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.
