SMW challenge from nathanisbored: In Chocolate Island 4, defeat the Chuck at the end with Yoshi fireballs. Grabbing a power up during the level is not permitted, and entering the bonus room isn't necessary.

Well, nathanisbored told me he was able to do this without tool-assistance, but I used a lot of tool-assistance during the block cloning and some other things, so I'm pretty sure this isn't the same solution he came up with, but it's still a solution! (Yes, I TAS-ed this, but I'm happy I figured it out at all!)

I'll try to explain this in a way that makes sense. First, I revealed the P-switch, then I cleared out the moles so they wouldn't interfere later, then I block cloned the flower block ten times (but without collecting any of the flowers, of course). Then, I ate the P-switch (I don't think stomping it first was necessary), then I hit the flower block again and then immediately spit out the item which was in Yoshi's mouth. It looks like a shell, but it's actually a flower in its stunned state, and by spitting it out immediately after opening up the flower block for the 11th time (which replaced the P-switch sprite with that flower), the "shell" will be in an action state, which will cause it to spawn a green parakoopa very shortly. However, I then needed to quickly scroll all those other flowers offscreen so they despawn (since collecting them was forbidden), so that the sprite limit won't prevent the parakoopa from appearing.

With me so far? Next, I take that parakoopa's shell, and use it to block clone a turn block so it overlaps half of a Yoshi coin, and then when the turn block stops spinning, I collect the Yoshi coin. This causes an invisible ? block that holds wings to replace that turn block. Next, I repeatedly block clone that wings block to the left so that I get ten keys, then grab a key that's not in the second division (so any key that's not one of the first two), and get rid of it, opening up one first division slot so that the goal can appear (I think that's how that works anyway). Then, I eat the green shell, go over to the goal, then spit out the green shell, which actually got replaced by the goal, so I actually spit out the goal, which looks like a key, and will shortly spawn a red parakoopa. Next, I make sure Chuck has despawned so that the red parakoopa can appear. Then, I eat the red parakoopa, and scroll the screen to make the "goal key" despawn so that Chuck can reappear so I can fry him using Yoshi fireballs (however, I have to make sure the goal doesn't respawn before I spit out the fireballs, or it'll replace the Chuck).

Did you understand all that? If you didn't, don't worry. I typed all of that out and I'm still not sure I understand it myself! I'm sure nathanisbored can explain it better and/or correct any inaccuracies that I probably made in that explanation!
