Ejay B, or simply Ejay, is an Australian TASer and former RTA time trialler, who is a current admin of the MKWii TAS discord server. As an RTA player, he is the former world record holder on Grumble Volcano, and was the first to set a world record using supersliding. As a TASer, he has been one of the most prolific contributors to the regular tracks since 2020, and is the leading TASer in total BKT count.

Excluding a short stint in 2014, Ejay started TASing regularly in 2018, by making submissions to challenges by Flamin' Funky and CLH Gaming. His interest soon shifted to TAFs, followed by 300cc and kart categories. In 2019, Ejay set his first BKTs, was added to the TASLabz private channels, and begun contributing to regular tracks. Since then, he has; found an RTA viable method for the GCN Waluigi Stadium ultra shortcut, co-discovered the GBA Bowser Castle 3 and DS Desert Hills ultra shortcuts, discovered the Moo Moo Meadows ultra shortcut, discovered supergliding, and found RTA viable strategies for supersliding on Luigi Circuit and N64 Mario Raceway, among other contributions.

In the MKWii TAS Awards, Ejay has been nominated for TASer of the Year five times (every year since its inception), and has contributed to the winners of the 3lap TAS of the Year and Flap TAS of the Year in each year. He was also one of the first competitors in the MKWii TAS Competition, achieving 11 medals (5 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze) from 2020 to 2021, and earning 3rd place in TAS Comp 2020. His submission to Task 11 2021 is widely considered to be one of the best winning submissions of all time.

From 2017 to 2022, as a time trialler in the RTA community, Ejay set 45 Oceania records and 6 world records. All the world records were set on Grumble Volcano in 2019, the last of which still sits at 4th on the worldwide rankings. In 2025, Ejay made a brief return, and set the first supersliding world record on Luigi Circuit.

Career

2013–2017: Early YouTube period

Ejay created his YouTube channel, Ejay B, in March 2013, and begun uploading Mario Kart Wii videos. His channel often featured short clips or highlights from playing the game in Time Trials mode, such as shortcuts, glitches, completing tracks backwards, track exploration, or weird interactions with collision. In 2014, he briefly used Dolphin to record two TAF clips on Coconut Mall, and in 2017, he started uploading pure time trial videos.

While Mario Kart Wii remained central to the channel, he also turned his focus to other games, including Super Mario Galaxy (2013), Lego Star Wars III (2014–2017), Animal Crossing: City Folk (2014–2016), Mario Kart 8 (2015–2017), and Super Mario 3D World (2015–2018).

2018–2019: First TASes and RTA world records

In January 2018, Ejay uploaded his first TAS - a submission to Flamin' Funky's GBA Bowser Castle 3 challenge. He would follow this up with a No Shortcut TAS, and an improvement to his main submission. This interest in challenges continued in CLH Gaming's Grumble Volcano challenge and Flamin' Funky's DK Summit challenge.

Soon after, Ejay started uploading TAFs, with a short clip on GCN DK Mountain, and both a full-length TAF and short clip on Maple Treeway. This interest in TAFs was short-lived and soon replaced by 300cc, which had been gaining popularity at the time. Ejay created several 300cc TASes in 2018 and 2019, on Toad's Factory, N64 Mario Raceway, Rainbow Road, Grumble Volcano, and Moonview Highway. He also uploaded Kart TASes on Maple Treeway and Grumble Volcano,

Meanwhile, he was also uploading increasing amounts of RTA time trials, now reaching into Oceania top 10 rankings, with an Oceania record on Maple Treeway in early 2019, followed by his Maple Treeway Glitch Tutorial! video. This RTA success was superseded by reaching worldwide top 10 rankings on Grumble Volcano during the meta shift from Bit Bike to Quacker. The peak of this meta shift saw Ejay set six world records, with a now-iconic intro featured in his 17.651 time. His final world record and currently personal best of 16.852, set 19 September 2019, currently sits at 4th worldwide after 6 years.

2019–2020: First TAS BKTs and breakthrough

2020–2022: Major collaborations, TAS Comp, and less frequent uploads

2023: Ultra discoveries, Supergliding, WBSS, and Flap TAS of the Year

2024–present: Continued success, first RTA supersliding world record
