that’s a really amazing improvement! I would’ve never expected an improvement to come from B1, and it looks awesome to boot

Amazing. Would you still have to activate the cannon in a 120 star run for "Somewhere over the Rainbow"? If so, it might unfortunately be slower to use this.

sonicpacker mentioned in the submission thread for the new 120-star that they could have skipped the cannon, but it would have been slower. So the question then is whether or not the time saved with this strat would make up for not using the cannon for Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Opening the cannon would probably be done here.

Yeah, BLJ strat for Big House in the Sky is still faster for a 120 star run.

What about for the 70-star no BLJ run?

This star is still way too slow for 70-star.

This is the BitFS improvement for 0 stars: Link to video Kyman got the idea of the improvement, which consists on dive grind after the pole glitch, in stead of wallkicking. It saves 4 frames. Then I think those wallkicks are very good optimized.

Speaking of which, can link to the Bowser Dark World level? I need to look for ways to get the red coins.

...I don't think that would help you any. For one, the any% doesn't collect the red coins, so that would be kind of useless. Second of all, TASes of Bowser's Dark World zip through the stage with BLJs like crazy, so I doubt its effectiveness for anything like real time play. Though if you insist on using a TAS for your guidance, this is your best bet (BDW from the 120 Stars TAS, collecting all red coins)
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

I don't think we need 3 threads for different hacks. I think we should just use this one. Link to video

It's neat that the challenge was open ended enough that literally everyone had a different route. It would be kinda neat to iterate one of these challenges, to see if anyone can find something better than the previous winning run.

There's always going to be improvements, the challenge lies within the time limit to make the video. Just watch H20's (3rd place) run as he makes the jump from the 2nd red coin to the 3rd red coin at 2:10. Now watch luigi2012 (2nd place) perform his jump at 2:46. Even just tightening up that jump could have saved the .4 seconds needed to take 1st.

It was probably that kick towards the star.

That's the final input. It doesn't matter where the star is, as long as it grabs it.
