I have lost so many runs to the 50 star blj

New Brunswick, Canada

For gods sake I have to be doing this wrong. My goal is sub 30 16 star, whenever I get a good number (imo) like 18 minutes and on the stairs I spend the next 12 minutes on them. This is getting so annoying. Its like trying to win the lotto. Does anyone know why I sometimes get it first try and sometimes don't get it after 10+ minutes? I have mashed as fast as I can one time. Another time I waited for Mario to land. I just don't get it, please help

you just have to get the feel for the 50 star door. (its basically BlessRNG even if youre good)

i might be wrong, but i think it's depended on your angle when you hit the stairs, it's not about mashing as fast as you can, you have to get a certain angle and mash when you think you've landed on the stairs. Some people might disagree with me on this.

A problem some people have is they let go of Z, Even though your supposed to keep holding it. My strategy is to just mash A with my index finger as soon as I hit the stairs.

Replacing Expiring Twitch VODs

If you wish to replace your twitch highlights with reuploads, please edit your already verified run rather than deleting the verified run and making a new submission. This makes it a lot easier for us to track which submissions are reuploads and should be less work on your part as well.
