This guide explains how to beat the infamous staff ghost and how to achieve sub29.

Previously, I thought that this competition was best done with mash (in theory, mash is best), but I realized that it is best to keep pressing alternately.

1. Character

Yoshi

I use Yoshi because of his good acceleration and speed.

2. Play Style

I would recommend playing in ghost mode and Because you will see where you could have saved yourself some time!

There are various ways

・Do it while holding the DS

・Do it while standing the DS

I think most people do it in these two ways.

Here is how I do it

Place the DS face down in the Switch case.

As long as you can place the DS, it doesn't have to be a Switch case.

This method makes it easy to press alternately, but there is a fatal problem. You can't see the screen.

So when you're running, decide whether to turn by listening to the character's voice.

It is also recommended to listen to the sound effects when sliding on ice to get a sense of the timing of your turns.

3. How to do it

There are two main ways

• Mash

• Press alternately to the rhythm

I think most people do it with mash

In theory, mashing is indeed faster. But pressing the buttons alternately is very difficult.

So I recommend the normal alternating press.

4. Strategy

Just keep pressing the RL buttons alternately

According to the TAS creators, if you alternate quickly enough, you don't need a boost after the curve - it's the final boost that matters.

Replay using only the final boost

・Curve 1

First, just keep pressing the buttons alternately until you reach the curve.

As soon as you hear Yoshi's voice when you reach the curve, press L and mash R.

When you hear the sound, press the RL buttons at the same time, and immediately keep pressing the RL buttons alternately.

・Curve 2

As with Curve 1, as soon as you hear Yoshi's voice, press and hold the L button and press the R button repeatedly.

You don't need to activate the boost here.

I think it would save you time if you activated it, but for some reason if you activate the boost here, you lose time, and conversely, not activating it saves you time.

Just keep pressing the buttons alternately until the last boost. Hold the buttons alternately for about a second, then press RL and the boost will activate and you'll reach the finish line.

The boost here will take practice.

・Glitch

There is a fatal glitch in this event.

If you hold down the L button and mash the R button, it will be faster than pressing it alternately.

However, this glitch only applies to TAS.

At first I tried pressing the buttons alternately as a joke and was able to beat my record, so I realized that trying this method was a good idea after that.

If you use this method, I think you'll be able to beat the staff ghost and achieve a sub29 time.
