"I wonder if there is a way to get an upgraded hammer and other partners after skipping Goombario." I'm going to answer a slightly different question here. Can you get an upgraded hammer without getting getting the normal hammer? Currently... You need either Parakarry or Lakilester to cross the lava to reach the Ultra Hammer. The Super Hammer and Parakarry are both in Chapter 2, as is one of the seeds required to open Chapter 6 to get Lakilester. We cannot enter Chapter 2 without already having a Hammer upgrade to access the sewers shortcuts, or Bombette to blow up the rock at the train station, but to get to Bombette requires either a hammer or already having Bombette. Another approach you might think to take is the Any Partner Glitch, which theoretically gives us access to any partner as long as we get Goompa and then never obtain any other partners legitimately. But to get back out of Jr. Troopa's Playground after getting Goompa also requires the hammer. You might also think to get through Pleasant Path to the fortress by advancing the gamestate, which does allow you to get there, however there are no accessible triggers we can use to revert the gamestate back so that we can actually obtain Bombette (and you cannot Peach Warp into Chapter 6 and get Lakilester for similar reasons). Another idea you might try to reach the Ultra Hammer is to use Sushie glitch. You can be standing right next to the chest as Mario however the game will not let you open chests while Sushie glitch is active. So the short answer is no, at least not yet, anyway. If you skip the Hammer you can still get Bow. If you have a partner (or at least temporary access to Goombario from the Lucky Star scene) you can avoid the Red Station crash and get Watt. With Watt you can reach the jungle and get Sushie. As to your question about skipping Goombario. There is a way to skip Goombario which does not skip the hammer. You can entirely complete the rest of the game 100% without him except for Power Jump, Goombario himself, and his 2 partner upgrades.

We also have to consider the game crashes on an N64 at Goomba King's Fortress when skipping Goombario (as pointed out in the video), by the way. Therefore, the glitch only seems more "viable" on the VC release.

Anyone know if a route is available for the 100% run?

This from here? I don't know its quality as I'm not familiar enough with the game, but it was updated a couple of months ago apparently so I guess it's alright?

Here is the finished TAS with commentary, forgot to post it on here after it was uploaded sorry. Doodarino is going to re-upload it to his yt channel once he's happy with the quality so there isn't a non-commentated version uploaded publicly. Link to video

Yes he does. Though this may not be the final published one. We have to do a lot of testing for the other route mentioned that doesn't skip the lucky star to see which is faster.
