That's it folks, time to retire... x'D
Jokes aside, I have been hunting for this achievement, or rather, a milestone in Super Mario Bros. 35 Continued Interest's history. At long last, someone finally has beaten the RTA Challenge twice in one run! Unsure about the very first ever double-completion in general, but this one has to be the first ever recorded one! I managed to beat it twice in one run earlier last month (August 2024), but I literally did it in a Discord voicechat while I just wanted to showcase some people how truly insane bots are in this game.
Round 2 RTA done in 27 minutes... Goodness man. How does he do it!?
Thumbnail is an old unfinished artwork I made 5 years ago, I didn't feel like making a new one just yet.

I turned my parents their guestroom into a race course, made an 8-figure circuit that works pretty decent, but then I thought: What if I make a short endless loop video about Mario just chilling while Luigi having all the fun?!
Sorry for the lack of any audio, this is just a test. Also showing the Redmi
Note 10 Pros camera quality on amateur levels.
... And maybe Ill make more of those videos, I have some ideas in mind. :)
Also tried to do something funny with my camera zoom, just sharing the ideas I guess. xD

![[Mario Kart Wii] Quick MenuSingle update (work in progress + info)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xBH_oyCb_BA/mqdefault.jpg "[Mario Kart Wii] Quick MenuSingle update (work in progress + info)
So I learned a few new things while I was working on my documentation and experiments for modifying .brlyt files, I decided I make a quick video about the progress I made so far.
So in the original game, you have the Grand Prix, Time Trials, VS Race and Battle buttons (and the unused Mission mode button, whatever). Theres this video file thats being played inside those buttons that fades away on the right side...
Interestingly, the video is split in 4 different sections, the most-left one being the most opaque, while the one on the right is the most transparent one. This video only fills up the half of the button.
So you might ask, whats the other half of the button?? Apparently thats a complete black texture to simply fill the button.
So what I did was I took the video sections out, placed them to the right side of the button and I fooled around with all those textures that the menu uses for those buttons.
Whats more interesting is that you can get rid of the size-changing animation whenever you hover over a button, without removing it completely! Since all those parts that make those buttons complete are in sub-folders structure-wise, you can simply put the stuff you dont want to have its size changed into a different sub-folder.
For reference, pretty much everything aside from the touch object is put in a sub-folder named pause_w_null. But all of this is also being put in a different sub-folder (like putting a zip file into a zip file; its double-archived).
You just drag all of the stuff out and put it in the folder above, and magically those objects dont change size anymore!
More information:
- The first menu pages button brlyt filename is common_w129_movie_button_single_top.brlyt. For simply changing the position of the buttons, you can modify SingleTop.brctr instead;
- I used Switch Toolbox for changing the .brlyt files, and fixed cut-off text with Benzin (if they suddenly bug out like that);
- I also used Wexoss Toolbox for modifying SingleTop.brctr;
- Making the touch objects pane invisible prevents the player from hovering over the buttons. This object alone is the hitbox for those buttons, hence why I cant highlight a button if I go over the video objects on the right.

Good freaking Lord this mod is tough as nails.
I declare Lost 6-2 as the Bowser in the Fire Sea-level in Super Mario Bros. 35! xD
I have to be honest with you all, I have no idea what lines and patterns to choose from to make progress. I did an oopsie in Lost 7-1 by going inside the pipe, while I did not go in the pipe in Lost 6-1 to get rid of all the Bowsers.
This was one of my first attempts to actually do a proper RTA Challenge Warped in this mod, and the first time playing SMB35 in like a month or so, so Im rusty as fudge too... :)
Lets see who will be the first person to actually beat this...!

So Ive been playing Formula Kart Wii for some time by now but I never really uploaded all the matches I played, so let this be my first one.
Formula Kart Wii is a Mario Kart Wii mod that turns the game into a bit more of a real racing game where you need to finish a lot more laps. The games physics is also tweaked to make the game a bit more different from Mario Kart Wii, including karts having a much better mini-turbo.
The mode we were playing was Ramp Up, a mode that increases your max speed a tiny bit after each lap has been finished. Starting the 20th lap, the physics thats normally used for the 200cc engine class kicks in where you can fall faster, as well as the possibility to brake-drift. And of course, the games patched in a way the race just doesnt end at the 5th minute mark or after 5 minutes and 40 seconds has been passed (which were used to thanks to the CTGP-R mod these days). Sadly we cant do anything about the random disconnections that might happen during the races. Either the custom server we play on is having issues, or our connection is somehow unstable.
The tracks we played in order were a remake of Wii DK Summit, a custom track called Frigid Freezeway, Wii U Animal Crossing and Greenway Circuit.
Most of the people you hear in this video were in a Discord call (me included), who also were the players in the matches that are being played here. The custom voiceclips in the game are from the Super Mario World cartoon (Yoshis voiceclips) over Yoshi, and my own voice over Mii Medium group D.
And sorry for the lower video quality where stuff gets blurry, I forgot to change my recording bitrate... xD

![[Super Mario World] Loopholes by Keyholes - Star World (RetroAchievements)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yk7YoVFmzjs/mqdefault.jpg "[Super Mario World] Loopholes by Keyholes - Star World (RetroAchievements)
This is a challenge where the player only can get 1100 points or less in order to get the achievement. The player is required beating all the Star World levels and youre free to choose which order the levels will be beaten in.
Since people had issues with getting this achievement (mainly understanding why they cant get on top of Star World 3, or getting enough points in order to get this achievement. Heres a video to not even setting things up to get the achievement, but even exploiting it!
You can instantly transform into Cape Mario if you grab a feather off-screen, and the score gets added a few frames later. Once you get the feather with no points, then youre ready to beat Star World with even less than 1100 points, since you have the feather and can zip through the blocks. Just do it better than me, I done goofed with the second zip... xD
A less cheesy method is to get into any level and touch a midway flag, this way Mario grows and you can skip the Mushroom in Star World 1.
The last part of the video shows how you can beat Star World 3. You can bring a Yoshi with you (I chose for Star World 2s blue Yoshi), if you run and then jump, you scroll the screen a bit. Now with the screen scrolled a bit, you simply can jump off Yoshi at the peak of your jump (after jumping off the highest Throw block), and you make it to the Key just fine.
For Star World 1, pay attention where there are holes. If you keep Spin Jumping to the right, you get 1200 points. So in order to get it the legit way, you must find a hole where at least 2 Turn blocks can be skipped (mainly in the first section, there are the coins on the left, and the Dragon Coin somewhere at the bottom on the right side).
Im sorry for exploiting the system, but it had to be done at some point. :)

I thought itd be fun to play a match with a streamer as I noticed they were playing Formula Kart Wii. And since there was a spot left, I decided to join in.
So big shoutouts to Act Ishikawa, feel free to check their content out while youre here: https://www.youtube.com/ActIshikawa
Apparently it was all custom tracks and this one was certainly a nice one. Layout-wise, this one is perfect for me when it comes to taking turns, even with the sloppy movements I made, it was really fun to race on.
Sadly this track itself is pretty flawed when it comes to the collision map, where out of bounds sections are in the floor if youre in a Mega Mushroom-state... If only those werent a thing dude, for once I thought I finally played pretty decent for the times when I got pretty good lines with my kart. xD
And at the end people really destroyed me, I barely had any chance to come back and the peer pressure was on the more chaos happened. You hate to see it.

![[Mario Kart Wii] Custom Mission mode menu (work in progress)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/z3ROqVRH6g4/mqdefault.jpg "[Mario Kart Wii] Custom Mission mode menu (work in progress)
Ive been working on this custom menu for quite some time, but now I jumped back in for one, maybe two days, and suddenly the whole menu is changed!
After thinking about modifying this menu for quite some time, Ive decided to make it possible to run this custom menu without any extra codes or scripts, so this is still purely vanilla Mario Kart Wii with only using the Enable Mission mode-code.
I thought itd look pretty good to make the button color animation so that it becomes a rainbow. I added a texture on top of the Level buttons so that only the outline pops out more, while the Stage buttons doesnt have this texture (which causes the whole button to pop out instead of the outlines).
The reason why I went back to this was actually because I have a little bit more knowledge about the menu files, so itd be nice to work on some modifications again. And after at least a decade, we finally have pages on the Custom Mario Kart Tockdom Wiki that explains what menu file does what and whats used for. Its about time we have this.
I also showcased the 4:3 screen resolution here because if youre playing through a mission, once you finished, the end result buttons are originally misaligned. The reason why this was a thing is because they most likely copy-pasted the script that was used for Time Trials where the buttons like Check Ranking and Change Character were removed later on.
Fun stuff!
