00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Hello and welcome to my Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Tool-Assisted Speedrun!

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
This run is the product of many months of effort and a combination of many tricks.

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
These subtitles will explain step-by-step what happens in the run and why. I hope this helps.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
The fastest file name is the Japanese letter "a."

5
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:39,600
Mario learns that he must meet Peach at the town of Rogueport in order to search for a secret treasure.

6
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Prologue

7
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:20,000
Mario reaches the Docks of Rogueport.

8
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:28,900
Throughout the run, you will see Mario jump. This is "Speed Swap," a speed glitch.

9
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:33,000
Mario's speed when moving up and down is actually faster than moving left and right.

10
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
So by moving up or down for 1 frame, I can then jump left or right and maintain a greater speed.

11
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:47,000
In addition, depending on my angle, pushing against walls is faster. This was used on the railing before entering this.

12
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Mario encounters Lord Crump who is harassing a Goomba named Goombella.

13
00:02:55,900 --> 00:03:01,200
There is a small window to press "B" that causes Mario to deal damage to his enemy instead of taking damage.

14
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Clicking slowly through these text boxes manipulates RNG. I'll explain in a second what that means.

15
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Because there is an event going on in the background, this doesn't actually waste any time.

16
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:35,000
RNG = Random Number Generator. This is the system within the game that determines what happens if something is "random."

17
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
This is Zess T. Her spawn position is random and it was determined earlier.

18
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000
When I clicked slowly through text boxes earlier, I was changing her spawn position.

19
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
This way when Mario breaks the contact lens, she only has to run a small distance to reach Mario.
