70 star routing question
1 year ago
Arkansas, USA

In the TAS, the route is a little weird, it skips CCM 100, and does the slide normally. It replaces the penquin race with doing pillarless twice like usual, then replaces the 100 coin star itself, with toxic maze in HMC. Speaking of HMC, it does HMC early, and replaces the second mips with wigler's reds in THI. I noticed that we enter HMC after upstairs, and grab the second mips star instead of wigler's reds, and because we are more tightly bound to the 30 star requirement, we have to get CCM 100. If the TAS does it then is is no doubt faster, but it doesn't seem like that difficult of a change, and so I wanted to know why our route is different? It's not like the TAS does some TAS only trick for the replacement stars, and entering DDD from HMC offers a faster entry to DDD because we can use the vanish cap door. I think we should use this early HMC route, but I want to know why we don't. Again, it doesn't seem like that difficult of a routing change.

the tas is 10 years old and uses an outdated route that is slower, its as simple as that

Netherlands

uhm we do HMC late so we can get mips 2 which even tho the extra castle movement probably saves like 20/30 sec, also yeah the TAS is just old

Switzerland

I heard it saves like 1 second (I think simply said it)
