I think a 70 star run is too contrived a category, i mean if good route planning is the goal then why not continue to improve the 120 star run since mario doesn't need stars to enter any course so there are a lot more route choices.

Which section(s) do you think can be optimised even further?
I think Bowser 3 can be manipulated to fall closer to the final star spot, but that's quite minor.
On a slightly unrelated note if there was a way to hyperspeed straight into the entrance of BitFS it would save ~52 sec, making a sub-6 run possible.

YES! I always suspected that SM64 was too glitchy to be bounded by 16 stars and you two proved it with style. Would this run be the single largest sequence break on the site in terms of percentage normally needed to complete the game? (the only other run I can think of that gives competition is the glitched ALttP run)

1. Even if the White House receives the card, there's a 99% chance that his email filters will discard it as spam.
2. Lyme disease is nothing to be worried about
3. Bush with Lyme disease is especially nothing to be worried about, imo.

laughing_gas, I'm pretty sure I know what you're thinking. Hideout Helm doesn't have a "DK" door like the other levels, so Lanky can't glitch his way into it.
We've got bigger problems than that. From what I've tested in PJ64 the lanky glitch doesn't work at all, the graphics plugin doesn't draw the door far enough for lanky to reach into. Maybe it's different in mupen but I'm not gonna play through 2 hours of the (J) version to find out.

Here's an unoptimized test up to the first visit with Cranky, so far no desynchs. I've noticed that this game is very picky with graphics plugins, only jabo 1.5.2 was able to work. The others either failed to render graphics at all or during movie playback. Also I noticed in the (J) version you can't skip whole blocks of text by pressing B, instead you can only fast forward through by holding A.
edit: I think there is a possible way to beat the game with 12 golden bananas, maybe even less, I'll have to do some more checking. If it works, a sub-2 hour run will be possible (you still have to get abilities like the super stomp as well as free the other 4 kongs. Rareware and Nintendo coins is required as well)
edit2: Does anyone have a PJ64 or mupen save file that has hideout helm unlocked (by unlocked I mean the mouth of the big K.Rool statue is opened), but with less than 100 golden bananas?
