I thought of this route for the basement levels: 1 - beat 1st bowser (33 stars) 2 - get vanish cap star, then re-enter, choose exit (34 stars), back to the lobby 3 - bigboo's haunt (41 stars) 4 - dire dire docks + 2nd bowser (49 stars) 5 - SSL + LLL + HMC + metal cap star + 2 MIPS + toad star (74 stars) 6 - re-enter any of those, choose exit and back to the lobby 7 - enter the 2nd key door I am right now working on 35th + 36th stars (100 coin route on big boo's haunt). I'm following all of the stars names on this level.
I think a better route is 34-35. 2 MIPS 36-42. Shifting Sand Land (No caps needed) 43-49. Lethal Lava Land (No caps needed) 50-58. Toad Star + Metal Cap + Hazy Maze Cave (Star 3 requires Metal Cap) 59. Vanish Cap (Re-enter + quit Vanish Cap course; reappear in lobby) 60-66. Big Boo's Haunt (Star 6 requires Vanish Cap) 67-74. Dire, Dire Docks + Bowser in Fire Sea This way, you don't have to go through the basement twice.

How do you get the Gold scale as a kid?
Oh dear...it's a glitch. Have you been following the discussion on Speed Demos Archive?

Bombchu sources: 10 - Spirit Temple 10 - Bombchu Bowling I'm trying to ration them so that exactly 10 are used before bowling. The back alley shop and the carpet merchant are NOT feasible options for a TAS because of the needed adult wallet upgrade (and 10 Skulltula tokens).

Ah, I noticed that too. He probably thought that the few seconds on the Target/Platform stages wouldn't make a huge difference on his overall score (which, of course, violates the spirit of the TAS runner to strive for perfection).

To mwl: In the route you posted... wouldn't you need to use another bombchu when entering zora's river?
Wow, you're right. Thanks for the heads-up. We'll have to see whether it's possible to do the damage boost in J-J with only one bombchu. If not, then pushing the block in Spirit Temple to avoid the beamos probably adds the least amount of time to the run.

The current TAS minimalist route is close to finalization. Child 1. Kokiri Forest (Sword, Rupee, Shield) 2. Inside the Deku Tree (Text skips, Jump slash) 3. Hyrule Field (Fairy Ocarina, Backwalk to lake) 4. Lake Hylia (Fishing Pond, Gold Scale, Bottle) 5. Gerudo Valley (Cucco jump, Wall slash through gate) 6. Haunted Wasteland (Backwalk across quicksand) 7. Spirit Temple (Get Requiem/Gauntlets, Fire storage, Iron Knuckle skip) == SAVE AND RESET GAME == 8. Hyrule Field (Backwalk to castle) 9. Courtyard (Bombchu skips, Lullaby) 10. Zora's River (Buy magic bean) 11. Zora's Domain (Show bottle) 12. Zora's Fountain (Enter J-J through side of mouth) 13. Inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly (Tentacle skips, bombchu boosts) 14. Zora's River (Warp to Lost Woods) 15. Sacred Forest Meadow (Saria's Song) 16. Lost Woods (Warp to Goron City) 17. Death Mountain Trail (Clear entrance to Dodongo's Cavern) 18. Dodongo's Cavern (Light eyes with single Bombchu) 19. Death Mountain Trail (Bomb boulders; glitch into fairy fountain) 20. Great Fairy's Fountain (Glitch through; get magic meter/spin attack) 21. Death Mountain Trail (Owl warp) 22. Graveyard (Plant bean for Shadow early) 23. Hyrule Field (Ganondorf cutscene; Ocarina of Time) 24. Market (Bombchu bowling: manipulate luck to get 'chus on 1st try) 25. Great Fairy's Fountain (Din's Fire: use bombchu) 26. Temple of Time (Place Spiritual Stones; pull Master Sword) No skulltulas needed. Bombchus are just enough. 1. Spirit Temple - Remove boulder blocking sunlight (2F) 2. Spirit Temple - Remove beamos (3F) * 3. Hyrule Castle - Skip weird egg 4 & 5. J-J - Skip to boss antechamber 6. Lost Woods - Remove boulders to Goron City 7. DC - Light BOTH eyes with 1 'chu (will take many tries) 8. DC - Entrance to boss chamber 9 & 10 - Remove boulders on DM Trail Adult (<1:10) 27. Graveyard (Hookshot/Hylian Shield/Shadow early) 28. Shadow (Use Kazooie's wallslash trick) 29. Forest Temple (via Death Mountain Trail & Goron City: get bow) 30. Spirit Temple (use requiem right after getting bow) == SAVE AND RESET GAME == 31. Temple of Time (Light arrows cutscene) 32. Ganon's Castle (barrier skip) 33. Ganon's Tower/Escape/Last Battle Target: <2:45 total Good luck, Acryte.

The holder of the 1-Player SSB high score (verified by Twin Galaxies) made an excellent tool-assisted video as well. Note that he was aiming for a high score, not a fast time -- but there is little difference, as you'll see: http://media.putfile.com/SSB-N64-1P-Kirby-2353785pts
