I collect the star Big Boo's Balcony in BBH using 0 A presses in 33 minutes. Specifically, this strat reduces the total time by 2.5 hours, from 3 hours to half an hour.
Originally, this star was done in 13 hours by raising the scuttlebugs enough to snap them into the bookshelf room (youtu.be/OLmxy5cYfdk). Later, I did it in 3 hours by bouncing on the scuttlebugs and going into a misalignment with the crazy box (youtu.be/xd9OFhnyiP8). And now, I show an even faster strat, in which I bounce on the scuttlebugs with the crazy box and use a star dance clip to get onto the roof. This strat is similar to the previous strat, except the scuttlebug raising is significantly faster, since it's now done from a single location instead of traveling through doors each iteration.
This video is a follow-up to my previous video in which I showed this strat as a theoretical idea (youtu.be/bqH66rUT_LA). The critical issue at the time was that Mario faces towards the camera after the star dance clip, which normally means he'd be facing downhill. Facing downhill causes Mario to enter into a butt slide instead of a stomach slide. Butt slides unavoidably fall off the roof, whereas stomach slides allow Mario to dive as soon as he slides off, letting him get back onto the roof, start frame walking, and get all the way up. So the question became how could we position the camera so that Mario ended up facing uphill on the roof? Ultimately, @brianpso was the one to suggest the solution, which was to land on the roof's non-cardinal edge on the left while having the camera be south-west of it. And so that's what I ended up doing.
Side Note: This is the first time I've used the technique to ascend the mansion lobby's steps 0xA after the steps have already been raised. This was a discovery made by ds273 a year ago (youtu.be/CqlN_0S1ESY). So thanks to that, I was able to route the 100 coins more efficiently.
