This is the second (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 6 Jolly Roger Bay (JRB): Plunder in the Sunken Ship
I find that Yoshi is faster to reach its destination by going around the water and then jump in to go straight down. Yoshi is the 3rd fastest swimmer, beaten by Mario and Luigi.
*The eel seems to exit the ship quicker than the N64 version and there is only 1 chest required to rise the ship up and getting the star.

Star 7 JRB: Blast to the Stone Pillar
Before you people say, lol Greenalink didn't talk to the pink Bob-omb and opening the cannon. The Bob-omb only appears in stars 2-7 NOT Star 1. I activate the cannon as a time saver for the future stars on Segment 9 and for this one. When reaching to the cannon I think this is the fastest way as Long Jumping is way faster than swimming.
*Nothing much different here, a faithful star.

Star 8 Sunshine Isles: 5 Silver Stars
This one was a good performance, Klepto the Condor is bit an ass sometimes and can usually ruin my segment. There was one small error with my backwards 2nd jump to flutter as I was trying to avoid getting hit. After the 5th Silver Star I don't long jump across where Klepto is flying around as he could come down and knock me off losing a silver star and losing loads of time.
*This is a new level exclusive on the DS. Silver Star tasks require you collect 5 Silver Stars, some are in enemies like Goombas and you can find the stars easily by looking on the touch screen map. If you get hit while having a Silver Star, you will lose one, so it's very important not to get hit at all for speed runs.
(Mario Key) Goomboss Battle
A good pre-boss level performance and an acceptable Goomboss Battle. I didn't do the "tongue underneath Goomboss to swallow small Goombas" trick on the last hit because it's difficult to do against Goomboss massive size and it's 10 minutes into the segment.
*Another new level on the DS version. It has a new boss too. Defeating these bosses gives you a key to unlock your capped heroes (Mario, Luigi and Wario). Goomboss gives you the Mario Key so you can unlock Mario in the Character changing room.
Next I unlock the Mario door (and now playing as Mario).

Star 9 Goomboss Battle Switch Star
Mario is the only character to perform Wall Jumps. So I can get this switch star. Very short and easy, nothing much to say other than it's the last star on that segment.
