I was watching Nicobbq's newest video which involved beating the game while Bowser is always awake, and he actually beat the game with 43 shines.

Here's the clip: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugxbw6xz-FuXncyN_el4AaABCQ

And here is the full video:

fun fact: sometimes when you change a core mechanic of a game it causes the game to do an oopsie-daisy and do things it's not supposed to do.

This has been the strategy for any% bowser amiibo categories since a week or two after launch. See https://www.speedrun.com/sm3dw_bf/run/zn1ex38m and https://www.speedrun.com/sm3dw_bfce/run/zp3wvqnm

And Low%

Low% is just any% yes amiibo, but without the amiibo.

U can beat it in 40

Ya, if the fury thing is happening when you get a shine, bowser takes damage allowing you to skip fury 2 and 4.
