A Tool-Assisted Speedrun (TAS) is a method of completing a video game using software tools to achieve optimal performance. This technique allows players to manipulate game mechanics, frame-perfect inputs, and execute strategies that would be nearly impossible in real-time play. TAS runs are often created using emulators, which enable precise control over the game environment. TAS is distinct from traditional speedrunning, where players rely solely on their skills and reflexes. The resulting videos showcase the fastest possible completion times, often serving as a benchmark for human players. TAS runs are popular in the gaming community, particularly for games like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda.
