Seeing that Pillipe "Wak" Brisson's comment were not translated, I have taken the liberty to translate them myself. I have no idea if someone has already or will translate it, nor if this is the right place to translate it, so do not argue too much. If you mention it, though, I will stop/go to a proper place.

Note: I will only post the translation in a while, so do not start complaining that "it's taking too long" or something like that, beacause the comments are long.

2nd note: Do not complain that my english might be...awkward, beacause I was born french, but learned how to speak english at the age of 5, so no complaining, please.

3rd note: Also, do not complain of any typos, beacause I am only 13, and I have still not mastered typing.

Here it is. I hope you enjoy it, in some way...

For starters, I would like to thank 4 particular people:
Cédérick Thibault, because without him, I would have never gotten the game.
Jonathan Welburn, because without him, the text that you're reading would be in french(yes, I know this is useless)
Mathieu Savard & Nolan Pflung, because without them, my run would have never been recorded on video.

At the beginning, I thought of only taking the original route to have a good run. I didn't really think about the way I would defeat the bosses and the ennemies. Also, while only loosing not longer than 2 minutes(in the whole run) to show my levels, I thought that I would surely die against the "final Bowser", beacause of my low levels and the lack of items that I would have. Finally, it wasn't the case. I also was a bit scared that my run would be longer than 7 hours, what Nolan normally doesn't except.

Final attack against Final Bowser: 4:58

Even while save a lot, I had a lot of errors for different reasons...like in Chapter 5, where I have to find the baby yoshi, I made for 1min 30 of errors.(my worst part).

Aside of a couple of minor errors, I probably evolved at the wrong moment a couple of party members, like Parakarry (I went to the oasis, in Dry Dry Desert) and Goombario, I thought that I would use him against the Final Bowser changing him and using his Multibonk (same thing as Power Bounce) but I noticed afterwards that it could've been a bit longer.

Other error, I got 2 badges witch I didn't use during the run; the Power Bounce and the HP Plus...it cost me about 1min 30, too.

Random answers for random questions:

If you see that I slowed down a bit against an ennemy, it's beacause I didn't see something(that I couldn't have seen for some reason)

If you I could've, against the first boss, against the fake Bowser, used the Power Jump to defeat him faster and afterwards defeat the 4 NinjaKoopas...I just didn't think about it...

I made some bad choices against the 2nd boos, TunkanTroopa, by usy the FP for the Shell Shot (3FP), instead of using them for the Power Jump (2FP)

I kinda rushed against the 4th boss, General Guy, since I wanted to use fewer Items, etc.

Against the 6th boss, I could've defeated him faster, but I didn't know a better tactic, yet, witch is to get the Ultra Boots before starting the Flower Field, beacause like that, I could use my FP in an other way against the boss Huff N. Puff.

Against the 7th boss, Crystal King, I improvised a tactic, wich using the technique Chill Out before he duplicates. Like that, I know wich one to attack since the real Crystal King is already attained, and the other 2 fake Crystal Kings become "chilled out"...it's a bit hard to explain...

Against Bowser, I tried using many tactics before finding the right one. I could've also cut my time by a couple of seconds but I kept this one since Bowser only healed himself by 30 HP (usually, he heals of about 120 HP, so...)

In the end, I made more errors than I would've thought, and I believe that my run can be beaten to get a time of under 5 hours. Altough everything, I am still happy to have completed my first whole game run, even if I didn't chose the best of games, in other words a loOoOng RPG!
