[5] Super Mario 64 DS 80 Star Speed Run in 1:27:36 (Part 5 of 12)
This is the fifth 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
Segment 5 (Stars 19 to 20 and Luigi Key)
This is the only segment where all the tasks I do only exist on the DS version.
Star 19: Boo Fountain Red Coin Star
This star alone nearly had 50 retries to get this one right. Fortunately they all have limited AI so I know where they go before I ground pound them. Sometimes it's usually the first 4 boos that messes up this segment due to bad timing with Mario's Ground pound that sometimes the Boo appears and knocks Mario down, losing loads of seconds.
Star 20: The Secret of Battle Fort (5 Silver stars)
This star went pretty well, the only mistake was after the last silver star that I didn't jump high enough, so Mario had to climb up the block slowly.
Luigi Key: Big Boo Battle:
I have to enter the new area by going into Boo's Mansion first. Then work my way through to enter the Luigi Portrait. The next part is easy and the order is:
Right, left, right and left. This should take Mario to the pre-boss room and that part went well too. Next I got move next to the mirror and then wait, this is not a mistake.
Mario's reflection then suddenly changes to Luigi and Big (King) Boo appears, this battle went pretty well and I look from one side of the room to track down Boo's positions.
