I think it makes more sense to make a cat which ends after beating bowser the 1st time, in cloud kingdom, as beating him marks the first encounter with Bowser and makes it a sort of a halfway point in the game. This makes more sense instead of ending midway through lost.

I think it would be more reasonable to make sub 1:30 require vid proof, but that wouldnt stop fake runs either....

Do you play 1.2? If so, right below the pool moon in metro' you can get the Luigi hint art, checkout GameXPlain' s video on finding the new hint art for details.

Works, did it just now, also did it with sunshine costumes so

Lol

Lol

@SomeBroYouDontKnow Really? With current stats? Whats the route change?

Yeah, I just mean potential stuff. The game is really new, so I think plenty more things will be found soon. There are so many places jn the run where cool new tech could be applied, so sub 1 hour is humanly gonna be a thing sometime within the next year or so is my guess.

Oh whoops it sent multiple times

The moon is up there, you can get near and hear it

The moon is up there, you can get close normally and hear it

I bet 2P sub 1hr is possible 1.0.0 full optimize

I said TAS because it is horrifically hard, it's not ACTUALLY TAS

You can TAS for a 20 minute time save, here's how: In wooded kingdom, find the painting that goes to luncheon. From the platform, the jump is VERY hard but possible in 1 player, a bit easier in 2P. Once you are over there, you must get to the multimoon iN THE POT by aligning up the unlikable fire bro glitch with turnips and going ALL THE WAY up to the pot. This theory should spawn the Odyssey in the kingdom, as it is normally not there. Get the rest of the necessary moons and continue the story normally, and you saved 20 minutes, skipped cloud, lost, metro, snow, seaside. 41-min best possible time!

The problem with those is they are all one time story specific fights.

What's the worst boss to lose a cycle on?

Oh right, I needa learn advanced Bowser strats... I will look into that. I am also doing some things that are sort of old, like bird on the building in Sand, but they are because of less risk.

So, if I were to optimize the skips listed in my first post on this thread, what things does WR do that makes them 20-ish minutes overall ahead of me?

Yeah, my broodals are more or less optimized. The problem is, its hard to practice story-specific things like Mecha Wiggler and Mecha broodal... I was thinking of adding a few spin pounds here and there to my run?
