17:15 Bowser's Final Red Challenge

Everyone hold your celebrations! We are not done just yet. I decided I would upload a video with the final 3 stars from B3, and then do the final fight as its own upload. So I have not done fight entry or the fight yet.

With 1 final stage left, I should have been motivated to finally conquer this challenge. But nope, it ended up being the total opposite. I had very little motivation to play at all. B3 is probably the hardest level to get used to in this game. There are only 2 normal stars and both of them are pretty deep in the path. So you have to learn a lot before you have any chance of getting them. Also, I was not ready for how difficult the precision flying section is. If you played this level, you know the one I'm talking about. At first it was like 1% consistent in practice so this level felt impossible. Then I got to 5% consistency and by the time I got up to reds I was probably at around 20%. A jump this difficult being on the main path made me go at this level a different way. I did a lot of practice on the star endings because I did not want to choke after the precision flying. This payed off because I died 2 times after the flying on the first star, no times on the second star, and 1 time on Reds.

Some people might argue whether B1 or B3 is the more difficult Bowser stage in this hack. I am inclined to say B1, but I know more strats and knowledge came out since I played that level nearly 4 years ago. B3 is strange because the reds themselves don't add a lot of difficulty, but the level alone is challenging. I was also super terrified of getting the 23rd red where you need to swoop down with a lot of speed.
