California, USAThe run would take longer if you had to die from damage, but it's still pretty fast, as you can die from Topper.
@linny356 For the "Selected" category are you saying that the runners make their own rules for the categroy?
Because that wouldn't end well
nobody fixed it
I think it would be cool if there was a speedrun that had to do with the new dimensions in the snapshot
Lost and Moon can't be accessed through paintings either
can somebody fix that
What do you do if your category has two different subcategories?
I ended the timing when spewart exploded. Though, maybe I should've ended it when I collected the moon
@GhostCode Nice run! It's a lot better than mine. (But that's mainly because I died so many times fighting Mechabroodal)
In my run I took the painting in Lake to Luncheon, where I fight Spewart. It's slightly faster because going from kingdom to kingdom by painting is faster than through the odyssey.
Something I didn't do when preparing my run was get the plaza checkpoint in luncheon. That's another way that makes luncheon faster than wooded, because getting to Spewart from the plaza is faster than jumping from the checkpoint in the sky garden.
@Adamsmo134 Are you not reading what we've been saying? The run is more creative when you're allowed to start from a prepared save file instead of an empty one. Starting from an empty file makes the run too similar to world peace.
Okay, here's my run. I spent way too long trying to defeat the mechabroodal. I would've reset, but I forgot to put my save onto other files, so I was stuck with this terrible run. I defeat Mechabroodal at 21:09 so skip to that if you don't want to see my many attempts on defeating it.
What I do is I do a trick jump from a place near spewart to an island in the lava, then I get the checkpoint to regain my health (The jump involves jumping on lava) and do another trick jump to get to a door with a subarea. After that, I can get to the plaza.
The first trick jump starts by doing a cappy roll jump, then a cap dive. Once your a little closer to the lava, do a homing cap throw spin. Once your pretty close to the lava, throw cappy and hold him, then burn Mario's butt on the lava and land on cappy. Repeat the two lines before this until you reach the island.
The same-ish trick is used to get to the subarea door.
I'm uploading my run right now. But, just as a warning, it sucks.
@KilleDragon Wait, nvm you timed it correctly. For some reason when I clicked the video it started when you were fighting Madame Broode
Uhh, @KilleDragon, I don't think you timed it correctly. The timing starts when you load the file.
Only in No Dark Side. In Dark Side it's still faster to do the boss rush in Dark Side.
Does the run have to start from an empty save file, or can you prepare one?
@zMienai It's faster to fight spewart in Luncheon since he's closer and you can take the painting in lake to get there.
