This is it, this is the last course I needed to tie the TAS high score for this game, in real time. I'm not aware of this score having been achieved in real time before. I thought it would be the hardest course, but after doing it, I think 3 was harder, and maybe 6 was harder as well.
At the end I do a scroll of all my high scores. There is still no known way to achieve hole in ones on 3-1, 5-4, 5-5, Extra 3-1, and Extra 3-5. If anybody ever figures something out for any of those holes, then I'll be back for more.
I got to hole 8 after only 50-or-so attempts and then choked hard. It took another 200 attempts before I finally got my chance at redemption, and I played it very slow, lol, no chances taken. 8 is one of the easiest holes in the course, along with 3 and 6. 5 and 7 can be tricky. 4 has a frame-perfect Hi Jump use in it which makes it like the gatekeeper for the rest of the course in the rare attempts that you manage to pass holes 1 and 2. 1 feels like a magic trick every time you get it, but it's not THAT hard and it's the first hole of the course so it's quick to retry. The hardest hole was definitely the 2nd, as getting across the water with good speed was quite fickle to do, and to keep that speed requires a number of 3-frame divider boosts. You need to slow down also to have a good chance at using the Hi Jump at the right time, and it can be tricky to judge when you should stop boosting. Then the Hi Jump timing at the end is very precise and also not consistent from one attempt to the next.
