some of the most interesting and entertaining individual level Tool-Assisted Speedruns with additional commentary provided by SwordOfSeals and TASBot's keeper, dwangoAC. This was made possible through recent accuracy improvements in the Dolphin Emulator. In the emulator, authors can create time trial ghosts. As of more recent Dolphin Emulator versions, authors can transfer these ghosts to real unmodified hardware and successfully play back the time trial.

This TAS showcase makes use of a few cosmetic modifications to improve viewing experience, namely a "Live Replay" code which makes the race appear as if it is being performed live. This allows the viewer to hear the course music as well as character audio, as opposed to the vanilla replay system which uses one background song with no in-game audio. In addition, a speedometer code and a few menuing codes were used. These menuing codes simply allowed us to navigate to the next track faster which improved the viewer experience and allowed for more tracks to be added.

The commentary present in this video is outstanding and is the end result of months of work refining and rehearsing. The result is remarkable when compared to the initial video at https://youtu.be/INZog3HEQNM where it was just me (dwangoAC) with little knowledge of what was happening in each level.
