I got inspired to do this after reading a discussion about which characters are able to collect which stars and seeing that this star hasn't been done as Yoshi yet (shoutouts to Really_Tall). Collecting this star as Yoshi is normally impossible since Yoshi is unable to break blocks by ground pounding. However, he can break blocks by spitting either a bob-omb or a wooden box at them. I then got the idea to use the property where, if you are facing towards a wall and standing right up against it and spit an object, then that object will pass straight through the wall. After spitting the box through the wall and into the red coins room but not being able to keep it loaded, I remembered Adeal's scuttlebug jamboree video (youtube.com/watch?v=RvzAh1-haN0) and how he was able to keep certain rooms loaded while being out of bounds in order to move the scuttlebugs around the course.

I apologize for taking so long to finish this level! I hadnt realized that it has been over a year since I published my last TAS of this game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFA4pJZnkaw). I was stuck on this level forever because I couldnt figure out how to do the skip at 0:29 for a long time, which kinda demotivated me and made me step away from TASing the game for quite a while. However, a few months ago I decided to try the skip again and I finally figured out how its done. That made me feel a lot more motivated to TAS this game and put this level behind me for good. The All Levels TAS is not dead!

Okay guys so basically I discovered an awesome epic gamer strat in Bomb-omb Battlefield where you long jump on the elevator and keep pressing B while holding R so Mario keeps making the funny ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yahoo noise and then you turn yourself around and youll be in Chomps cage isnt that crazy haha Id like to see someone beat this record someday haha lmaoooooo ;))))
No, BLJs arent possible in SM64DS. I simply hacked my position to different values once I landed on the elevator to make it look like Mario was stuck to the elevator and BLJing on it. Then, when Mario was done BLJing on the elevator, I hacked his position to make him run in place at the top of the elevator, and then I hacked his position to be behind the gate to make it look like he clipped inside of it. This is just something dumb I did for April Fools, so dont mistake it for a real glitch.
(On a more serious note, I have no idea how to time my TASes down to the exact frame, so I probably mistimed it by a few frames.)

Disclaimer: This was an April Fools joke that I did, so please dont mistake the glitch I did as being real.
I cant believe I didnt find this glitch earlier! It allows me to beat the game in just 20 seconds! Its very easy to do. Once you turn on the game, go to the Settings, select Credits, and there! Youve just beaten the game. Its that easy!
Timing starts as soon as the game is turned on, and ends on the first black frame. (When the credits appear)

UPDATE: Due to a change in how runs in this category are timed, this run has been retimed to 14:02, where timing begins when I select New File from the title screen.
Finally PBed in this game after a few months of not running it! This run saves 27 seconds over my previous run (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIxYoQfaDps). Feels good to sneak this in just before 2017 ended. Sub 13 probably wont be happening for a while but it may be possible. Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/skiconow")

Im really sorry this took so long to finish. I recently realized how short this level is, and it should not have taken 2-3 months to get done. Hopefully, the next level takes a lot shorter to finish, because its pretty short and has some fun glitches.
