Small splice at 7:21 because I forgot to shoot out my starbits until I was dumping frames. Also at 2:40, I realized I forgot to crash the cymbal before starting the raising

So the midsection of this stage is incredibly unique (and also very out of place? I really don't get the big floating drums theme in the middle of a Sky Garden stage), between the windmill, the bouncy drums, and the collapsable cymbal. If you've ever played this stage, you've probably noticed that the galoombas actually bounce when you land on their drum; getting these guys airborne made me think you could reasonably get 3 enemies to the cymbal at the end, then squeeze out enough distance with a triple bounce and cloud movement to reach Green Star 2

This stage is really just an exercise in massaging every obstacle until everything just happens to work.

Problem: How do you actually raise the galoombas up to higher drums / the cymbal?

Solution: We already do goomba manip via clouds in a few different stars, notably Green Star 1 of this very stage. Instead of trying to squeeze out distance, though, we'll go for height. Clouds in this game are big enough that if you and an enemy are both on one, you can produce a new one without spinning into your cohabitant

Problem: You only get 3 clouds worth of height at a time, and they disappear quickly. How do you raise the galoombas any higher than this?

Solution: We just return to keep returning to a nearby cloud flower before your last cloud expires. Normally we use this strategy to get about 5 clouds worth of horizontal distance, but since the drums let us travel so fast vertically, we chain clouds to raise enemies for such a long time

Problem: Since you're spending time falling and bouncing on the drums, now you're really pressed for time with the clouds.

Solution: You can get into a quick rhythm of grabbing the cloud flower, producing a cloud right at the drum's height so you can directly walk onto it, bouncing on the drum, raising the goomba with a second cloud, luring the goomba to a better position, creating a third cloud to gain more height and get closer horizontal to the cloud flower, walk off and groundpound to reset the cycle

This process seems pretty obvious but it took a little bit to finetune

Problem: The cymbal and the highest drum are too high up to land on without airspinning or burning a cloud. How will you bring 3 clouds to the cymbal once you lure all the enemies over?

Solution: You can produce a cloud right around the peak of your jump from the second-to-last drum and reuse it after grabbing a fresh cloud flower. It's also a good height so that you can just walk on the rim of the drum when it disappears from under you

When you groundpound the cymbal to produce starbits, the height of the cymbal actually decreases enough so that you can just land on it normally. Of course, this means you'll have a tiny bit less height to help you get to the green star, but it's worth it for the extra cloud you get access to

Problem: There's only 2 galoombas on the drums. How do you get a third enemy up to the cymbal?

Solution: There's a paragoomba right before the windmill. You could probably de-wing it, bring it up using windmill-pushed clouds, and then raise it the same way you do the galoombas

Problem: Goombas don't actually bounce on the drums like galoombas do.

Solution: That's not actually an issue. The fact that galoombas bounce a significant bit only saves time; this bounce isn't critical to starting the raising or anything

Problem: The galoomba keep trying to chase Mario, both on the drums and on the cymbal. Also, due to awkward slopes along the cymbal, they keep walking off the side even when Mario isn't around.

Solution: Yeah this one sucks, but fortunately you can just position them far away enough from where you're going to be ascending so that they won't see you. I actually waste a good amount of time trying not to lose all my progress after I didn't position the 2 galoombas on the cymbal well enough

Problem: Even when you're on a cloud above the goomba and galoombas, they still want to chase after you.

Solution: Luckily player 2 can hold one of the enemies in place. Using player 2 isn't necessary for this star, but locking the goomba's position was a luxury too nice to pass up on, especially since W1 TAS set the precedent of always having P2 active in every star

Problem: The cymbal is too small to position the 3 enemies into convenient spaces to do the triple bounce.

Solution: IDK just shoot them with starbits and hope they end up where you want them lol

Problem: Once you're actually on the cymbal there's no good place to start the triple bounce.

Solution: Guess we'll have to burn a cloud then. If lacking 1 of our clouds causes us to come up shy on the star grab, I'd have to redo this whole stage with Luigi.

Oh but hey look at that-it was more than enough, even with that mediocre triple bounce angle

Sombre Reptiles

Datura Stramonium Megamix

MCMoo Shroo 2024-07-28 | As a consequence of working on a different MF DOOM project, the YouTube auto-generated Music credits cited a rip of Datura Stramonium I was looking at as "Da Supafriendz (Instrumental)" but then pictured the album as Joey Bada$$'s 1999 mixtape. I thought this interesting, and then found out "Da Supafriendz" and "World Domination" both used the same beat (Datura Stramonium from Special Herbs Vol. 9 & 0), which I already recognized from Poo Putt Platter and Ask Anyone.

I wanted to see how many other songs I could find that used it, and luckily there were only 2 more I could find and both were good. Then I wanted to see if I could get them to seamlessly flow into each other, and I think it came out pretty solid.

Also sorry for the little skit at the end. I couldn't help myself

MCMoo Shroo 2024-07-16 | Clickbait Title: Can A SPLICED Speedrun FOOL this Super Mario Galaxy Discord Server?

Hey speaking of the server: discord.gg qWVzVF6
I know the link isn't clickable. I don't want to send YouTube a picture of my face for verification despite my face having appeared in multiple videos.

Yeah, those of y'all who TAS with Dolphin know how fickle it can be with generating .sav files, and I overwrite the backup savestate at the start of the TAS while trying to play it back. I hit my save hotkey instead of my load hotkey lol.

Luckily my oldest savestate was right before the Dino Pirahna angry phase, so I just redid that part and spliced the video during the cutscene. The starbit count jumps up by 1 as a result, but I don't use them for any reason in this TAS (although it could've made the Major Burrows fight ~1% easier)

Major Burrows is the only interesting fight here, and even then all you do is walk along steep parts of the tree to get air and then fall onto the rocks Major Burrows leaves behind him.

Rerecord Count: ~580 + 5

MCMoo Shroo 2024-06-29 | Notice that the SimpleFlips thumbnail is "Get [Coins] Or Die" and that the Clipping. chorus is built off the phrase "Get Money Or Die", so leaving the thumbnail unedited is probably more fitting than changing it.

MCMoo Shroo 2023-02-22 | The alien I captured in my basement slowly learning Kraftwerk's discography after I keep YouTube autoplay on for too long. Oh also shoutouts to HEYimHeroic for finding a high-quality reupload of the Jerma Seaman extended clip (I was having trouble finding any clip of it without going to the seaman VOD). This could've been even worse if it wasn't for them! youtube.com/@UC7QV65Zi3p4OjdVgtBTXWnA

(The song is Computer World from Kraftwerk's Computer World album)

Breakdance Buy-Product (MSMSMSM X Breakdance Beach Mashup)

Shoutouts to Saladbowl for giving me the idea for the thumbnail / main visual: twitter.com/FakeSaladBowl

All breakdancing photos were found by searching "Breakdancer Transparent Background) into Microsoft Edge pictures. Except for Jerma, who's source was Jerma. Thank you HEYimHeroic for cutting out the background of the jerma screencap and saving me like 30 minutes: youtube.com/c/HEYimHeroic

Some of these are ties with my unrecorded previous bests (WFaC, GGF), but some of these are small improvements that I worked out while doing these ILs (IBiY, CCI, STT). Pretty cool.

Small tech I've discovered is punching off the end of the ledges and traveling fast horizontally than simply jumping off. This is especially noticeable in Luau Trip Out and the middle of Satura's Tropical Tirade. Will look into it further with the next batch of levels

Jerma Listens to Machine Girl again

MCMoo Shroo 2022-12-12 | Every day I realize more and more that imagination is literally a prison of your own design.

Song is The Storm - Machine Girl

Thank you FrogChomp for cropping him doing the Han Solo dance: youtu.be/fbXgLkPYkAQ

No exaggeration, the hardest part of this was finding a video where Jerma said "the" without game audio in the background or anything. I ended up using the Dork Cube! video if you're just dying to know: youtu.be/fa7TcdabUiE

[TAS] SMG2: Space Storm Galaxy - Cmere Topman (0x A Presses) [M]

MCMoo Shroo 2022-07-19 | This is pretty much an abridged version of the Space Storm 1 that I made a while back: youtu.be/z1yZVOELYpo

Luckily having a reference video for the second planet made this significantly faster, both in TASing time and in playback.

Did a swag strat on the third planet to see if it was possible 0x and it was, but to my knowledge, you have to circle around the whole capsule at least once to get enough height to avoid the black hole under the launch star.

Oh and I actually did the thing I'm supposed to do on every TAS and checked out the IL for the star first; this saved a little bit of time on the last planet because I wrongly assumed it was impossible to guide a topman across that little bridge in front of the Gearmo. The more you know.

[TAS] SMG2: Starshine Beach Galaxy - Purple Coin Beach Dash (0x A Presses) [M]

MCMoo Shroo 2022-07-07 | Ok I have time to give this star a thorough explanation so here goes:

This star was like the easiest RTA (1x) for a long time where you just jump into the star at the end, but it had serious potential to be lower with all the ledges, objects, and Yoshi. As far back as 2017, Annoying thought it would be possible to bounce off a Smeech or chain several of them together from further away to grab the star.

By 2018, we brought it down to 0.5x by Yoshi fluttering off the dock, landing on a lured Smeech, and fluttering into the star. I think this was proven by Bloopiero but I can't find the video for it if there was one.

In 2020, Salad mentioned 2 Smeeches were probably enough to grab the star with just an airspin to start it off, and talked about how Smeeches have a weird home that they return to after they chase Mario. I'm not sure what his actual plan was after luring both the Smeeches but it was probably similar to what was done in this video.

Anyway, tonight I independently discovered you could push Smeeches if you were behind them (already known), push them if you already had a Smeech on Yoshi's nose (probably already known), and that you could turn Smeeches to face whatever direction you want by luring them away from their home and having them fly back in the desired direction (probably known by Salad). I was just the person to put all these together to grab the star 0x

So that is the evolution of this star but the actual tech is pretty cool too. All of it is pretty simple and demonstrated in the video so I won't talk about too much though. First, you just play the star as normal, bait 2 Smeeches to face away from the star, grab a third Smeech, push the first 2 to the other side of the star (so they are now facing it), get hit to get off Yoshi, airspin onto the first Smeech, land on the second to get more distance, and grab the star.

You don't need to trigger the Smeech to get it lower to the ground to land on it or do the HGP off the second. Those were just for extra style points.

Sorry I had to put a space in the link. If I don't, YouTube just shortens it to reddit.com/r/deathgrips/comments/b1klv0/i_was_bored_so_i_decided_to_try_making_mc_ride_on and makes it unclickable anyway.

SMG2: Starshine Beach Purples 0.5x Save

MCMoo Shroo 2022-07-07 | Smeeches busted?!?!

Not sure why the video dies after the smeech set up but from there you shake the smeech off yoshi's schnoz, dash pepper over to the cheep cheeps circling the tower, run back, and then the video resumes about 1:04
