Krithalith | SM64 - The Princess's Secret Slide (Under 21) 20.23 (TAS) + Plush/Tess 20.30 ghost @Krithalith | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 7 hours ago
-2f from Plush + Tess 2018 TAS.
Since I saved a frame before the dropdown in the regular PSS, this obviously carries over to PSS under 21, so I had to take a look. I was able to use the earlier dropdown and I found another frame in second dropdown / tunnel sliding section. There is probably at least another frame to be found in the wallkick section since it was pretty loose.
Brute-forced and re-TASed in 6 sections (including the 3 sections used for regular PSS).
Thanks to Bad Boot for creating the SM64 Python API.

Slightly faster, marginally less consistent it seems. IL strat?
You lose the leeway on the second GWK for the only 2 switch setup that exists (second GWK must be firsty). Setup seems to be about .7 ish faster.
Shoutouts to Alexpalix for showing me that quick-ish setups from the bottom left corner (looking at the window from outside) can exist. Ive searched all corners now but Im sure a quick-ish setup could be found for bottom right at some point with different setup elements (so you go straight from LJ to the window, to ledgegrab, to setup). That might save another 2-3 seconds.

Scattershot found a better setup for the BLJ. It lands 3f earlier with less speed so it needs an extra BLJ, so it saves 1f in total. I wouldnt be suprised if another frame is possible but I couldnt find it. The whole thing is pretty constrained.

I finally looked into this. Snark and others (ToT?) had theorized a high speed wallkick strat for some time but it was always a little slower in execution than clock-punch. I actually saved 4f post-stardoor before even looking at the start with another high speed wallkick strat. However, at some point I realized that the only reason you talk to the door with only 458 speed is that you need less than 400 to not clip through the clock when punching it (you could increase this a bit if you had a ground-level double wall push but still nowehere near enough to beat this new strat). The new strat gets almost 800 speed before talking to the door. If you go any faster you will clip through the stairs leading to the 70 star door. I ran scattershot on an ensemble of different door talk positions and X and Z sliding speeds to find this route.
