1 Key: Difference between revisions

'''1 Key''' is the current evolution of the any% category which involves skipping [[Bowser in the Dark World]], the first Bowser level, by using a glitch that makes the key obtained from that fight unnecessary. The central glitch was discovered in mid-2015, and was revealed to the public when [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMmU0XaR0coor7dtJkEAh4A sonicpacker] uploaded a video showcasing it<ref>Original reveal: https://youtu.be/v5o_9XKmAfE</ref>. The strat involves using [[PU]] movement to navigate in front of the door under the moat with 0 stars, exploiting the facts that PUs have no water, and that the door-opening action takes precedence over entering the water within the course of a frame. The first ever TAS of 1 Key was released on September 29th, 2016 with a time of 4’21”67<ref>Original TAS: http://youtu.be/j5j6l9ULxmI</ref>. This came more than a year after the original reveal, which was due to the fact that getting QPU speed requires visiting [[Vanish Cap under the Moat]] to [[Backwards_Long_Jump#Elevator_BLJ|BLJ on an elevator]] and visiting VCutM originally required 10 stars to get the [[Wing Cap]] for [[Hyperspeed Flying]], until a BLJ on the castle grounds was found that sufficed. The current record stands at 4’21”2, though 1 frame has since been saved in [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]]. 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.
