This is the eighth 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 8 (Star 46, Bowser 2 Door opens)
Switch to Mario to open the 2nd Big Star Door but I'll do a star that warps Mario closer to the Big Star door after getting it.
Star 46 Princess Secret Slide "!" Box Star
This time I perform the bigger shortcut and it saves 2 or more seconds. The ground pound is less buggy so I can't destroy the box by ground pounding the side of it.
I lost around a second on the way to the big star door mainly because the D-pad input was an absolute pain.
Mario is the only character to unlock the Big Star doors.
I save warp here because, it involves swimming and a Bowser stage also changing to Luigi can complete the water levels quicker
