Heres a TAS of Red-Hot log rolling: http://youtube.com/watch?v=miBJhUfeVtY
I think someone should make a run of the first Bowser stage, from start to the pipe, without getting red coins, and compare it to a run where the red coins are acquired, and looking at the time it takes to get the star "Hot-foot-it into the Volcano". With the very fast stars we do now, and knowing that you can BLJ on those moving platforms in bowser 1, it might be faster to just not get the red-coin star in bowser 1.
Negotiation is irrelevant. Self-determination is irrelevant. You will be assimilated.
I timed the 15:08 run and it gets to the pipe in 50 sec (including the 5 sec animation of getting the star), while the best run without red coins is ~29 sec, so it takes 16 sec to get the coins, which means we need to find another star that takes less than 16 sec to get (I can't think of any atm)
I wonder if the data of the second WF star still would give you the star if you got up there. Is there anything that can check that?
Look, does the star data for up there load if you do the caged island episode or do you have to beat the giant whomp first? I just think that you could use it in the run.
I think this is what he means: If you used a cheat code of some description to go up to where the 2nd star is, would the star be there, even though the tower to get there is not?
Negotiation is irrelevant. Self-determination is irrelevant. You will be assimilated.
I would bet a lot of money it's possible. However, if it's difficult even with Moon Jump, I doubt it's feasible.
By "possible" I meant with cheats, not possible normally. The game code doesn't lie.
Remember the Coin run? Sorry for the really long delay; we ran into some problems, but we'll try to be a little faster for the next couple of levels.
