This trick will be very useful for the 100% category. The intended way to get the Minikit is to beat the level in Story Mode, and then play the level in Free Play Mode. Playing the level in Free Play Mode will spawn your character right next to the first minikit. However, if you pause right after the first cutscene in Story Mode, disable Host Wireless, you can get the minikit way earlier without sliding down the big slide at the beginning.

Im back! I was struggling with school for about a month or two, but now that school is out, I can now work on TASes for as long as I like! (well, until school starts again in August, of course) The movement in this TAS feels kinda unoptimized and I wouldnt be too surprised if it could somehow be improved.

Im very satisfied with how this turned out. This TAS beats my previous TAS of this level (https://youtu.be/dq5GCmqZ4Mw?t=202) by nearly two minutes thanks to the Free Buddha Glitch in the first two rooms, more optimized usage of Barts grapple ability, taking less damage, and more optimized movement in general.

P.S. The music in this level is awesome

This run started out fairly good but turned into crap about 3/4 of the way in. Died like 5 times in Mysterious Mountainside alone and had to go back to BoB near the end because I didnt have enough stars. Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/skiconow")
