No, because you don't get that star with the 100 coin star. You can get the bully star in 12 seconds, which means there is little room for improvement anyway. Currently, inside the igloo is the fastest star with the 100 coin star.

Yeah... sorry. It was just an idea. I've never seen him basically kill himself before. Its just something to think about or test. You know how it is with TAS stuff.

Sorry to be repetitive but all those video are enthralling a lot. If I am not allowed to express entusiasm without content I will not post again here. But if I am allowed I want to give feedback to the team, you are doing great!

JRB Star #3 Route Test *edit* Successfully reuploaded without motion blur.
It's good, but don't JRB TASes normally use the ocean cave for the 100 coins star?

Yes, so that TAS is useless, but very entertaining I might add.

I'm confused, how long does it take to get 100 coins though? Also, wouldn't that video be useful for a 120 star run?

It takes a minute I think and it involves exiting and entering the water multiple times + you need to kill a goomba in the cave and activate a blue coin switch etc. so it might be useful, but it's unlikely.

Would it make any sense to possibly go straight to the blue coins using the method in the video and then getting the other coins after + going after a different star? Sorry, I am pretty much a n00b about this (oddly).

The level only has 104 coins so one way or another you have to visit every coin site anyway, so there's no reason to waste time entering the cave first or backtracking to set up a BLJ to gain a second or two of speed once in the cave. You'd also lose the momentum activating the blue coin switch and there is a ring of coins on the ground to collect as well.

Love the backwards flying, just like Powdered Toast Man.

This Video shows the player warping from mid-swimming to the bottom of the stage. Anyone have ideas on how this happened, and perhaps if it could be used in other areas and or manipulated to speed up stars?

Maybe a Zählwerk overflow because going too fast. That is interesting.

I think that's happened to me before too. I didn't say anything because I never knew how I did it. :P

Bob, are you trying to say this is new? Have you ever watched a 120 star WIP from Rob_Z?

I have, and I was wondering how this comaires to the trick that glitches you through the wall into the passage. Don't you need to collide with a wall to make that happen? So I'm just curious if this can be done on other places.

Ok. I swear. I am done with this star. I'm 80% sure this is optimal unless a new route comes along: Chill with the Bully :P
