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? Does Mario goes upward when holding a shell (or anything else) or is it just me?

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!

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. I run on ntsa version, do I have to run on japanese one?

Yes I was talking about this zip glitch. I'll try to train this as you told me, I was thinking about more inputs tbh ;)

Yeah pretty much everything I understood of the Bowser fight is from wr race and other sub 11 ones. So I understood the fact that I have to stay above bowser (even if I get hit sometimes) and I also have to stay in the top left corner in order to skip some animation but it's not very clear yet. That's why I need complementary informations :)

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 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. So, I learnt every level routes but I have some questions.

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!
