'''1 Key''' is the name for the current iteration of the any% [[TAS]] category which involves skipping [[Bowser in the Dark World]], the first Bowser level, by entering the castle using a glitch called [[#Moat Door Skip|Moat Door Skip]]. It is so named because Mario collects exactly 1 [[Key]], namely the one collected after finishing [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]]. Its name also references previous any% TAS categories including [[0 Star]], [[1 Star]], and [[16 Star]].

==Current Record==
==Current Record==
The current record for the 1 Key TAS stands at 4:21.13 on emulator, timed at 4:21.04 on console (making console timing actually ''faster'' than emulator timing)<ref name="contime"/>. Since this skip saves the time normally required for the first Bowser level, this TAS holds the world record for the fastest known completion of Super Mario 64.

==Notability of being performed on J Version==
Unlike many other categories, the 1 Key run is optimally performed on the [[Super Mario 64#Japanese|Japanese version]] of the game instead of the [[Super Mario 64#English|US version]]. This is due to [[Peach]] not narrating her dialogue in the Japanese version, which saves more time than the longer in-game text costs. This time save is emphasized due to MDS skipping both the castle entry textbox and the BitDW textbox, both of which are longer on the Japanese version. Therefore, this run is ''not'' performed on the Japanese version because of version-exclusive glitches; it is performed on the Japanese version because the introduction is faster.

First, Mario performs a [[Backwards Long Jump#Slope BLJ|slope BLJ]] to gain speed in the castle grounds. Once Mario's [[intended next position]] is in the [[ceiling]] under the bridge, he continues BLJing, but it acts like a [[Backwards Long Jump#Low Ceiling BLJ|low ceiling BLJ]] instead. At this point, Mario has enough negative speed to [[negative jump]] past the grate into VCutM.

Mario quickly falls down to the elevators. He then sets the camera to [[fixed cam]] to avoid [[PU#Floating point truncation crash|a crash on console]]. Mario BLJs in order to get QPU speed (enough speed to perform [[PU#Travel and movement|PU movement]]). Since the elevator begins to turn, this allows Mario to use it get massive vertical [[platform displacement]], which triggers the death barrier. Normally level death resets speed, but because Mario spawns in using a water exit, he is able to conserve his [[sliding speed]]. Then, by pressing Z to slide and C^ to conserve speed on the first frame on Mario is on ground (as water does not update sliding speed), he conserves his QPU speed into the castle grounds. Mario then navigates to the moat door's relative location in PU's, which he can do since PU's lack water. The game checks whether Mario should enter a door before it checks if he should swim, which allows Mario to open the door (from behind) when he navigates back to the main map.

Mario uses a ledge grab to quickly get up the first set of stairs. Although it is not visible on camera, Mario then performs a Side BLJ to gain speed. He clips through the 50 Star door. Mario then performs "Clock Punch", described here (scroll down)<ref>[http://tasvideos.org/5237S.html "Super Mario 64 "1 Key" in 04:21.3" on TASVideos"]</ref>. He then uses wall kicks to navigate past the [[Endless Stairs]] and into [[Bowser in the Sky]].

Mario quickly beats the level, using skips to avoid large parts of it. When he gets to the last elevator, he uses a EBLJ to reach the pipe quickly.
Using a glitch known as squish cancel, Mario is able to redirect momentum from a BLJ vertically, allowing him to fly to the final elevator, and clip into the final Bowser pipe with another BLJ.

Mario fights Bowser as normal. At the end, Mario uses speed conserved from a BLJ to grab the [[Grand Star]] faster.
