CLess with Luigi (also works with Mario, very likely works with every other character)

As you all may already know, Cannonless has been pretty hard to find a setup that works with every character for. The sockfolder setup doesn't work because everyone turns around differently from Mario(¤), and while Yoshi can just flutter jump to grab the star, nobody else really has a method of reliably getting CLess.

Until now.

This video is proof that at least Luigi has a CLess strat he can use, and I have tested to ensure this works with Mario as well. It is a very precise long jump, but since it involves your character slowing down, it is very likely able to work with every character, with varying long jump timings.

What you do is ensure that your camera angle matches the one shown in the video, start running onto the fall down blocks, long jump in the manner shown in the latter bit of the video (make sure you slow down during the long jump, as you will overshoot if you do not), land on the wooden plank, and hit the seam of the polygon for the wall.

If done correctly, you will successfully perform this CLess strat, and get the star in the wall.

¤REASON FOR WHY SOCKFOLDER SETUP DOES NOT WORK WITH ANYONE BUT MARIO: The sockfolder setup, as you know, requires very specific inputs that are precisely tailored to Mario's physics. Since every other character has different physics, it is much more difficult to see where to line up for the different characters. For example; in the latter part of the setup, Mario gets up from his ledge grab on the plank. Then he turns around in a half circle and lands into the star. However, this turning arc is very important; only Mario has this specific turning arc. Everyone else's ground speeds and accelerations are different, making this trick very hard to complete as they all turn around in different diameters. This isn't even taking into account the varying backflip heights across the characters.

MCSC Explanation

As you may know or not, MCSC stands for "Multi Character Star Cancel". Star canceling is a glitch performed by Rosalina. By spinning into the star, the game doesn't play the star cutscene. This is most likely because that the games stars weren't meant to be collected with such moves as spinning with Rosalina. So, the run is basically where you try to beat the game whilest star canceling and switching from your character to Rosalina for each star.

Solo / Co-op 31 Star Routing

The stars are listed in order of which to get them. Stars were found by the average player's time to get them at each individual speed for each star. It may seem bad but it's very accurate, having completed a test run with these routes, playing as Yoshi, in under 30 minutes. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Pjay96bb031WOXT8CbYjYaagArjCmDAu5-IVg2QbwmQ/edit?usp=sharing

The Best Versions to Speedrun On (Download links for both)

There are two versions of this mod that people use to speedrun. 1.3.1 and 2.4

TLDR: 1.3.1 when you need headbounce clip or want to use non-mario characters without changing your graphics plugin to Napalm WX. 2.4 if you need to prevent wingcap crash or play sonic, knuckles, kirby, or goomba.

# 1.3.1
Download link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NpKnrDNqP49v88mQ33noxnSAC1PK-YqR

- Headbounce clip is possible. This is a very fast way to clip through Dark World and Fire Sea bowser doors and is frequently used for these doors. This can be very important if you have many players playing and need to open up basement/upstairs before 8/30 stars.
- Sonic, knuckles, kirby, and goomba are not in this version
- Can use any graphics plugin, even when playing other characters
- Can use most N64 emulators
- Wingcap Crash can occur (a crash that has about a 50% chance to happen if a star is spawned while wearing a wingcap in certain stages, but only really happens during BOB secrets/BOB shoot to the island)

# 2.4
Download link: https://github.com/Tarnadas/net64plus/releases

- Wingcap Crash is fixed
- Headbounce clip is impossible.
- Sonic, knuckles, kirby, and goomba are playable
- Is forced to use Project64MM emulator (packaged with the download)
- Is forced to use Glide Napalm WX graphics plugin if any character other than Mario is being played by anyone in the server. (Game will crash otherwise) You can use any graphics plugin if only Mario is being played.

The Two Major SM64O Exclusive Tricks (Dpad Cancel and Headbounce Clip)

There are two major exploits in SM64O that don't exist in vanilla SM64. These are Dpad Cancelling and Headbounce Clipping. Here I'll detail what they are, their uses, and how to perform them. I may make a video in the future.

# Headbounce Clip
THIS TRICK CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED ON PRE 2.0 VERSIONS (1.0, 1.3.1, etc.)
Headbounce Clipping is essentially jumping on someone's head in a specific way to clip through the 8, 30, and 50 star doors. People rarely use it for the 50 star door, but it's extremely useful for the 8 and 30 doors as this allows you to collect keys near the start of the run, opening up the entire castle for faster routing.

This clip is actually very easy to perform. It requires two people and can be done with all characters in the game, but is made nearly obsolete if you have a Knuckles or Sonic on your team as they can clip through these doors easily by using their climb/spindash. To do it, the player wanting to clip through the door must push against it, aiming directly into the center of the door. The other player's job is more tricky. They must jump on the first player's head, but try to remain as far away from the door as possible. As you hit their head, go neutral on the stick so you don't grab the top of the door and fall down. The clip should happen within the first couple bounces. If it doesn't, dismount and jump again. The direction the second player is facing shouldn't matter.

Example: https://youtu.be/NzoexkhacDA?t=67 (at 1:07)
You can see here that Banana was too far forward the first attempt as he grabbed the ledge on the wall, and was poorly positioned horizontally too as he kept pushing Klobb left and right of the door's center. The second attempt had great positioning and instantly clipped.

# Dpad Cancel
Dpad Cancelling uses the sleeping emote to cancel a ton of animations and text boxes in the game by pressing/holding dpad right at specific times. This trick is extremely useful but can be tricky to get used to. It can be done on all versions of SM64O/Net64 and can be done by any character. It can save well over a minute in 70 star and around 2 minutes in 120 star if done optimally.

The execution of this trick is very simple, but it's used so often in the run that people can forget to do it, especially seasoned vanilla runners. As mentioned, it simply involves pressing or holding dpad right in specific instances to cancel animations, and I'll list all the currently known ones here:

__Save Prompt Cancel:__
Whenever you exit a stage, you can hold dpad right to automatically choose the option you last chose in the save prompt, saving 0.8 seconds per cancel. You can stop holding the button as soon as Mario hits the ground after jumping out of the stage. There are 3 major issues with this trick that people encounter very often. 
1. Because of the way the game stores your last chosen option, if you do this on the first star of the run, the game won't have a previously selected option and will just freeze. So always select "Continue and Don't Save" on the first star. 
2. Exiting a course will move this stored option to "Save and Quit" (both are the second menu option), so using a Save Prompt Cancel the star after you exit course will save and quit instead of skipping the save prompt. This is a super common time loss as people are just used to pressing dpad right when exiting a stage. The obvious fix is to just press "Continue and Don't Save" again after exiting course, but muscle memory makes this hard.
3. Holding the button too early (before the transition to black ends) will crash the game. This is pretty easy to avoid as you shouldn't be holding the button until Mario's closer to hitting the ground, but can happen if you're not paying attention.

__Star Door Animation Cancel:__
When you walk into a door with a star requirement, an animation will play where Mario puts a star over his head, unlocking the door. If you press dpad right at any point in this animation, it will cut the animation time in half, saving a few seconds. You actually don't want to hold dpad right on this one, as it will delay the cancel until you let go of it. Pressing it once at any point during the generous window is sufficient.

__Fast Ground Pound:__
When you press Z for a ground pound, you'll do a spin animation in mid-air. If you press dpad right at any point during this animation, you'll skip it, instantly falling to the ground. You can also just hold dpad right before and during the Z press to skip the entire animation. This is basically useful anywhere you ground pound.

__Door Close Cancel:__
When a rotating door leads you to a new area (entering castle for the first time, entering boo courtyard, exiting CCM house, entering basement through key door, etc.), you can hold dpad right before the transition to black to cancel the animation of the door closing. This saves a couple seconds each time, but requires you to move quickly to take advantage of it. This is why using your left thumb for this trick isn't advised. Also keep in mind that you must hold dpad right earlier than you'd think, right around when Mario first enters the door on the other side.

__Bounceless Lava Boost:__
When Mario hits lava, he boosts up. If you then land on the ground, he'll bounce a couple times before regaining control. If you're holding dpad right as he lands, you can skip these bounces and regain control faster.

__Wingcap Text Cancel:__
As you enter wingcap stage, press dpad right any time before the text box appears to skip it entirely. If you hold dpad right before the transition, Mario's model will get really messed up until he hits the ground again. This honestly isn't a big deal, and actually can make it easier to collect the coins as it sorta reflects Mario's flying hitbox a little better. Most people would rather just press instead of hold however.
