[MKW TAS] Platinum Runner TAS Strats

Done on Dolphin 5.0 with savestates, slowdown, frame advance, TAS code, and RAM watch (created by Swarejonge).

For those who don't know, the Platinum Runner (and Platinum Spear) is a mod created by Atlas that maxes out the bar in every stat (every stat has a value of 80). On top of this, turning while in a wheelie doesn't cause the vehicle's speed to drop, giving it the ability to make minor adjustments without losing speed.

This is a video concept I've wanted to do ever since Troy made his videos showcasing the mod. I've dabbled a little bit with making montages in the past, so I figured this would be a pretty fun idea for a video to take a small break from doing fully optimized TASes. The main problem wasn't even the compiling of clips; rather, it was getting a hold of the mod itself. Due to the fact that this vehicle is completely overpowered compared to the actual vehicles, this mod has been kept pretty exclusive in the MKW community. I'm honestly surprised that I managed to obtain the official version of the mod.

Overall, I feel I did a pretty decent job showing what this vehicle can do. It's fairly hindered by the combination of insane handling and drift, which makes most turns awkward, but it also benefits the vehicle in certain situations. Of course, having a speed stat of 80 also lets it do a lot more than other vehicles, and the offroad stat comes in handy at times as well.

Special thanks to Atlas for creating this mod and LuigiM for helping me with installing the mod.
