[[Taters]] brought TASBot to the tournament and presented Bruno_Visnadi's {{TASVideosM|4144|SNES ''Super Mario World'' "Warps"}} on the speedrunning stream. Stump hosted the run and the stream.

A recording of the presentation is available [https://youtu.be/-PbTS6cuIvc on youtube.]

The script for the run was a collaboration between Taters, GlitchCat7, and Masterjun.

'''Backstory'''

This run started as a passing conversation between TASBot members and RGBLAN staff at MAGfest 2024. Well known runner and frequent contributor to TASBot projects Stump had been given the responsibility of putting together a speedrunning stage at this event and was looking for content. TASBot keeper Taters was close to the event and willing to provide.

The selection of the run was heavily dependant on both the target timeframe for the block and Taters' ability to solo commentate. As a recreational runner of Super Mario World and Kaizo romhacks, it was felt that an SMW run was the best fit for the venue. Due to the time constraints and overall complexity, it was determined to focus on a run that had been console verified but not do a live verification at the event.

The script was written in two parts, technical and introductory. Taters wrote the introductory script and the technical details were provided by GlitchCat7 and Masterjun.

'''Fun Facts'''

There were minor technical difficulties as part of the run. Initially it was expected that the video encode would be run from Taters' laptop directly on stage allowing the commentator to start the run. However, due to some compatibility mismatch with video signals, the run was played from the production desk. All members of the team who happen to be seasoned IT professionals entirely lacked any form of external storage to transfer the encode. However, the next runner happened to have a spare microSD card and a reader was found to transfer the files.

This event marks the first time that Taters has appeared on camera since discovering significant issues with anxiety and stage fright. Picked up by a hot mic on stage after the run, the live stream was treated to a joking comment from Taters about not having passed out "not even once" during the run.

Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow

{{format run data|showcase|Super Scribblenauts}}The Super Scribblenauts run for AGDQ2019 was the first time the TASBot community attempted physical input on an unmodified console. Via hardware developed by Funkmastermp, we were able to slide in a standard Nintendo DS and provide touch input to the console. The run consisted of 3 distinct components: The MASHBot hardware, a twitch connector for creating polls, and the DS hardware itself.

Headed by Funkmastermp, the TASBot group arrived on stage and began setting up. Once finished and microphoned, DwangoAC introduced the run and passed the reigns to Funkmastermp for the rest of the run.

'''The format of the run was as such:'''

After booting the game and explaining the premise, a level was selected. After the level was selected and the challenge was read, twitch chat was given a poll with multiple answers to select. The answer with the most votes was then fed into the TAS through manual input at the console. After the solution was selected, MASHBot then utilized multiple stepper motors to interact with the screen of the Nintendo DS to complete the puzzle. Finally, we would move on to the next challenge, until the run completed.

The run frequently referenced "Dead Lions", which is a longstanding meme in the Scribblenauts community. Ultimately, every option including the "dead lion solution" was chosen by twitch chat.

'''Fun fact:''' Multiple members of the tasbot team were fully aware that a number of the solutions were quite "meme-y" and hedged a few bets that twitch chat would choose those options. To that end, the results of the poll were never manipulated - but some of the options, if selected, would have caused serious issues as they had not written a TAS for that solution!

'''Even more fun fact:''' The file name of "Sara" was used because the game cartridge was donated by TASBot member Taters. The cartridge was the childhood possession of Taters's sister, who's name is Sara.

'''A somewhat informative and maybe fun fact:''' During the run, live at AGDQ 2019, there is an empty chair on stage. This chair is empty due to the sudden and drastic realization from Taters who was on stage previously discovering a previously unknown anxiety issue and vacating the stage during the MariO run.
