I enter the character door area and line up with an 'almost just right' angle to clip into the corner of the room. Next I re-enter Lethal Lava Land so that I can exit course and end up in the main lobby of the castle. The other option would be Shifting Sand Land's Shining Atop the Pyramid, which works out about the same time when you add in the bit of extra castle movement. I then get the 1 star of the run in lethal lava land, which is the red coin star.

The next bit of movement seems slow (waiting for the moat to drain) however jumping earlier just means you end up swimming and have less speed going up the next slope, which ends up being almost exactly the same speed as just waiting. I lost a second or two just after the clip because I grabbed the ledge climbing the stairs.Īfter this I drain the moat for later (we need to enter the basement again later and don't want to either do moat clip again or beat bowser in the dark world). In this run I get this first try which is very good (each extra attempt takes between 12 seconds and ~20 seconds depending on whether you get the heavens portal or end up swimming in the water). In order to clip down into the bottom of the moat instead, I needed to press A or B exactly 1 frame before touching the wall. Usually this causes a heavens portal glitch (throws yoshi very high up into the air), however this isn't useful at all. This trick happens by slide kicking on the hill to the left of the castle and into the side of the castle with enough speed. This now means that the star count required is 1 star because you need to open the door to the character door area. These 3 jumps still were very difficult to execute due a number of reasons (1st has a small area to land on, 2nd is very awkward because of limited dpad movement, and 3rd requires very precise angles and a very well timed jump).

However after A LOT of grinding on emulator, I found a way to get the initial clip into the corner in real time and some line ups for the 3 big jumps OoB. Initially, I ran 8 star because, although I knew from the TAS of the game that there was an 8 star door skip, it seemed completely undoable in real time to me. Therefore in order to complete the game we must unlock mario. the clip to get from the first floor upstairs into the tip top area uses one of the minigame rabbits, which is not there as yoshi. yoshi cannot dive or punch and therefore cannot grab bowser's tail to throw him into the bombs. This makes it seem like 0 star would be possible, however there are 2 problems. get from the tip top area up the endless stairs into bowser in the sky get from the first floor upstairs into tip top area (with rainbow ride + tick tock clock) get from the basement area to bowser in the fire sea (so that the upstairs can be unlocked) get into the basement area without beating bowser in the dark world Return to the Game List, the FAQ, or the Home Page.Ġ-star Single-segment: 0:06:44 by 'Xiah' (timed using the community RTA method).ħ0-star Single-segment 0:49:43 by Mike Sigler.ġ star is any% in the ds version of the game.
