tool assisted
was this the 0.5xA strat that the sheet lists for GS1?
anyways, this cleans that up as well as the death in GS2 and maybe the death in Peewee if the tiny planet one is avoidable

The A presses are:
#1: Sideflip up the bubble-spawning walls
#2: Wallkick up those walls
#3: Backflip up from the first platform of the 3rd section
This is on second channel because its practically a dupe of GS3 but with a shorter ending so didnt want to spam up main channel. Also want to get some use out of this one, lol.")

WARNING: Some weird flashing (its strobey but dark) when eating or single jumping with a Dash Pepper (or first person cameras). This is a graphical bug in the older version of Dolphin Im using (5.0 stable).
Green Stars TAS WIP
Despite the lag from an extra crystal break on the world map, it takes the same time to do Hightail Falls before Boulder Bowl than to do Boulder Bowl before Hightail Falls.
For details on GS3 and the majority of movement for the other two stars, see the description here: https://youtu.be/eFt2U7PtYkU
Green Star 3 - 57.23 IGT - 27:34.13 real-time split (1:53.28 segment)
Green Star 2 - 57.96 IGT - 29:15.45 real-time split (1:41.42 segment)
The key difference from cutscene skips is the Paragoomba. It doesnt get to the good bouncing spot on the right, so its faster to 2P freeze it on the left and go that side instead.
For the ending, low rapid flutters are used to keep at higher flutter speed. Jumping off the side of the wall while facing upwards gets a similar amount of height as going straight up off the top, while being able to jump earlier.
Green Star 1 - 30.73 IGT - 30:29.55 real-time split (1:14.10 segment)
As mentioned above, jumping off the side upwards is similar to jumping off the top, but it happens earlier. However, in this case, it didnt actually save time because it was so close to the top. It didnt lose time either.
Dismounting into the star is 2 frames faster.

It is a few frames faster to do a cloud jump from the grate and then a quick and high cloud jump in mid-air, rather than boosting from the grate floors bounce and doing a cloud jump on top of another cloud in mid-air (not enough momentum to do a high cloud jump from a single cloud).
I didnt realise frame-perfect ground pounds didnt form clouds but that would make sense as those ground pounds arent counted as proper spins (they dont cause flip-panels to flip).
An instant long jump on the volcano would have gone over the star, so walking for a bit and then long jumping was faster, even faster than a single jump carrying some of the long jump speed.")

Mario can do the TAS speed strat of long jumping upside down and landing on the roof/bracket.")

did this ages ago (late 2019) but only showed it off as an mp4 embed in tas server.
improved a frame from that old version by 2P jumping into the star.
Attempted earlier shots, particularly using 2P IR instead of 1P as it comes from the left of the screen, but nothing worked out. Im confident it will work but couldnt be bothered to keep testing. Xanders gonna smash this TAS up when he gets there.
Interestingly I couldnt save a frame on textbox by turning the camera just before talking. Perhaps you could save something with a different talking position, but you need to make sure its close enough to the star for an instant 2P jump at the end.")

the one on main channel was mainly a hey i did this cool thing so now this one is the cool thing done a bit better. but this is still very much suboptimal and acts as a blueprint for future TASes.
things to improve:
-Single jump on the second stone platform on first planet to land on sand earlier and not have to pull back on a long jump later on.
-Experiment with momentum off the moving blocks, as well as more edge long jumps on the sand currents
-Learn the exact point at which the Romps start rolling instead of just when the camera tilts up
-Instantly jumping after the first ground pound on the slide which I didnt do for some reason lol")

One from the backlog of TASes to upload.
IGT could be improved by delaying cutscene skips to optimise the fireball cycles.
This TAS was made for the comparison of fast CS skip vs. full cutscenes between both GS1 and GS2 to figure out which is faster to do first in a Green Stars run. Due to fireball cycles being slightly better (4 frames) without cutscenes, its faster to do GS2 first.
Mega double/triple jumps werent understood at the time; maybe there could be an improvement right at the start with this tech?")
