pannenkoek2012 | SM64 - Go to Bowser in the Sky - 0x A Presses @pannenkoek2012 | Uploaded 9 years ago | Updated 2 minutes ago
I go to Bowser in the Sky using 0 A presses.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I did this in 1 A press. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/HduNkG4v4wU. Since then, Tyler Kehne tested and developed a route to ascend the steps without pressing A, his video of which can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=2T11QOGGrmE. The technique goes as follows:
For the first step, we can simply do a dive recover onto it. This step is shorter than all the rest, and so it's trivial.
For the second step, we use a glitchy wall grab. Basically, the two steps overlap, and so Mario tries to grab onto the first step, but ends up grabbing onto the second step instead.
For the third, fourth, and fifth step, we use a technique called the 207 dive recover. Essentially, the walls of the steps push Mario outwards, but these walls are misaligned at the corner. Therefore, Mario can do a dive recover into this misalignment, allowing him to get under the floor without being pushed away by the walls. The floor then clips Mario upwards onto it.
All credit for this route goes to Tyler, who tested it extensively to get it to work. Thanks, Tyler!

THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED - SEE A BETTER VERSION OF THIS VIDEO HERE:
https://youtu.be/aFx7woWkZbc
I collect the star Watch for Rolling Rocks in Hazy Maze Cave using 0.5 A presses. The A press is to perform AB kicks on the rising elevators. Without doing these kicks, Mario would go through the elevator, and so thered be no way to navigate out of the lake area with QPU speed. For the record, this is TAS.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 1 A press. You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/yGic8wwhm6g. Since then, we discovered PU movement and scuttlebug raising, which made this strat possible.
To learn about the tricks, glitches, and vocabulary used in this video, please watch the commentated version: https://youtu.be/kpk2tdsPh0A. I even listed the time of each explanation in the description of that video.
Here is a play by play of what I do. First, I use scuttlebug transportation to move a scuttlebug to the corner of the Watch for Rolling Rocks platform. Then, I use scuttlebug raising to raise him to about the height of the platform. Next, I use hyper speed walking to generate massive speed. Finally, I use PU movement to navigate to the top of the course, launch to the scuttlebug to bounce on him, and ground pound in the misalignment of the platform to get onto it. And from there, I collect the star.
If you want to see my workspace/calculations and read about the process of TASing this, Ive chronicled it here: http://imgur.com/gallery/rK24p
.m64 stats:
Length: 13 hours and 49.5 minutes
Re-records: 6824
Frames: 2986271 (1493100 input)
This video is without a doubt the one that Ive put the most time into out of all my videos. I knew this going in, and so I decided to keep a log of how much time I spent on each aspect of it (note: if my computer was doing work like compiling/recording and I could let it be, I didnt count that time). Here are the stats:
Time to TAS: 12 hours
Time to record/manage raw avis: 9 hours
Time to create uncommentated version: 31 hours
Time to add visuals/commentary: 75 hours
