Iwer Sonsch | [TAS] Mario's Vacation Course: Surfboardless, Cannonless, Exitless (SCE) - 5:01.10 @iwersonsch5131 | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 14 minutes ago.
Collecting all 30 stars in Mario's Vacation Course (MVC) by Reonu without using a surfboard, the cannon, or pause exiting. This video is TAS.
It can be easily figured that Mario's Vacation Course can be beaten without Start or L presses, as the only Start press to select a file can be replaced with an A or B press, and the only L press activates speedrun mode, which shouldn't be required for anything in this route. I find SCE more interesting, though, as it is more fast-paced.
The hardest required jump by far appears to be the triplejump wallkick at 4:18. It felt easier to gwk than wallkick there, and you need a triplejump to be able to wallkick high enough (since other moves don't bonk until you're too low to ledgegrab). I haven't been able to find a different way of making this work, though there probably are harder options like 20-50 firsties in a row or maybe dying without landing in the alcove.
There are two major routing mistakes in the run: Not collecting 2 more coins in the red coin area, and leaving the star on top of the tower for the revisit. Each of these mistakes probably lose around 5 seconds.
At 1:48, I abuse the code that cancels triplejump in order to instantly turn around while keeping my speed. I could have used this trick earlier in the run as well, but I didn't know about it until I got to this point.
Rerecords: 10406 including the earlier TASes.

I redid this as a singlestar the same day: https://youtu.be/AiA5VCQh-SI
Came back while katze was on his successful attempt (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2037015200?t=00h10m26s ).
My favourite full kaizo star by a good margin. Every jump is fair and not too precise, but every jump contributes meaningfully to the difficulty of the star.
This makes it by far the densest list star that I have done, reaching tier 3 difficulty with only 6-7 minutes of jumps.
I could call the star a bit linear, with a clearly most efficient route, but there are tons of slower options as well.
The main thing that I noticed at the start of the grind was that I had to memorize the steepnesses of different slopes with the same texture, and know which I could stand on, which would give me steep jumps etc.
I didnt keep track of the grind length but I guess it was probably about 15-ish hours.
Shoutouts to MorningStorm for delivering the best of the best once again, and to Lugmillord for providing the baseline model.")

After reds, you find this door. Then you do this movement. Then you clip through the elevator to get to the lake.
This lets you collect the 100 coin star before dealing with the rolling rocks, and spawn it in a convenient place (on the ground, right under Mario).")

Victory Ascent is a kaizo collab based on Super Mario Treasure World, and hosted by ShiN3.
Stem Major is a relatively conservative edit at first glance, but it features four paths to the center instead of the original one, with a star at the end of each path, a star in the center, and red coins basically everywhere.
There are 39 red coins in this level because ShiN3 gave me a random number from 5 to 50.
Played at 60% speed with savestates.
