just in the middle of 1 star any% runs, but stratosfear decided to illegally co-op posting this as a thread instead of a submission because it'd be completely unfair and probably rejected anyways lol
i don't know exactly why this would happen, but it happened immediately after i struck a new WR (which i was trying to see if i could get better times) edit: it happened AGAIN on a stratosfear run, this cheater can't keep getting away with this
This is called Stratosfear Warp. It's the funniest trick in the game because it allows us to skip the final boss, but we can only set it up by killing the final boss.
To explain this with extremely basic vocabulary, if you take the warp under the arena fast enough after killing Stratosfear, then the warp in the center of the arena doesn't disappear and can be kept for later use.
This is only useful during 80 Star runs, as that is the only category that requires you to fight the final boss more than once.
ooo i gotcha, i thought it had something to do with the warp under the arena since it only happened when i started doing that trick thanks for the insight :P
