We enter The Secret Aquarium using 0 A presses in 8 minutes. This is TAS.
Previously, entering The Secret Aquarium took around 51 minutes (youtu.be/7YhJcF9v7QQ). Since then, Marbler figured out that we didn't need as much speed as previously thought for the final castle movement, now needing only ~1000 instead of ~2000. We brainstormed together where we might get this much speed from, factoring in that it must be done while still having 0 stars in order to trigger the text on the PSS door. I suggested maybe a pedro spot in VCutM, and Marbler found a spot and angle that worked, since it could launch Mario into a ledge grab, which lets us exit out with all the speed. And so then we TASed it, resulting in a final time of about 8 minutes.
Thanks to the following people:
➤ Marbler (@supermarble94) for determining that we don't need as much speed as previously thought, TASing the end of BitDW, TASing the pedro spot, TASing the final castle movement
➤ myself, for TASing the speed building in BoB, TASing BitDW, TASing miscellaneous castle movement, TASing VCutM
➤ fifdspence (@fifdspence) for TASing the initial movement to enter the castle, TASing entering BoB, and TASing the initial movement in BoB
