DK + Mario Kart 8 = <3

How much comet medals must be collected for the current route.

Quote from petrie911:

So, quick question. With the Yoshi Infinite Flutter, would it be possible to keep Yoshi all the way to the end of Grandmaster Galaxy? And, if so, is anyone bold enough to do it?

Quote from Arrow:

I made a demonstration video showing off some tricks on Honeyhop Galaxy:

Not sure how much time could be saved by doing the level without the bee suit, but I feel like it should definitely be faster, if optimized, since the bee suit has such slow vertical movement (and no long jumps).

I don't think it saves time, but it is quite challenging.

I made a video on of the whole stage without even touching a bee suit. Smiley

SMG2 charts are open for submission at mario.soniccenter.org: http://mario.soniccenter.org/rankings/super_mario_galaxy_2/times

This will be a good way to keep track of the best times for each level, as well as everyone's personal times on each star. It would be great if a few people could submit all their times, good or not, and we can work on improving them from there. We may add specific 2P charts in the future, but for now, these are 1P only (Luigi is allowed and recommended).

I wouldn't do the whole level without the Bee Suit, but definitely lose it in certain areas the game intends for you to have it.

I've noticed that most of the tricks were discovered before the European launch. Fortunately the flutter exploit does work and I can do the height method easily but I am having difficulty with the sideways method used to cover huge distance, I don't know what is the guarnteed method to get the huge boost as some of the attempts ends up with small distances.

Other than that, I will possibly make some useful strats that seems doable in a single segment run like: (Yoshi Star galaxy Star 01 with Comet medal).

Edit: Don't worry I know what I am doing wrong when setting up the distance flutter, I have to face 135 degress away from the target and I am more likely to get the distance boost.

Saddle Up With Yoshi speed trick. Should save around 10 seconds. I'm certain this particular trick is known by now for people who have been experimenting with infinite flutter.

There's a faster way to do this that I couldn't replicate for a recording. You can infinite flutter, land on an enemy and keep the momentum going to the next planet without having to do a 2nd infinite flutter. This saves a few more seconds but is very hard imo to do.

Bowser Jr.'s Mighty Megahammer speed trick. Trying to land on the question mark block with infinite flutter can be annoying.

Uploading a 6-7 minute video with some interesting things you can do with the well-known Yoshi Infinite Flutter on monday.

But I am sad to say that most of the tricks are not speed tricks, just interesting ways of getting places.

in all the videos for jr's mighty megahammer i can find on youtube, people only hit his first two weakpoints one at a time. have you investigated the possibility of hitting both? he normally raises his hammers to block the second bullet, but when I was impatiently working on his daredevil run, I managed to do it. I didn't try very long to reproduce it, so I'm not sure how easy it is. I'm pretty the first bullet hit him while he was firing the huge bullet, which maybe changed the timing.

I got 13.95 on Beat Block Green Star 1, but I wasn't recording it at the time. I can't beat this time after awhile of trying. Here's a 14.00 recording instead.

Also, great run on Sweet Mystery ZFG. I've been trying to run this as well trying to get the final hover to the star. Always seem to fail at the end.

10 Minute video of a bunch of tricks you can do with the Infinite Flutter using Yoshi.
Included, there are a couple of speed tricks, but most of the tricks are just funny ways of getting to places with Yoshi, and very interesting, as well. Please check it out! Smiley

Great video! Even though they aren't speed tricks, some of those exploits are even more interesting. Clever stuff.

Here's my stuff so far:

Hightail Falls Galaxy - 1. Hot-Stepping Dash Pepper - 1:09.55 -
Packattack has a better time, this run just shows a different ending strategy.

Yoshi Star Galaxy - 2. Spiny Control - 1:13.15 -

Yoshi Star Galaxy - 3. Spiny Rainbow Romp - 0:37.30 -

Sky Station Galaxy - 2. Storming the Sky Fleet - 1:41.73 -
My best run so far, I think.

MyNamesAustin2: Cool, I like trick compilation videos. Smiley

Some of those tricks are quite clever.

It's a BIG HEAD!

Someone willing to explain the sideways Inf. Flutter tricks for me? Or rather, how it's done.

I did get some 2.18 on Yoshi Star Spiny Control without any glitches, and that was with not that good boss fight and some minor mistakes.

Lol. Yoshi Karting!

Dunno, but I think that it might've moved faster than by walking?
