United StatesWow, I just spent hours getting good at this level. The pipe entries slipped my mind, sorry if I was a bit over excited. Anyway, back to the drawing board.
I totally agree with you. I am also new to speedrunning, yet even with none of the speedups and bad movement I was still able to get 445, which ties the record for 5-3 with the propeller.
If any top-level runner sees this forum I recommend to them to try out this method!
Recently I found a TAS video of 5-2 being completed with a 449 on the in-game-time, about five mario seconds faster than the optimal 5-3 method. Here it is:
If there technically is a faster way to complete 5-2 than 5-3, why is no one going for it? I don't know if I'm underestimating the difficulty in the helicopter trick, but I really do think this could be the future of insane runs.
Okay, thanks for the tip.
However, I just wanted to say that I tried the goomba trick but it didn't work. I recorded so here it is:
When you say "that will guarantee you can avoid him," do you mean it just increases the chances?
I recently got a pb for a World 1 RTA, and I want to submit but there is one problem. I bumped into the goomba (aka fred) and paused the timer. I unpaused once I reappeared on the world map and continued normally.
I highly doubt it, but is this a legit run?
You should try doing this in an Any% full game run.
