This segmented run was created to demonstrate a potential time for a near-optimal RTA run using only RTA strats that can realisticly be done during speedruns. Some strats that could've been faster and are RTA viable were not used due to the author of the video not being aware of them or too difficult for him to execute. Despite of that, this run is still a decent source for learning the category.

121 Star in-depth Guide (Work paused)

**(HINT: This guide is still work in progress! It will extend in content and already existing one may or may not change significantly. This will be a very in-depth guide explaining the route to stars and such with a good amount of Detail so anyone can understand and replicate. I will try to embed as many videos as possible (hopefully I get them commentated) so it's easier to see how to collect the stars)**

__**Introduction**__
Hi!
So this will be a guide on how to get 121 stars in Star Revenge 8: Sceptre of Hope. I will try to explain everything with great enough detail so there are no misunderstandings.

__**Begin**__
Make sure File A is clean and restart the game (time starts here). Select your file as fast as you can (obviously). Now after you land on the starting platform go straight in the direction Mario is looking and follow the path to “Earth”. 
Enter the portal. Now jump into the pipe and open the doors in the following order: B-F-C-E-A-B. If done correctly, you will find yourself in a room with a grey switch. Position yourself to the left or right of it and time your double jump like so, that your second jump is on the switch itself (you want to jump into the void to die and come back to the starting area. Diving right after the last jump gives you a bit of extra distance).
Once back you have 2 options: 
1. Follow the path to the first course and enter (fast of course) 
2. Do a quick little long jump over the ledge and die. You will respawn at the starting platform from where you can continue to course 1 (not only is this a bit simpler but it seems it is also the faster method. Haven´t done enough testing though.)

__**Scarlet Devil Mansion**__
Continue straight ahead (on the left side of the houses) and enter course 2. Here you go to the left and into the flower field, break the box and "collect the star".

Due to the next part being a little longer and harder to explain the routing on, here is a video explaining/showing it:

Now after leaving the level you`ll spawn right at the box you jumped in before. Basically you could do any star you want now (except for the 5th because you need a special item for that one) but the best to do now is the 100 coin star. You can watch my 100 Coin Speedrun in this video. It´s really just remembering the route (Although I start from the level entrance the box and the start are close enough together that the difference is negligible).

After you´ve done that start collecting every star in the course (except for the 5th). This link will lead you to my "Sanzu River Fields" Playlist with all the stars. Use these to learn the stars. (I hope to make actual guides for them)
