TAS usually stands for Tool Assisted Speedrun, but the S can also stand for Superplay. The idea behind this TAS was to run through the game and do silly stuff.

Notes about the run:
1-2: The Climbing Gloves from the altar was RNG manipulation. The reward RNG can be changed by destroying tiles because the random tile decorations use the same RNG. The shopkeeper did not shoot me presumably because of behavior to counter metal shields.

2-1: Sticking a bomb on a boomerang allowed me to crush the bomb in a wall with a normal throw.

2-3: Tun is still mad, so I used some bombs to open a path for her to fall on spikes.

2-4: Tun is on her last life, so I cleared the path to spikes and waited for her to appear by doing other things. The frame I left is the frame she died.

4-2: Normally, walking in the front door or teleporting into one of Tun's shops with True Crown makes her mad, but entering the shop from destroyed terrain does not make her mad. When the Hoverpack blew up, it was not owned by me according to the game, so it was not my fault that her shop was destroyed.

4-3: All tiles in the level were destroyed.

7-2: Like with the Star Challenge earlier, I did not break the shop according to the game. the Frog Trap's spear did. The spot I stood in maximized how many spawners were active.

All inputs you see in the video were inputted frame-by-frame with a real controller with the ability to replay levels as many times as needed. This is obviously not meant to complete with human runs and is purely for entertainment and seeing the limits of the game.

    0:27 I like how the shopkeeper didn’t even shoot past the initial shot. He just escorted you to the door.

    I'm obviously biased, but this run deserves over 1 million views. City of Gold was bonkers!
  • @Nat_the_Chicken
    I think my favorite part was when you stuck fifty bombs to your plasma cannon in 7-4 and sent it rocketing up toward the top of the level and then it just fell directly on your head like a cartoon
  • @medola-
    one of the most satisfying spelunky 2 videos that exists
  • @That0neguy420
    Gotta love how the tas just CARPET BOMBED the city of gold, like bro was out for blood
  • @jimbothetimbo6790
    I’d never even heard of a tool assisted superplay! But this is genuinely one of the most impressive things I’ve seen out of the spelunky community

    I love how he basically said "oh you thought i was gonna do it" with the CoG Kali Altar

    TAS runs are always so ridiculous and fun to watch! The tiamat skip is insane!
  • @TillyCorbin
    i love the part at 3:37, just sitting calmy before throwing bombs everywhere
  • @Stickat2
    This tas was hilarious, entertaining, and impressive. Great piece of work. I love the absolute insanity of this tas so much.
  • @Yesnt915
    7-4 had to be the highlight of the run, absolute peak TAS right there
  • @AdmiralEggroll
    I was looking forward to the plasma/power/climber quilin skip the whole time, did not dissapoint. What a fun TAS to watch. always love when some style is thrown in, like "I know its a TAS that won't fail, but how can you survive THIS situation"
