Hey guys, i have played this game casualy and i really liked it. I wanna join the speedrun Community and I wanna try some any runs. My problem is, i dont know how to skip T2!? But you guys know it, can you explain this skip in depth so I can understand it??? Thanks to everyone who help me ^^

You needed to get a star ( Eddie ) , we get eddie because its the fastest star , you can't skip turotial 2 because if you got 0 star , it has infinite live , so you even you died more then 100 times it still can't work .

Hey ^^ There is an explanation of the skip in depth :)

How to perform T2Skip (Tutorial 2 Skip):

  • You have to unlock rocket & turbo.
  • And then, you have to game over to come back to the castle without having collected the Tutorial 2 Star.

Rocket & Turbo are unlocked on the frame the key is obtained. That means that you have to game over anywhere you are able to after having collected the key.

Also you have to collect a star before going into Bowser 1, otherwise your life count that's originally at the value of 5, will be reset to 5 after each death, therefore making it infinite.

So how I originally found that trick, is by collecting the key in Bowser 1, then going in Tutorial 2 and killing Mario in the first hole you see multiple times, provoking a game-over and warping Mario back to the castle.

But then we noticed that dying in BT1 is faster than dying in Tutorial 2. Because of that we decided to kill Mario 4 times in the void that's on the left of the first Bowser Trap, setting Mario's life count to 0, and then collect the key and kill Mario one last time in Tutorial 2 to make him come back to the castle. You can do it that way, it's easy ^^

But then again, TheMilkGirl47 discovered a way to provoke T2Skip in Bowser 1 by cancelling the key animation that brings Mario to Tutorial 2 but still unlock Rocket & Turbo. That's how we do it in WR speedruns. The best setup that we use to do that works this way: you have to kill Bowser, stand at the position where the key will spawn, and then, when it spawns, hold down and P, which will make Mario duck and make the key disappear, then unpause and hold the inputs necessary to do a backflip (up-right or up-left depending on the direction Mario's facing). This is the fastest method.

That's it ^^ I hope that was not too in-depth xD

Not sure if this is actually much faster, seeing as it was meant for Hover%, but you can go straight to the Endless Stairs or whatever (final bowser fight) really quickly by doing weird out of bounds stuff, which skips tutorial 2. You can get FLUDD before even collecting 1 shine.
