Hey everyone, new to the scene so forgive me if this has been covered before.

Would getting the first white mushroom house with the P power up help save time in a 100% run anywhere?

Thanks!

I think it only costs 15-20 seconds, but that's still too long to make up for any time it can save in a level. But it would save time over a death, if you're able to use it in your early runs to bypass a level you're not comfortable with. The P-wing may prevent your poor plumber finding himself yeeted into a pit or brutally trampled by a minion of Bowser. As you get more comfortable and learn more levels, you can start removing safeties and look forward to getting those time saves in your future runs.

Thank you so much for this answer. Appreciate it a lot.

This topic actually came up in someone's Twitch chat yesterday afternoon, and a handful of runners agreed this is a fine safety to take, and one or two even said they also did this in their early runs.

Also, if you like the idea of white mushroom houses in general, there is a miscellaneous category for an Any% variety of All White Mushroom Houses on the category extensions board. It sort of plays out like an abridged version of the Any% Warpless route, except you can use the warp whistles to leave 3 worlds early after getting the bonus item, and then goes on to finish the game like a normal warpless run. The white mushroom houses are one of my personal favorite things about this game.

shadow always selling white mushroom house%, lol
