Celeste - Celeste - 7A Golden Strawberry!! [195/202]

Sidney600SR 2024-10-07 | This one only brought me relief, it's a surprisingly painful golden strawberry, because the chapter itself is actually so easy, but it's sooo long, meaning there is such a high probability of impatience. I didn't actually need that many attempts once I started focusing on not getting impatient, but the nerves man, they started showing up about 10 minutes in, with like 4 minutes to go. I'm just glad this one is over so I never have to touch summit again (for goldens anyways).

This one is probably not worse than 7B, but it requires a completely different type of nerve control, which is why I rate this one as more difficult than 7B.

Celeste - 8A Golden Strawberry! [194/202]

Sidney600SR 2024-09-25 | Compared to 7B golden, this is quite the cakewalk in comparison. No chokes this time! The main level I really am not looking forward to is 8B, cause that one actually seems like actual heck to get, but not going for that now, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6A, 6B, 7A still remain (and farewell of course).

Celeste - 7B Golden Strawberry!!! [193/202]

Sidney600SR 2024-09-22 | One day I felt like playing through 7B again, and I was surprised at how easy 0m, 500m, 1000m and 2000m and 2500m felt at the time. I then thought: "Hey, wait a second, I think I could actually get this". But 13 hours of attempts, was way more than I had expected lol. But I got it!!

It's funny actually, I had been stuck on 192 berries for ages, and I thought for sure this one would be the 201th, but hey, I guess sometimes you have to jump the gun.

SotT 0x is the Deadest of Dead Strats (objection.lol)

Sidney600SR 2023-02-21 | yeah, I haven't got more to say about this
based on a true story

SMSR - Aim the Turret - 3x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2022-10-24 | I collect the star "Aim the Turret" in 3 a presses. This is an improvement over the previous run where I collected the star using 4 a presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/E5Ax6uLjexY

This brings the total A press count for 130 star from 99 to 98.

Since then I had a realization that, perhaps changing the route could lead to an A press save. Previously the star had been cloned inside the ring underneath the blue/white checkered Bob-omb platform, as I had no idea at the time how to escape it with no additional A presses. However, I realized that using the ring Pedro spot I could send Mario towards the rocket platform.

This allowed the final ring to be a different ring instead, namely the one that previously used a Pedro spot from the ground level to reach. This route instead clones the star using this ring. This is done by hands-free grabbing a clone to reach the ring, then dust is generated on the slope in the ring to get the right vacant slot to clone the star.

The a presses are as follows:
#1: To get onto the cannon
#2: To fire the cannon to get to the upper area
#3: To jump from the fourth ring back to the upper area

Thanks to:
Marbler, for figuring out a way to clone the star in the final ring: youtube.com/channel/UCkkl8jzlB6sJDSqCXAR3pcw
And, SR for figuring out how to get the Bob-omb in a position on the satellite that allowed getting past it:

SMSR - Bowsers Rainbow Rumble Secret Star - 5x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2022-07-11 | I collect the secret star in Bowser's Rainbow Rumble using 5 A presses. This is an improvement over YO_WUZ_UP's run which collected it in 6 A presses. You can find that video here: youtube.com/watch?v=PNIYIwqRgYM

This was apparently already done by SR earlier, although I didn't catch it because it wasn't on the 130 star ABC doc: youtu.be/ycHseX26kQE

Since then we figured out you can save 1 A press by simply jumping to higher spot on the first jump. I also show in the video that there is a misalignment on the top platform which could potentially save 1 more A press. It's a height of 200 units, so it would reach with a DR, however the angle to the misalignment is very tricky, so I couldn't pull it off.

The A Presses are as follows:
#1: To jump from the slippery slope to the second square platform.
#2: To jump from the second square platform to the fourth square platform.
#3: To jump onto the brown moving bar.
#4: To jump further up on the moon.
#5: To jump to the star platform.

SMSR - Bowsers Rainbow Rumble - 2x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2022-07-11 | I finish the journey up to bowser in 2x A presses. This is an improvement over the last strat which did the same in 3x A presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/a1nbUetgFeU

Since then I figured out how to pass the pole at the end by doing a quite precise dive recover onto the giant star next to it, from here we can ZB bounce to the exit!

The A presses are as follows:
#1: To jump from the brown moving bar and further up the tower
#2: To jump to the top of the tower

Since then I figured out that you can bring the chuckya up to have it throw you to the star. Pretty quick and simple!

Since then I managed to find a way to get to the upper "door" without using any a presses by using goomba clones to climb the target, and a misalignment to get into the pipe near the robot.

Since then I figured out that you can use a pedro spot on the cards to make it all the way up to the top of the toy tower, this is where the single a press occurs.

Since then I figured out that you can use a pedro spot on the cards to make it all the way up to the ice cream cone using some pretty precise straining, this is where the single a press occurs.

Not much to say about this star really, just a bunch of wall kicks.

A presses are:
#1-9: Scale the pillars
#10: Jump across the big gap to the star

SMSR - Sky Land Resort 100 coins & red coins - 5x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2018-10-27 | I collect the 100 coin star and the red coins in Sky Land Resort using 5 a presses. And with this, every star has been documented!

The A presses are as follows:
#1: To get on the roof near the start
#2: To get to the tree near the start
#3: To get to the elevators
#4: To get the red coin on the far roof
#5: To jump from the pedro spot to the top of the level

Super Bob-Omb Throw

Sidney600SR 2018-08-19 | It turns out if you kick a bob-omb while holding handsfree, then grab it with a dive, the speed from the kick will never be reset. Interesting stuff. Sorry for bad vid, I haven't set up OBS settings correctly.

SMSR - Big Boos Tower & 100 coins - 2x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2018-06-26 | I collect the stars for the 100 coins and big boo's tower using 2 a presses. This saves two a presses over doing them separately because we can only get to 97 coins without going up top, and we use this last scuttlebug to get to 100! Pretty simple strat anyways.

A presses:
#1-2: Get onto the building

SMSR - Starlight Runway 100 Coins and Red Coins - 2x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2018-05-07 | I collect the 100 coin star together with the red coin star in starlight runway using only 2 a presses.

Why are these two stars combined you may wonder. Well the truth is that you can't get to 100 coins or get the red coins without going up top, and going up top requires 2 a presses, so therefore this is the most efficient way of doing it in a full game run.

The a presses are as follows:
#1: To get to the cannon.
#2: To shoot the cannon to get to the higher area.

Interesting TTC Hyperspeed Spot

Sidney600SR 2018-02-23 | ok what. This spot seems like just some sort of spot in which you can gain tons of speed which is neither a pedro spot nor a subframe grinding spot. I managed to get to about 340 in this video, which is really just a video where i derp around with the spot for 8 minutes.

SMSR - Sewers Toad - 0x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-12-16 | Yay! This is possible! I don't actually collect the star, but I show that it is possible to get to the toad, collecting the star is possible anyways.

Found this HSW spot ages ago, but haven't put it to use yet, here we go though!

Improvement of YO_WUZ_UP's run in 3x: youtu.be/3h9HMgN6ZUA

SMSR - The Flooded Cave - 0x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-12-16 | I collect the star "The Flooded Cave" using 0 a presses. This is an improvement from my previous video that collected this star in 0.5 a presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/M5368dwuJHw

This star actually had a 0x strat for a very long time made by dar gos, it was over 4 hours long and used PU movement, which is really cool. I was thinking though that IU movement (Induvidual Universe) could make it possible to do it in way less time. And that's this strat here. I go to a HSW spot and build up speed for only 6 minutes this time. From here I move Mario like this: https://i.imgur.com/yaI8wF4.jpg which allows Mario to get enough height to make it to the star platform in 0x a presses!

Sorry for the audio desync, weird stuff happens sometimes when recording that causes desync... :/

SMSR - Aim the Turret - 4x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-12-11 | THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED - SEE A BETTER VERSION OF THIS VIDEO HERE: youtu.be/8lgnGGSipEI

I collect the star "Aim the Turret" in 4 a presses. This is an improvement over Inkstar's run which collected this star using 14 a presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/utnccFKzIak

The improvement comes from a lot of different little things. Firstly we can use a pedro spot instead of the cannon to get the first ring above dome. Secondly we can get three rings at once if we drop down from below. And thirdly we can actually get back to the top from the fourth ring. Also, fourthly, we can use a bob-omb to clone the star meaning we only fire the cannon once. Interestingly we never fire the cannon towards any rings, so we never actually "aim" the turret lol.

The a presses are as follows:
#1: To jump from the pedro spot to the first ring
#2: To get onto the cannon
#3: To fire the cannon to get to the upper area
#4: To jump from the fourth ring back to the upper area

SMSR - Hidden Palace Finale Replica - 10x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-12-05 | I collect the replica star in "Hidden Palace Finale" using 10 a presses. This strat follows off of the strat of this level in 8 a presses, just we go to the extra length of grabbing the replica in the end.

The a presses are as follows:

#1-#3: To get to the balcony
#4-#6: To get to the pipe
#7-#8: To get to the top of the level
#9-#10: To get to the replica star

SMSR - Hidden Palace Finale - 8x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-12-04 | I collect the star in "Hidden Palace Finale" using 8 a presses. This is an improvement of the previous video which collected this star using 9 a presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/VUDo7a3K-2k

The improvement comes from it being possible to get onto the pipe using a misalignment, and actually using only a sideflip (with a glitchy wallkick) to get to the top, saving 1 a press!

The a presses are as follows:

#1-#3: To get to the balcony
#4-#6: To get to the pipe
#7-#8: To get to the top of the level

Sidney600SR 2017-12-03 | THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED, SEE A BETTER VERSION OF THIS VIDEO HERE: youtu.be/oS3RymHU6Ag

I collect the star in "Hidden Palace Finale" using 9 a presses. This is an improvement of the previous video which collected this star using 11 a presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/DmG2Gu2wq_s

The improvement comes from the fact that we can use the roof to get over to the balcony instead of going on the floating platform. This saves 2 a presses.

The a presses are as follows:

#1-#3: To get to the balcony
#4-#6: To get to the pipe
#7-#9: To get to the top of the level

SMSR - Bowsers Slippery Swamp Key - 2x A Presses

Since then I realized that you can just framewalk on the very steep parts of the slope, albeit a lot slower than on the non steep one, which allows us to reach the upper part of the stage using 0x a presses opposed to one. Aswell as that I saved one a press off of the highest piranha plant by using a misalignment which allows us to reach that piranha plant using 1 a presses opposed to 2. Aswell as this you can use some twirl speed conservation to reach the last piranha plant in 0.

The A Presses are as follows:
#1: To reach the second highest piranha plant
#2: To reach the highest piranha plant

SMSR - Playful Red Coins - 0x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-09-26 | I collect the star "Playful Red Coins" using 0 A presses. This is possible because we can abuse the living crap out of clones in this level. And we use these clones to construct several big goomba ladders to help us reach all of the very difficult to reach coins! All in all a really cool strat!

SMSR - Moving Target - 0x A Presses

youtu.be/KES9kti80LM

Since then I figured out that you can simply just use a small Goomba staircase consisting of 4 goomba clones and we can bounce our way up! This does however require about 30 seconds of frame-walking in order to get up to the top of the target to release the clone. But all in all, pretty sweet strat, even though it does take 8 minutes to set it up.

Song used in the small timelapse is Hold by Metea:

SMSR - Puzzle of the Vanish Cap: Switch + Star - 0x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-09-16 | Apparently this was done earlier, I'll keep mine uploaded still, but if you want to see another video of this here it is: youtu.be/l2SH_zRkaCc

I collect the star in the Puzzle of the Vanish Cap level and also press the switch in one go. This is an improvement of previously where we collected the star and pressed the switch separately. This is an improvement because currently, Puzzle of the Vanish Cap takes 1 a press to enter, and by doing two of the things in one go, we can prevent the need to go back another time, which means we only have to enter the level 2 times opposed to 3. (2 times because there is still the replica star)

SMSR - To Strum the Guitar... - 0x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-09-16 | I collect the star "To Strum the Guitar..." using 0x A Presses. This is an improvement over the previous video which collected the star in 1x a press. You can find that video here: youtu.be/5oCsAeyEI1M

Since then I figured out that chuckya can actually grab Mario through floors. Initially I just had an idea and I tested it out and it seemed to work as I thought. Now the question was how would you do this in practice? Well lucky for us, Mad Musical Mess is one of the few levels where you can do the hat in hand glitch, this is useful to us because it lets us manipulate objects without modifying the HOLP. Thanks to this we can place a HOLP in Bob-omb Islands, and then grab chuckya light to throw him towards Mario so he grabs him through the floor!

Note: We can't simply just use the warp to get back to the guitar, because that would reset the hat in hand. This is why we use a pedro spot in order to get there. Also I am not sure if you can fly directly to the star from the pedro spot, I tried for a while and couldn't pull it off.

SMSR - Finding the Purple Switch - 3x A Presses

Since then I figured out you can use the shy guy from the windmill to bounce directly to the purple switch, and that you can from the gate actually do a ZB bounce to the star (this trick is super precise!)

Since then I figured out you can actually do a ZB kick to the green platforms and from there you can use the shy-guy to save one of the a presses. The final one may be able to be saved by somehow getting a shyguy up by the windmill, but for now, this is alright.

Since then Zimbo found a way to enter the pedro spot in 0x, which made it possible to get this star using 1 a press. However the way that it was entered was using the first flyguy, but the problem with that was that you couldn't turn Mario around to face the right way towards the tower. So what we do instead is use the other flyguy which is much higher up to get high enough to turn around and get into the pedro spot, from there we build up speed for 3 minutes to allow us to jump all the way to the top of the tower!

The A Presses are as follows:
#1: To jump from the pedro spot to the top of the tower.

Since then, I was thinking that using the wing cap could help save an a press, but I wasn't sure if you could get there fast enough before the wing cap ran out. Thanks to Maplestrip who tested this out and actually found out that you can indeed get to the cannon and shoot to the star in time, thereby saving 1 A Press with a completely new strat!

The A Presses are as follows:
#1: To get to the wing cap
#2: To fire the cannon to get to the star

Sidney600SR 2017-05-23 | I collect the star "The Engine Leak" using 0x A Presses. This run is very similar to "dar gos"'s run, as the star is in the same position, well almost. The star is actually in a box this time, and actually spawns a bit too far up for a simple dive recover, which means that in order to get the star you have to get on top of the little fence on the side and do a ZB-dive from it!

Sidney600SR 2017-05-22 | I collect the star "Shoot to the Tower Top" using a single A Press. This is an improvement of my previous video where I collected the star using 4.5x A Presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/vYkyMlbaLAw

Since then I figured out that you can actually use the HSW spot near the bridge to build up enough speed to just jump directly to the star. This requires a precise angle, and precise amount of speed however, anyways pretty cool strat!

The A press's purpose is to jump directly to the star from the HSW spot.

SMSR - Colorful Coral Caverns 100 Coins + Red Coins - 0x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-05-20 | I collect the 100 coin star and red coins in colorful coral caverns using no a presses. This is an improvement from YO_WUZ_UP's run which collected 100 coins (together with break through the floor) in 4x A Presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/yk5hZVESlLM

Since then Notchmath made me aware of a HSW spot right near the spawn, that can be used to build up a ton of speed. What do we need this speed for? Well to clip directly into the break through the floor star area. Unfortunately it comes at a cost, we have to build up speed for almost two hours as we need around -40000 speed to clip through to a spot where Mario can stand.

Interestingly this level is one of two levels where you can only collect 99 coins in 0x (normally, the other being gloomy garden). The coins which were collected in 1x before were the ones up above on the bridges. The dilemma then came how to collect these coins in 0x, in order to get to 100. Well, as it turns out we have "Break Through the Floor", which has floors which are made of lava, so what we can do, luckily as there are only two floors, we can use the lava to lavaboost our way up to the top, thereby making the star 0x!

It is also worth noting that, collecting a star together with the 100c is optimal as it takes 1 A press to even enter the level. that is why these two are combined.

Also, I do have to appologize for my horrible swimming, I was getting bored toward the end as the swimming section takes almost 9 minutes...

SMSR - Break Through the Floor - 0x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-05-20 | I collect the star "Break Through the Floor" using 0x A Presses. This is an improvement over Maplestrips run where he collected this star using 2x A Presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/w0gFHRMog2Q

Since then Notchmath made me aware of a HSW spot right near the spawn, that can be used to build up a ton of speed. What do we need this speed for? Well to clip directly into the star spot. Unfortunately it comes at a cost, we have to build up speed for almost two hours as we need around -40000 speed to clip through to a spot where Mario can stand. Pretty cool strat though, nevertheless.

SMSR - Fluffy Castle Climb - 1x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-05-19 | I collect the star "Fluffy Castle Climb" using 1 a press. This one isn't too complicated, and well, there isn't really any known way to get up higher without using that one a press...

The A presses are as follows:
#1: To jump from the falling platform to the wing cap boxes.

SMSR - Swinging Through the Clouds - 0x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-05-18 | I collect "Swinging Through the Clouds" using no A Presses!

This is possible because we can use the bee near the whomp to get up to the crazy box. Once we are there, we simply use the crazy box to bounce up to a much higher point. Luckily for us, there are exactly two enemies up here, and we are going to use both of them. We first manipulate the goomba to fall down so we can use him to get up to the higher point, then we use the bee up here to knock us off the little beanstalk. All in all pretty fun strat!

SMSR - Sandy Slide Secret Red Coins - 0.5x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-05-18 | A is being held the entire video.

I collect the red coin star in the secret level "Sandy Slide Secret" using 0.5x A Presses. A is being held in order to kick up slopes and such as this star doesn't look possible without that. It was long believed that this star would need to be 1x, which would be to get onto the pink structure, but I figured out that C^ hyper speed and an AB kick would be sufficient to clear the gap!

SMSR - Haunted Ride for Red Coins - 7x A Presses

Sidney600SR 2017-05-17 | I collect the star "Haunted Ride for Red Coins" in 7x A Presses. This is an improvement from Maplestrip's run which did the star in 9x A Presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/HVgBQa4K-Lw

Since then, I figured out that you can use a misalignment to get onto the first platform near the tower to get the red coin and save one a press. The second save was with the 5th red coin, this was done with a jump earlier, but you can just get to it by bouncing off of a bookend and quickly get back to the platform before it despawns.

The A Presses are as follows:

#1-2: To get on the tower wall
#3: To collect the 6th red coin
#4: To collect the 7th red coin
#5-7: To get to and collect the star

youtu.be/VUwsIjARoKM

I Collect the star "Door Knocking" using 1 A Press. This is possible because we clone the star from below and never need to go back up to grab the star!

Thanks a lot to Pannenkoek2012 for finding a setup that works for the star cloning. I was having a lot of trouble with VS values in order to clone the star in the end, but Pannenkoek2012 figured out that if you collect a coin with the right timing after Mario has grabbed the last secret, you can create particles that will induce the correct VS needed for Mario to be holding the star.

The A press's purpose is as follows:
To jump from the bush to the top of the toy castle in order to get to a secret.

#3: To sideflip to get to the chuckya
#4: To jump off the second pole
#5: To walljump to reach the third pole
