Super Mario Maker 2 - Ninji Speedrun: Cannon Box Blast! (0.38.859)
2A small disclaimer, I always do these runs completely blind. I prefer finding the fastest path on my own rather than looking up the best strats -- not that there's anything wrong with that.
Kinda hated this level at first, but I started warming up to it after spending some time on it. Not generally a huge fan of the 3D World theme, so that's probably why I had such a negative initial reaction.
I'm fairly sure I could have gotten a faster time had I tried spending more time optimizing the POW and end bit, but my main goal was to go below 40 seconds, so I'm content with this.
Procrastinated quite a bit with this one, I'm uploading this like 40 minutes after doing this, so there was like 21 hours left on the speedrun. I've been distracted by Agents of Mayhem the past couple weeks.
Honestly, I'm quite surprised this video doesn't look as terrible as the 35th Anniversary run did. I still had to use HandBrake to re-encode it, because the capture device and/or its accompanying software is terrible. It could be because I recorded this directly to the SSD instead of my WD Black, though the device uses USB 2.0, so I wouldn't have expected the difference to be so severe.
Still thinking about uploading the other runs I have. There are many missing runs though, because I didn't think to record the first 4 levels and I'd sent my capture device in for a replacement after Headgear Hustle. It took me several months for the replacement to arrive, so I was unable to record the 3 runs between "Headgear Hustle" and "Big Shoes Gustin' in the Desert", meaning I'm missing 7 of the 15 runs made thus far.
