I was messing around in HMC today curious if i could find a way to climb the hill in the middle of the water area with the star since i still havent gotten the hang of the box triple jump trick. I ended up figuring out how to jump up the slope. Im not a scholar by any means so others may have figured this out and it doesn’t save anytime over the triple box jump but im still curious if this is a new discovery cuz i didnt think you were supposed to be able to get up that slope. There may be other uses of the logic behind this even though this trick itself doesn’t save any time.

I don't think it is, it's being used in 120 star nonstop category extension, but I haven't been able to do it on that slope but I use a similar strat to get DDD sub star on the front sub

this is not a new discovery, it is a known backup in the community and from what I know its used in All ! Boxes WR, it requires like 3 frame perfect jumps but yeah its known

Ah, cool. I kinda figured but had to know for sure. Hadn’t considered using it on the front of bowsers sub, makes sense and explains why i could never get that to work in the past. Thanks guys.
