Adeals TASes | (SM64DS) Comparison: Mario's Super Wallkick - Is Star Cancel useful ? @adealtas | Uploaded April 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
In this video I time three strats for the 6th star of CCM: Mario's Super Wallkick.
On the left, there is the strat where we put on Mario's cap
In the middle, there is the strat where we use Yoshi, and grab the star in a normal way
And on the right, there is the strat where we use Yoshi and eat the star to fall in the void.
Note: The runs are all LOTAD (Low Optimization Tool Assisted Demonstration)
Conclusion: The Star Cancel strat is the fastest. Yay !

Big thing before explanations: I can now record in HD ! The game looks way smoother and is nicer to look at. ( thanks to sharkey91)
Timing begins when the game is turned on and ends on the last input. (When I close the textbox saying I got a star.)
I saved a total of 11.45 seconds ! or 685 frames. Here are the improvements:
First part: I skip the touchscreen tutorial by pressing L,R,Start and select simultaneously.
Second part: Once in the level, I build Y-speed and start doing glitchy longjumps. They allow me to have a good angle for the triplejump onto the arch.
-after the triplejump, I land on the side of the slope. Its because the slope is slippery, and usualy jumping on it puts you in a slope jump state, so its impossible to triple jump on this slope. But by landing on the side of the slope, the game thinks Im on the floor below, while still being on the arc floor. It allows me to single and double jump faster.
-Then I use the touchscreen to turn around and triplejump instantly, instead of building Y-Speed again.
-Once up there, I jump and slidekick, and use once again the touchscreen to turn around and initiate a glitchy longjump. This gives me a good angle to then jump, and longjump.
-Then, once on the ramp, I face the same problem: Im on a steep slope and jumping puts me in a steep jump state. So I walk to the ledge to be able to longjump, then I walk on the ledge again to sideflip, and rech the top. once there I walk to the door.
Third part: Once in the castle, I build Y-Speed and sideflip to the left toad, instead of the right one.
-But instead of talking to the toad, I enter the door hitbox, wich actives a textbox too. The textbox is shorter so its faster + yoshi has to turn less to face the door than to face the toad.
-Then I reactivate the Y-Speed and longjump back to the corridor. once there I walk and longjump to the star optimally.

![(NSMBW) 1-Tower Best attempt at True Jumpless... (OUTDATED) [TAS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rZjj11-JwRY/hqdefault.jpg "(NSMBW) 1-Tower Best attempt at True Jumpless... (OUTDATED) [TAS]
This video is a TAS of the 1-T TJC, however, this level wasnt actually doable at the time. Since then, it has been improved, and you can see the result here ! https://youtu.be/LONyBkDjROc
I still have an idea for the missing part, but Ill need more knowledge on how bubbles works, and how to manipulate them.
Also, as you might have noticed, the time limit is very, very important here, as the two parts of this video take longer than the total time allowed by the stage, so thats going to be yet another problem to take care of...
As it stands, I can enter the final door with 20 in game time (IGT) left and I can still take out the boss in time.
Anyways, heres what happens in the video:
First, I stack everyone to send yellow toad to the first platform.
Here, I wait to get Luigi on the second section of the level, and kill yellow toad.
I stack everyone again and send blue toad to the next level.
But theres a problem here: a dry bones is coming towards blue toad and he cant get height to kill it. Thus, I get on the moving platform and perform a precise grounpound to kill the dry bones like that.
Here, I get Luigi on the platform, and Mario and Yellow toad (Yoad ?) on the block in order to give them power ups. I need to give them power ups for a section coming up later, so I will have to escort Mario and Yoad using Luigi and Blue toad (Boad ?) all the way to the next big section.
To do that, I have to get Mario and Yoad always on top of a ledge so that they can get even higher. So to do that, I use Yoads ice flower power to stay on the dry bones while Luigi and Boad come back.
At the same time, I need to scroll the screen further up in order to be able to kill Boad and Luigi, so I bounce Yoad off of Mario and groundpound to get just about the right height.
After this, I escort Mario and Yoad up the swinging platforms and I start to set up for the highest stack so far:
First, Yoad at the bottom because it makes Boad jump just a little higher (a tile heigher), and I need this height.
Then, Boad, because I need a big player to be able to do higher bounces (by bouncing on a player that is itself bouncing on a player)
Then Mario because hes big
Then Luigi to be sent to the stars.
By bouncing Luigi on top of Mario a little later than Mario bounces on top of Boad, the animation for Mario getting squished will end as Luigi jumps a second time, so Luigi will be launched from the top of Marios head at normal height, and not from the top of Marios head at squished height, which gains another tile of height, which is just enough to get here.
Once Luigi is up there... well thats where I get stuck. I can get a little more height, but then I have to get up a massive structure, and theres nothing I can really do... Or is there ?
I do have an idea, but its too hard for me right now, so I want to keep going before coming back to this level.
For the second part of the level, I am high enough to kill the players standing near the checkpoint, so I use that to my advantage to get Yoad on top of the swinging platform. From there, I get Luigi up on the ledge, and I wait for the right cycle to pop Marios bubble to get on the highest swing of the platform, in order to get high enough to kill the toads.
Here, I can just do a stack to send Boad up to the small swinging platform, kill Mario to get on top of the block, kill Luigi and do a mushroom strat to pop his bubble, kill Mario, Luigi again, then the toads, Mario and Luigi again.
Here, I set up for the next trick: sending Yoad on the swinging platform. I do this by setting up a triple stack (or quad stack ? idk), but I need to avoid anyone else getting on this level, as they will be stuck without any death possibilities.
Once Yoad is up, I kill Mario in order to send him two swinging platforms up. However, Yoad cant get high enough to pop Mario and make him reach the second swingin platform. Fortunately, I have one last trick up my sleeve: simultaneous groundpound.
If two or more players groundpound at the same time, it will create a shock wave, detroying everything on screen, and making players that touch a the ground do a little jump... which is enough to pop Mario and make him reach the swinging platform !
Once Mario is up, I kill Boad and make him reach the highest swinging platform. Then I kill Luigi and pop him very high so he can scroll the screen high enough to kill Mario and the toads. Once they all spawn back, all three bubbles are popped and a stack of three can be made to reach the highest level.
Once the door is entered, the boss fight is a breeze compared to the rest of the level, so I destroy Larry without jumping and the levels done !

I love you all !")
![(NSMBW) 2-6 + secret exit Ultra Jumpless [TAS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t-PdekCMAdE/hqdefault.jpg "(NSMBW) 2-6 + secret exit Ultra Jumpless [TAS]
Hello everybody ! In this TAS I complete 2-6 and get to the secret exit UJC ! Can you guess where were going next ?
Heres a reminder on the rules:
No 2 button
No A button
No motion controls
No mini mushroom form
In this level, I just do some swag using some strats weve already used to get through the level.
For the secret exit though, things get a little more complicated: the exit is just really high in the sky. To put in perspective, a jump + propeller spin barely reaches the pipe.
This is so high that I need to bounce all 4 players, but also while they are big to get more distance.
In order to get everyone big, I open a mushroom block earlier in the level, then I collect the red coins to spawn bonus propeller mushrooms.
thats nifty
And thats basically it. Thanks for watching !

![(NSMBW) 2-Cannon Ultra Jumpless [TAS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tDnR8MfSfNs/hqdefault.jpg "(NSMBW) 2-Cannon Ultra Jumpless [TAS]
Helloooooooo !! Here we are once again with another insane strat !
This is a short video, but incredibly significant !
Here are the rule of Ultra Jumpless just in case (since theyre not in the video because oops I forgot):
No 2 button
No A button
No Motion Controls
No Mini Mushroom
I am so glad this strat exists, I was sad after realizing that 1-Cannon wasnt doable, but this makes it up for it.
I managed to complete this level with minis quite a while ago, back even before doing 2-4, and thats when I discovered the infinite GPR tech. But this tech was too OP, so I had to ban minis. Therefore, I was back to the drawing board again.
When randomly messing around in this level because thats what I do to find new ideas, I realized that you could groundpound someone and still bounce on them if you canceled the gp at the right time. So with that, you can get two players up one tile if you have one of them bouncing on the other:
You get them near the ledge, the player on top grounpounds the other, the other gets knocked away and up, and the player on top then bounces on the knocked player. This way, both players are up the ledge and the player on top is still bouncing on the other one.
So with this, I realized it could actually be used to bring multiple players up a ledge.
Ill call this a Ground Pound Bounce (GPB)
However, I need to get multiple players up a two-tile ledge !
So in order to do that, I use another tech that I showed back in 1-T : a multiple groundpound shockwave (GPW for Ground Pound Wave ?) ! Using this, the player on the bottom gets an upwards boost, and combining this with a GPB at the peak of the boost, you can actually get up two tiles !
This tech is sick
Ill call this a Wavebounce, which is definitely not a Smash Ultimate reference.
So, with this I can make it up the two tile ledge with all 4 characters, without any of them having to die !
So once Im here, I use a GPB and a GPW to get everyone to the cannon, and thats how this level is done !
Ill take a break next week as we move to world 5 !
Thank you all for watching and reading !
Also, thank you for following this silly series of video, it means so much to me !
