Noki Doki | Red button storage was a mistake - Ricco 6 1:39.55 IGT (WR) @NokiDoki | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Shoutouts to Jcool114 for thinking outside the box and coming up with this blooperless route! However, starting from the crane platform as he did, we can't possibly get to the first coin as soon as it becomes tangible (1 second after it spawns), so I had to once again make this IL worse by starting closer to the coin. Like, much worse.

Since you have to be on solid ground to get the red button's textbox, there's no better place to start than the crane platform... at least, no better place above water. There's the seafloor right under the first coin, but sadly, just swimming down to it won't trigger the textbox. We need to momentarily cancel the swimming action, which can be done using a grab.

Sounds simple, until you realize there are two sources for grabbable objects (namely fruits): the infamous fruit machine, and the coconut tree on a high ledge in the farthest corner of the level. The fruit machine seems much more convenient to reach, and the RNG wouldn't be an issue since we just need any fruit except durian, but it has a special property: its fruits despawn after 40 seconds, instead of 2 minutes for any other fruit in the entire game. It's just not enough to clip under the water, drop the fruit, store the button and come back, so the coconut tree is the only option left.

Getting there is not so bad, but there's nowhere safe to throw the coconut once you get it, so you have to swim with it. I use the rocket nozzle platform to skip some of the swimming and get to the vertical crane, which is both the way back to land and the way to get pushed out of bounds. Here I have to be careful about the water surface, as swimming off the edge of it can downwarp me into the void or softlock me, but also about not getting back in bounds too high, as Mario will act like there's a water surface wherever he reenters. Despite that, the coconut doesn't despawn here, so I can put it down under the arrow platform, store the red button, get in position, use the coconut to trigger the textbox, and simply wait for Mario to float back up to the surface!

And then fail the starting Y storage. A lot. Or take way longer than I'd like to admit to realize that holding forward during the spinjump from 2nd to 3rd coin was aiming the turbo nozzle up, pushing me down and making the jump practically impossible. This was only my 4th time successfully sticking to the route up to the 3rd coin, and first time getting any further, but 1:39.65 should be possible... given enough patience
