[TAS] Spelunky 2 - True Crown Freerun

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.

I'm obviously biased, but this run deserves over 1 million views. City of Gold was bonkers!

[@ZombieClimbs]

I agree with this guy!

[@smooshed_in]

That one hired hand who I gave my bow to:

[@zay7474]

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

[@medola-]

one of the most satisfying spelunky 2 videos that exists

[@wafflesaucey]

nah the recoil lava dodge at 7:13 is crazy. I'm subbing.

[@qball0881]

nice bubble skip 💀

[@ultracoolesocke]

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

[@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

[@TillyCorbin]

i love the part at 3:37, just sitting calmy before throwing bombs everywhere

[@dragunaut.]

*dropped the phone*
Me: I hope it's not cracked!
The phone:

[@space-diny7667]

Dang

[@flabman08]

damn, i didn't know a phone was capable of a supernova

[@brainsforbrunch5940]

TAS runs are always so ridiculous and fun to watch! The tiamat skip is insane!

[@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"

[@Stickat2]

This tas was hilarious, entertaining, and impressive. Great piece of work. I love the absolute insanity of this tas so much.

[@HidamariXIX]

I loved this! Really sick 6-4 skip

[@Vesite]

7:04 this is how the game is supposed to be played

[@majestichotdog1195]

Average neobab tbh

[@spacebear9]

5:54 i felt physical pain when they picked up a ruby

[@space-diny7667]

wait what- ah ahr afhieodwnjiwdebhuigdedouinjiwebdhuhedjklwdnedndi

[@haleymiller4586]

Hate to cause more but he also goy more gems along the way during cog

[@Helmotz.]

incredibly cathartic and impressive

[@bluerednotpurple]

This is really fun to watch

[@anonymousfog501]

10:23 placed exactly 50 powerbombs in less than 3 seconds

[@viprevipre]

this is probably the best video to ever be created ever

[@cheengo]

this is hilarious, I love it

[@Mclay-ts7nl]

Can I ask why didn't Tun get angry when you have TC ?

[@h20cosmic909]

I love your videos

[@C0STC0-CH1PS]

This is awesome

[@Mathemaniac187]

The memiest video I’ve seen in a while with spelunky..

[@nalze749]

that olmec stage was coolest ever

[@Abdelrhman_Kamel]

I think that is the most insane video game thing that I have ever seen.

[@Aceatoll]

I sometimes forget that the hypothetical skill ceiling for this game is located at the same place the game itself is

[@daddykipperflipper4600]

The whole transition to stage six is crazy…

[@poopyfarts6848]

the olmec fight was a piece of art

[@Aeroporc]

Nice ! What a ride

[@NueroTea]

Amazing run Spencer. Quick question, is teleporting, via telepack, teleporter, or true clown, truly random? Or can it be manipulated based on time or location?

[@georgemichaelis1664]

wow this guy is really good

[@o0WillDaBeast0o]

amazing

[@calabothegrt]

i had a dream like this once

[@lemonlemonlemonlemon7494]

goated performance

[@Pocjoi_The_Loser]

amazing tas m8
🔥🔥🔥
also how did Tun not get mad at u even when u had the tc? i was like wut lol

[@Mathemaniac187]

If you enter a Tun shop in a way that doesn’t trigger the welcome message from her, she won’t get angry.

[@magetaaaaaa]

1:48 is the sickest combo ever.

[@expungedglitch2551]

Bros movements remind me of the spelunky 1 death match bots😂

[@ThySaggy]

This is the spleunky video

[@agitatedpotato]

Crazy

[@basha____]

so fun

[@jrkoy]

The entire time i was like:how is this guy/girl doing this????

[@TheSilly6403]

Do you think Beg edges to this

[@TheLeviathan1293]

Ohhhhhh.
Why was Tun fine with you blowing up the outside of the sun challenge? Some weird glitch? Or does she just not get angry and I didn't know?

[@Spencer_PK]

Ownership is the mechanic behind kill blame and angering vendors. When you throw a bomb, you are tagged as the owner, and will be blamed for the damage it causes.
When the Sun Challenge was destroyed, the game saw that I owned the bomb, so an ownership chain begins and jumps to the player entity. The game then sees that the player is stunned and has the owner tagged as the Frog Trap's spear, so the ownership chain then jumped to the spear. The game then considers the spear as the entity who destroyed the shop, and because that is not a player, the player does not get blamed.
This "stun ownership passthrough" mechanic only works if the player is stunned and owned by something else when the the game tries to blame the player. This tech can be used to do other things like get pacifist kills even if you really should be the one getting the blame.

[@TheLeviathan1293]

@@Spencer_PK Oh, I see.

[@commanderdemonno9819]

what did you pull with that boomerang
you attached the bomb to it and then you threw the boomerang for a bootleg pitcher's mitt toss???
*_WHAT_*

[@quantumrelativity3849]

this is peak spelunking

[@katana_on_a_keychain]

8:47 The ominous music isn’t for the level
Its for the massacre the tas is about to create

[@SuperNinjaFat]

Cool

[@NeoLoveCookie]

Why tun doesn't angry even you wearing true crown?

[@84bombsjetpack23]

Tool Assisted Spelunking

[@cowmanjoe]

wonder if that plasma gun qilin skip is possible as a real person

[@SuperNinjaFat]

This makes me laugh 😂

[@happy_mask_ultimate5521]

He doesn't know death

[@whocaresofusername]

HOW ID YOU

[@okarthegreat]

Wh- wha- I- h- ...I don't understand what I just watched

[@marioisawesome8218]

3:32 the level is so dark tun cannot see you wearing the true crown. im just kidding i have no idea why she didn't get mad.... wait... WAS IT BECAUSE YOU WERE ALREADY INSIDE A SHOP?

[@tobythecooldude4112]

3m 35 sec was col

[@21zxctciuzcrt2lhv4uvvwrha]

[@jimhorn3193]

[@qua_xor3348]

Wait how tf didn't tun get mad when you... Oh I see.

[@qua_xor3348]

I am gonna play on this seed just to see how it goes for me. I like it lol

[@wyattsmith7537]

There's no way this was an actual player right? This has to be a computer

[@balrg]

It's a person doing inputs frame-by-frame, hence 'tool-assisted'

[@GiulioCasanova-kc9kf]

But you are pro plaing with @isacctv
