A '''tool-assisted speedrun/superplay''' (abbreviated '''TAS''') is a video of a game that was played using tools unavailable in normal gameplay, usually with the aim to play perfectly and create an entertaining video. Typically, the game is played in an emulator and a sequence of button presses is recorded (one for each human player) that will always yield the same outcome when played back. The tools used include but are not limited to: using savestates to rewind to earlier points, advancing the game frame by frame and monitoring the game's memory.
