I usually post my Super Mario Maker ILs on Twitter but this one’s a bit too long for the video limit so I figured it was a good opportunity to link the thread for people who don’t follow me there: twitter.com/Qbe_Root/status/1219804728978296834


Anyway here’s a breakdown because this one has a lot going on:


Coin 1: I was initially worried about optimizing the bullet climb on the right end of the room, but all I had to do was hit the wall next to the first spring before landing on it. This allows the first two cannons to spawn, but not the third, giving it the perfect delay for a bounce on the third bullet, then the second, then the Goombas.


Coins 2 and 3: Probably the hardest rooms in normal play, but their exits are conveniently placed at the top of the level, so you can just jump over the one-ways.


Coin 4: This room normally has blocks around the Bob-Omb, so the goal is to bounce off Goombas until the path gets cleared, but because of the level’s layout, the Bob-Omb and flamethrower were both able to spawn while I was in the first challenge room, that’s what causes the slight screen shake you can see at 0:21.


Coin 5: Using the leftover Bob-Omb from the previous room, I can skip waiting for the Bob-Omb in this room. But the only way to destroy both blocks from the outside is to hold the Bob-Omb inside the wall, simply throwing it won’t do, so I have to take a detour to get the leaf from one of the skipped challenges.


Coin 6: The short wait at 1:49 is to give the winged platform some time to rise up, a detail that took me way too many deaths to realize was necessary for the boot skip to work. I then take further advantage of the leaf I got by skipping the flying boot section, since the one-ways are too low for Super Mario to get caught under them.


So yeah, the level is made in such a way that you can complete rooms in any order, but the speedrun route ends up being pretty much set in stone.
