Yeah, apparently the one set of coins I thought you needed the wing cap for was closer than I thought.
I timed Rikku's run, and grabbing the first four stars takes 2:09 counting screen transitions. Do it shellless.
Trying 127.0.0.1...

That was completely awesome! The only probable optimization I noticed is the grabbing of the box coins. Instead of grabbing the box and then throwing it, you can just dive into it and bump your head against the wall, breaking the box and grabbing the coins at the same time. Other than that, it looks perfect. Keep up the good work!
I enjoy watching progress as it happens... So, for bob-omb battlefield, is it not possible to just get the chain chomp star (#6) and then when you go back into the painting, select that, so you don't have to do the boss battle and the slow race for that koopa to appear over by the cannon?
I too prefer following the run as you make progress. On the other hand, though, it's also even more exciting to be able to watch a whole movie full things I haven't seen before when you finally finish it.
Although it's arguable that not sharing WIP's could make you miss out on some small change that would be faster, or not be aware of a desync.
ehh
Cool Cool Mountain was really awesome. This run will without a doubt be very entertaining. I don't know what others will think about your camera choice on Princess's Secret Slide, but I am so bored with that slide that anything done differently works for me.
I was very entertained! :)
Maybe I missed something but why do you get so many stars in whomp's fortress? You only need 15 stars for MIPS to appear, and you could use MIPS once you've done all the basement levels... So I'll ask, Why?
Thanks for the feedback so far; we appreciate it.
Because, in a moment of almost unrivaled stupidity, I forgot about using MIPS. My plan was:
Aquarium - 1 star in total
JRB w/ 3 stars = 4 stars in total
WF w/ 3 stars + 2 stars = 9 stars in total
PSS w/ 1 star = 10 stars in total
TotWC w/ 1 star = 11 stars in total
CCM w/ 2 stars = 13 stars in total
BoB w/ 4 stars = 17 stars in total
B1 w/ 1 star = 18 stars in total
VCUtM w/ 1 star = 19 stars in total
BBH w/ 3 stars = 22 stars in total
LLL w/ 2 stars = 24 stars in total
SSL w/ 2 stars = 26 stars in total
HMC w/ 2 stars = 28 stars in total
CotMC w/ 1 star = 29 stars in total
Toad w/ 1 star = 30 stars in total
And with the 30, we'd go through the 30 star door normally.

I thought it was cool, but so many people will hate PSS :P
Nice work, and yeah you should use MIPS so you should go back and fix that. I think you should wait for more feedback on PSS because it could get nasty...
Ok... well, the plan should be to get every coin in the game as fast as possible, right? So, I would guess that you'd have more like ~25 stars in total, or something like that...
