This is the seventh (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 38: Toad Star 1 of 3
Talk to Toad, gets Star!!

Star 39: Hazy Maze Cave (HMC) A-MAZ-ING Emergency Exit
2 ways to get this star quickly, a triple jump as Luigi from the Black Block or a wall jump as Mario, As Luigi, I did the triple jump method and no screw ups were made.

Star 40: HMC: Navigating the Toxic Maze
With the Flower nearby I can use Luigi invisible powers to skip the toxic maze by first getting the flower then going to the left half of the course I can go through the invisible fence.

Star 41: HMC: Swimming Beast In The Cavern
This star went pretty well. I lost a few seconds as Capped Wario trying to prepare for a long jump because Wario is the slowest swimmer of the 4 and his Long Jump is a good time saver.
*The Out of Bounds shortcut is removed on the DS version.
* The star is now hidden inside the idle rock, you need Wario's physical power to break it and obtain the star that way.

Star 42: HMC: Watch for rolling rocks.
Very good and the star appears after a few seconds destroying the rolling rocks.
* This star is now hidden in one of the rolling rocks.
* To destroy these ones you need the Super Mushroom by becoming Wario and destroy the Black block in that area to obtain the power up.

Star 43: HMC: Metal-Head Wario Can move.
I think it's faster to get the Wario cap near the starting area mainly because the back track is minimal, and Wario's Long Jumps are not too slow. If I got it from the Beast I would lose loads of time on the swimming and going up the slope to get the Red ? Box.
Invisible Luigi can't go through these fence doors.
*The Ground Pound trick to hit the switch cannot be done on the DS version.

Star 44: HMC: Secret Switch Star.
This is another good star performance. The only improvement is to hit the switch then go back to Luigi (not the other way round) but I did the slower method mainly because if I screw up the triple jump, I got a bit more time to do it again on this late part of the segment.

Star 45: Behind the Waterfalls New star.
Quite a lengthy one and didn't do mainly Long Jumps in this area mainly because of the Flying Snifits shooting bullets and the rapid water currents that can push Luigi back.
*This new star replaces the Metal Cap Switch on the N64 version.
* Sadly the DS version requires entering the level twice to get everything the player needs (Red Coin star and the new/hidden star).
