Hey guys, I'm trying to get into smw speedrun (11 exit) since a few weeks and i'm getting stuck on some levels due to some technical/methods issues. What's up with the swimming technics? When I watch some races, especially for Star World 2, I notice that they can swin at full speed in an horizontal way or even while going down. But when I try to do it myself, Mario goes automatically upward so I have to input down which slows him. And how do you Smashola glitch? I managed to do it while messing around but that's just a 5% ratio which is definitly not ok for speedruning. I also can't find any guide for the Bowser fight (with cloud). Of course I did search a lot through the internet but couldn't find my answers! I hope you'll be able to help me, see ya! |

Now I don't run this game extremely well, so I'm not a pro, but I can tell you things that I do know. So lets assume you have the cape on the whole run starting in Donut Plains 1. The swimming: Also, holding baby yoshi automatically get you to start swimming full speed, so there's no need to hold the forward button. This is useful for when you need to start moving downwards to get to the key, so you could just spam the down button without having to worry about losing your forward speed. And finally, you could spam the swim button (A or 😎 to gain a little bit of height when it's necessary. Smashola? Do you mean the zip trick going through the spinning breakable blocks?: I don't quite know anything about the bowser fight with the cloud unfortunately. But I think it goes that you have to jump into it and stay directly above bowser. This allows the game to act like you have jumped on the mecha-koopa that he throws out, which hits bowser immediately. However, this portion is just something I've seen on video. I'm not sure of the timing or anything, and you could look at the world record run of this to find out things like timing and positions. Does any of this help? 🙂 |

Hey, thanks for the answers. I've found the spinning while holding a shell or yoshi or anything watching wr race. But when I don't press forward, I don't swin max speed at all, I go upward so I have to press down not to hit the top of the level which slows me down. Yes I was talking about this zip glitch. Yeah pretty much everything I understood of the Bowser fight is from wr race and other sub 11 ones. Thank you very much though! [Edit] Tried the smashola glitch, when I succeed, I zip too far left and miss the key, falling down, and ruining the run haha |

Hey! That's what I thought for the swimming thing. So how can runners don't be slowed down in star world 2 while swimming forward or downward? Allright I'll keep practicing this and will give you guys updates, thanks. Well this is exactly what I needed! I won't say that's an "easy" fight but I'll definitly train it like this and maybe after a few hours I'll change my mind, thanks again! |

yes, mario does swim upward when holding an object. |
