Maybe I could have been more clear, but yes, I was refering to the ability to share starbits between files. I just thought that everyone would be using this trick anyways, since it's a feature built into the game and it saves so much time. Who wants to watch starbit grinding?

This wouldn't be a huge issue for 71 star, if not for the fact that almost all the star bit galaxies are extremely short.

Fire Emblem?

Using the Banktoad makes the game into a new game+ category rather than new game. This means that it wouldn't be directly against normal runs, and unless it's significantly different (ergo, a fair chunk of time is saved and/or the route is different) then it probably won't be accepted. For 71 star, I could see it being accepted if the above is true (different, shorter route), but for 242 star, I'm not entirely sure, since all it would really do is remove some star bit grinding.

If it's not significantly different, then it just wouldn't be in its own NG+ category. (like MP3's instant scanning)

(I'm not saying it's not significant enough. Though I don't think anyone would ever bother to do a run without it)

A few more videos from Galaxy 2:

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Supermassive Galaxy - Huge Trouble with Big Wigglers - 1:21.31

I tried the Wigglers Speed Run star but its annoying because you can't really abuse the moving parts in the opening scenes to help you much. There is still some waiting required.

super mario is amazing

yo guys I have two to contribute to the IL table, possibly. a 1:41:58 on Silver Stars Pop-Up, and a 1:23:XX on Silver Stars in the Purple Pond. Can't link to them since I haven't got them in files yet. Good enough times you think?

EDIT: Improved Purple Pond to 1:22:70, but you're right neskamikaze, I'll be sure to do that.

and btw I am watching the entire IL run when it's finished. What you guys think the final time will be? Sub-4:45:?

Well being that davincentcode has your Pop-up time beat by 4 seconds (and is still improveable) and packattack has your Purple Pond time beat by 20, I'd say not. Try searching Youtube for whatever star you are working on to see if anyone has a better time and for strategies you may not have thought of.

lol not attempting to beat packattack at purple pond, he should put that on the IL table. But I'm going to try to beat davincent at pop-up tommorrow, new SC in that vid I didn't know was possible. I think most of the four seconds came from jumping around/missing the silver stars, but I can do an extra long jump at the beginning, and only two backflips for the five star chips on the moon, so it could happen. EDIT: Pop-Up improved to about 1:40:43, still hate the actual silver stars, but I have a way to LJ that goes right to the second moving platform in the second part of the galaxy, if used with the A spin, it might actually be faster, I don't know. I might try that way tommorrow. and is it possible to get the silver star gotten last in the 1:37 vid with a triple jump-A spin? also, my current record is 00:57:10 on Battle Belt Green Star 1, will be trying to improve tommorrow.

Ok, so I have a lack of talent at the final part of Silver Stars Pop-Up, but I think I have a solution! Run Star in the Sinking Swamp instead! 1:10 good goal? And about the battle belt green stars, for green 1, I'm finding it hard to beat that 00:57:10. The second and fourth planets are the biggest problems for me, is there really no way to kill those crabs w/o fire?

Spin them from the front, Jump over them, spin them from behind.
Or shoot them with star bits and spin them from behind.
Although IIRC, you can triple jump spin to enter a different planets' gravity from that planet.

You can triple jump from the fire flower planet TO the crab planet, but I don't know if you can triple jump to the next one.

i don't know if you can. if you can, this 00:54:41 Smiley

is obsolete, and actually, mine doesn't even use the first SC, but neither does the youtube run. i will possibly have the vid up, or at least a link, today. Now, I know the youtube vid is .35 faster, but he does the same stuff I do, mostly. So as long as this doesn't look bad, this will probably be getting put on the table.

2010-09-10 08:29:09 am

Well if the Youtube video is .35 faster we'd use it instead.

:/ well, i guess that makes sense. improvement will have to wait until next week, but I WILL beat 00:54:06. any advice for 2nd and 3rd green stars of battle belt? I bet my 3rd star goal will be about 2:20 or 2:25.

A lot the comet medals are either on the main path or slightly off of it.

Umm... yeah I have all the medals but I need to know how many medals it takes for certain comets to appear.

2010-09-10 07:02:19 pm

Yeah, I will post the info on the SDA wiki (here). I didn't put the info up earlier because I was waiting for some reply on the wiki discussion page, but I guess other people miss those pages just as easily as I do. >_> I'll just try some format so that the info will at least be up, though.
