[11B] Super Mario 64 DS 80 Star Speed Run in 1:27:36 (Part 11B of 12)
24This is the eleventh (Part B) segment of the SDA run on Super Mario 64 DS.
I am uploading special versions of the SDA videos just to show the file select screen too.
2014 edit:
Years has gone passed since this run existed and a better run can be done in around 1:19. Various reasons include:
1) DS capture device. The runs are now directly recorded. This enables the players to play the game without having to use an insane camera setup to show the footage in good quality.
2) Less saves = more time saved. If you save the game and end the segment, you warp back outside the castle entrance, this costs a bit of time than entering a course and use "Exit course" command.
3) Faster strats/route = A faster route is probably possible thanks to having more people speed running the game. The more brains you have in a community, the faster the polish rate of having a good speed run.
This is what I've said in my run comments:
Star 70: Toad's Star (2 of 3)
Star 71: Tiny Huge Island (THI): Switch Star on the Island.
There was 1 small mistake with Luigi's Back flip but it was acceptable overall. There is a good timesaver with the Koopa shell but it's incredibly risky if I mess it up. So I did the safer way of getting into Wiggler's Cave.
Star 72: THI: Pluck the Piranha Flower:
I'm aware that you can defeat these without the mushroom but the main thing is that if I get hit too many times it's obviously going to be slower than getting the mushroom. The main advantage with the Mushroom is that there is no recovery lag after killing a giant Piranha Flower and the game only allows 2 Piranhas on the area at the same time.
*The DS version has 3 poles added; one of them contains a Super Mushroom.
* The jumps around the piranha plants are normal like everywhere else in the game.
Star 73: THI: The Tip Top of the Huge Island:
I did pretty good on this star. There was a Back flip after the Triple Jump + Dive combo to proceed to the star and avoid Chuckya at the same time.
Star 74: Wet-Dry World (WDW) Top O' The Town
Set the tide to high, which made this star easy to get. The long jumps were slightly messed up so I lost a second at least, if I fell into the water its instant reset.
*The star is no longer in a Yellow ! Box and the spinning platforms spins way slower on the DS version.
Star 75: WDW: Shocking Arrow Lifts:
Low tide and warp shortcut made this star really easy to get.
Star 76: WDW: Quick Race Through Downtown!
I set the tides to low to reduce swimming time when going Downtown. There is nothing much else to say.
Star 77: WDW: Express Elevator --- Hurry Up!
I set my tide to medium to get a quicker start. I tried the actual elevator when testing this star and it goes down way too slow, wait and then go up slowly, so the invisibility shortcut is faster.
Star 78 Toad Star (3 of 3)
The last Castle Secret star I get for the 80 star run.
Star 79: RR Swingin' The Breeze:
This star could be quicker for the back flip set up but it was still good. I think that it's faster to go through the flames because waiting for the turret to stop takes a while and back flip over it takes a while for Luigi to land because he'll be in Roflcopter mode.
SOI SOI SOI (in other words when Luigi is spinning you can't cancel it to a ground pound for quicker landing).
Star 80: RR: Tricky Triangles!
Another star obtained quickly with the Luigi Flip. I set the camera in a 2D way to make my jumps easier on the Triangle platform section.
The only notable improvements are the 2 Tiny Huge stars but it requires a lot of risk to get it done right. A 15 minute segment on 20 stars is pretty good.
