I've been playing Kirby super star pretty much my whole life, so I've learned quite a lot that could help for a tas of Kss great cave offensive 100%. Granted, I don't have a great castle route planned out yet, but I'm working on it. I've started putting together a walkthrough for this idea. I have no plans to try and make the run myself since I don't have the patience or proper equipment to make one. I also can't make videos, so I've put together a screenshot walkthrough. I do not have it all done yet by far, since I'm still trying to figure out some more tricks. Here's what I've got so far
*starting at room three since the first two are straight forward*
First, get these two birds together and inhale them both to get mix.
You want to get plasma ability. The mix cycle from the start is Suplex, sleep, crash, stone, and then plasma. You will notice a bomb block. This block is supposed to be used just to get out of where that treasure is. Getting that treasure the right way takes a long time.
because you got plasma, you can shoot through the wall and hit it saving a ton of time. Remember that you you can hit it just by using the the second least charged attack. this also saves time due to less charging.
In the next room, there is a bomb block out of reach.
use the same attack as before to hit it. where kirby is standing is as far away as he can stand before being out of range.
that path is now open, and it has a treasure down there.
This block needs to be destroyed to get a treasure.
By shooting plasma laser (second to full charge) from here, and lined up as shown in the image, you can hit the block without going all the way over there. *In case you think charging would take a long time, it probably won't with proper turbo buttons*
the block will be gone so you can get this.
go up to this area and shoot a plasma laser or plasma bomb (second to full or fullest charge) this will quickly destroy all the blocks to get to a treasure.
You no longer have any use for plasma, so you want to get rid of the power. Rather than go through the long time wasting prosses of getting rid of your power via helper, it would be best to get hit and get rid of your power that way. Should be easy with proper luck manipulation
now you want to get cutter. So eat this guy.
a trick that I've never seen used in a speed run to date, is the swallowing in the air. when you have an enemy in your mouth, rather than waiting to hit the ground, you can press the "A" button to swallow in the air. This is important for the next trick.
when copying a power, kirby sometimes demonstrates his attack, in this case, throwing a cutter blade. Although not known well, this cutter blade will actually count as an attack, and can damage enemies or break blocks. when you swallow in the air, be sure to be lined up with the block in the above picture. this way, when kirby shoots his blade, it will destroy the block without having to make a seperate jump and waste time.
next go down here.
This is where a great trick comes into play. Stand at the very left side of the wall, and while holding a turbo button for the "Y" button, use kirby's down cutter attack. this will make kirby go through the floor, rather than go all the way to the proper entrance, which will save a ton of time.
That is all I have so far. Maybe this will motivate someone to work on a stratagy too. More as I finish it.[/img]
I accidentally forgot to uncheck "Always use this file to open .lua files", and I accidentally clicked OK and then I can't go back. The old Kirby Super Star lua script
didn't work.
Besides, what emulator do I use to play the 100% WIP? Mine desyncs no matter if it's WIP1 timing or not.
EDIT: Never mind. You need WIP1 to make the movie sync.
I did downloaded the Japanese ROM, and tinkered with the Up+Down glitches, and if you hold Up+Down on the ground with YoYo, you can make Kirby do a Vertical Spin (attack) without letting go.
