A Tool-Assisted Speedrun (TAS) is a method of playing video games where players use software tools to create a perfect playthrough. This involves manipulating the game to achieve the fastest possible completion time, often by exploiting glitches or executing precise inputs that would be nearly impossible for a human player to replicate in real-time. TAS videos are typically recorded frame by frame, allowing for meticulous planning and execution. These runs are often shared within the gaming community, showcasing the potential of games like Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda when played under optimal conditions.
