Would anyone like to discuss strategies for honing our Boss Bash skills? I have a few ideas I'd like to share in a more permanent, public place than the Discord.

Here's what I know:

Feed and Seed - I have literally no idea how to go any faster. The lowest I've ever gotten is 1:07.60, but it usually falls around 1:07.7 or 8 for me. I do my best to get frame-perfect drops at 0:18s, 0:41.5s, and 1:05s, but I can't seem to break the barrier.

Hammer Chime - I honestly think this is straightforward RNG and skill, nothing super complicated or manipable here. Any ideas?

Hexoskeleton - All RNG based as far as I can tell. Any Manip tactics here?

Book Bash - No clue. I'm not certain, but I'm beginning to think that the number of books shot with ink MAY have something to do with Kamek's movement RNG. Also, any ways to improve mashing?

Bowser's Block Party - I have recently realized the fastest way to get Bowser to slow down is to run to either the 1 or 2 o'clock position on the map. Wait for him to slow down, punch away, then when he transforms into the snake, rush the head and get one or two punches in. Wait for fireballs to pass through center of the map, following close behind the last one, then mash away. I have never hit this perfectly, but I think this could bring it under 32s if done perfectly.

I found holding up-left until you hit the edge of the arena works well too for the first phase of Bowser's Block Party. You then just stay there until Bowser falls down. I have nothing to add for all the other minigames.

The fastest way would be to go 12 o'clock, right behind bowser. It's the shortest distance for him to go before he hits the wall.

Also, you shouldn't mash on Kamek. You should (as of my understanding) hold until 2 shots are fired automatically, and click right after, and repeat. So it should be three shots at a time. Kinda hard to explain, but by watching some top runs, you can see what they do, and try to copy. You should also start holding after taking damage going into the third phase, and in the cutscene going into the first scene. You then do the same strat as before, but you want to get in 4 total shots, then doing the normal strat. Because Kamek needs 10 shots each phase, getting 4, 3, and 3 is significantly faster than 3, 3, 3 and 1. Hope this helps (and yes, i do realise his post is 2 years old, but mabye other people will see and use this 😭🔥🔥💯)

Edit: Not that important, but you CAN damage boost on the first phase of Bowser just before he falls down, to start hitting him quicker. When you practice it a bit, it is a much safer strat than to wait for him to fall, and then running to hit him.
