Nice! I especially liked the Rainbow Road one. Edit in response to Kyman, below: D'oh! You're right. I guess I call it Rainbow Road because I hated Rainbow Ride when I played Mario 64 (crappy music, annoying level design) and so never bothered to pay much attention to its name, whereas Rainbow Road was quite awesome in SMK.

Why does everyone always call it rainbow road? It's rainbow ride. Rainbow road is from the mario kart series :P

Maybe people wouldn't call it Rainbow Road so much if the level didn't have a road made of rainbows in it.

The way I see it, Rainbow Road is a road that you "drive" on, such as Mario Kart. Rainbow ride, on the other hand, has rainbows that you "ride" on. There's a huge difference between the two.

Sure Nintendo has a rainbow fetish of some sort. However, amazing stuff, Johannes, like always =]

The Rainbow Ride on is my favourite freerun. The Kyman's strat is amazing and the wall kick trick is wonderful.

Could that blj into and out of water trick be of any use in a 120 star run?

I would guess so, namely for the 4 chests star as seen in the video.

Can you keep the momentum through doors, cutscenes etc, or only in the water?

I'm running out of words. Is "awesome" enough? I don't think so.

Did you plan all this out, or did you just went with the flow?

I'm just going to throw out some ideas. Out of curiosity, can you transfer this momentum outside of the castle? Possibly by saving and quitting or something similar? I assume it was already confirmed that the momentum can't be regained after grabbing a star. Perhaps BLJ into a chuckya and preserve momentum after being thrown (probably not useful.) Maybe BLJ into a painting of a world we normally can't get good speed in and be able to preserve it. Hyperspeed in BoB exit, out into WF, preserve momentum into WF stage? Through keydoors?

I can confirm you can't keep momentum through paintings or bowser course entries. EDIT: Key doors don't work either

does it work on key doors after you've unlocked them? or death?, for example, if you die with enough speed.

I found that you can c up into the lakitu cutscene at the start of the game and do a jump dive and land on the roof. I'll upload in a bit. It doesn't work if you don't c up off of a hill and go forwards into it. EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67OcmwV4ML0

What has been said before-particularly, the reverse shellride was stylish above. Nice editing, too. In total: Tool-assisted superplay Mario.
