nemi43 | Battle Belt - Crabber skip vs Fire Flower @nemi43 | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 18 hours ago
I made this video because I wasn't sure how fast using the Fire Flower can be. In this comparison, bouncing off the Crabber was about 1.4 seconds faster in entering the Sling Star, but the Fire Flower was about .85 seconds faster on the Pumpkin planet.
Both strats can be faster, but I tried to be realistic in what would be feasible in a run. For the Fire Flower, the Crabber planet probably could've been better, but the Pumpkin planet was the fastest I got in my attempts. Also, it's possible to defeat all 3 Jack O' Goombas while staying near the landing spot, but this was even more difficult than getting good luck with the Crabbers. If you can get both both good luck with the Crabbers (so the Fire Flower doesn't end too early on the Pumpkin Planet) and good fireball bounces on the Pumpkin Planet, the Fire Flower can still be faster.
For setting up the Crabber bounce, I need to push the cyan Crabber farther away from the Starshroom. The 1st spin is mainly just to stun the Crabber--replacing this spin with a Star Bit shot might be an improvement. Also, depending on how the red Crabber on the right behaves, bouncing off of it instead can be faster.
