nemi43 | SMG2: Another Gravity Gauntlet shortcut @nemi43 | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 18 hours ago
This isn't easy, but it seems pretty simple:
1. I hold right while long-jumping into the lava wall, and I keep holding right until Mario falls off the stage.
2. Soon after falling off the stage, Mario's gravity briefly reverses. About 0.5 seconds after this reversal, I hold left to slow Mario down--if I don't hold left, Mario's speed causes him to fly completely off the stage. Holding left either too soon or too late can cause death.
3. Once Mario turns upside-down, I hold up-left.
For some reason, Mario sometimes dies even after landing in the area with the Whomps. I still don't know what causes this, and it's the main reason I'm unsure about attempting this in a full-game run.
This shortcut makes getting the Comet Medal more costly, but it makes the Comet Star shorter. I'll need to do timing tests to determine if getting the Comet Medal is still worthwhile if this shortcut is ever used in a full-game run.
