A '''Tool-Assisted Speedrun''' or '''TAS''', also known as an '''emulated run''' or '''time attack''', is a speed run created using emulators to optimise every last frame. They therefore invariably contain feats that are humanly impossible.
Constructing a TAS is more like animating a movie than playing a videogame, and requires much, much more patience than actual videogaming skill. Both TASs and real-time speed runs require concentration, dedication, planning, and far too much free time, but TASs are not listed on [[Main Page|this wiki]], and you can think of this as the videogaming equivalent of banning steroids. This wiki is about real play.
