hey guys. just wondering. is there a way tp beat this game fast with a small amount of stars (0, 1, etc) or do you need 70. hit me back
Hello NEVERDOORS, I am glad you asked! It is possible to beat the game on a save file with 0 stars. We will call this file "File B". First, you'll need a different file which has access to Bowser in the Sky (the Bowser stage at the top of the staircase behind the 70 star door). We will call this file "File A".
Once the above requirements have been met, you may enter Bowser in the Sky on the above file mentioned which we called "File A". After doing so, press Tab and choose "Exit to Main Menu"!
Open "File B" (the one you want to use to beat the game!) and active a respawn without entering any stages! The easiest and fastest place to do this is outside Jolly Roger Bay (check out my recent Big Pianta RTA speedrun in 21.78s for an example!). You'll notice something exciting: you respawn right outside the entrance to Bowser in the Sky! This is because that location was set as the respawn location while playing on "File A", and the respawn location was never updated before triggering a respawn on "File B".
You can now proceed to beat the game by defeating Bowser at the end of the Bowser in the Sky stage! Without performing any other tricks at this point, you'll be stuck with only the pistol (uh-oh!), but there are a few strategies to get a better weapon before the face off with Bowser.
