A '''TASBot''' is a replay device that can play back the common *.m64 ([[TAS]]) files that [[Mupen64]] creates on a physical [[Nintendo 64]] (N64). TASbots work by imitating the inputs of a real controller, but they are not identical to normal N64 controllers.

Super Mario 64 can also be played on the [[Super Mario 64#iQue (Chinese)|iQue]] console, but since the iQue is a handheld console it is impossible to make a TASBot for it without modifying the console.
Super Mario 64 can also be played on the [[Super Mario 64#iQue (Chinese)|iQue]] console, but since the iQue is a handheld console it is impossible to make a TASBot for it without modifying the console. However, the method mentioned above used for VC playback can be used on the iQue.


A rare development version of Super Mario 64 exists for the [[Super Mario 64 DD Version|64DD]] extension, though only 1 such copy of the game exists. Though no TASing software exists for the 64DD, a regular N64 TASBot could theoretically be used to play back movies on it.

Though no TASing software exists for the 64DD, a regular N64 TASBot could theoretically be used to play back movies on it. Additionally, a playback ROMhack could theoretically be written to a development disk and used on the 64DD, but due to the extreme rarity of both 64DDs and development disks, this has never been attempted.
