NX71 | [TAS] SM64 Return of Wrath Global Apocalypse Star 2 in 6'38''26 @nx7173 | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Some people wanted to see the TAS of the Star 2 and I also wanted to upload it and here it is.
I used the same inputs of S1 until lava zone 3:37 where you have to take another route to this star.
from the 3:37 to the S2 I was ~2 hours making this TAS.
rerecords: 4700
time: 6'38''26

I beat the Star 1: Sky High Castle of Koopa in an incredibleFTW time using my shortcuts and ideas in this.
Savestates: 1002
1 hour in this idk
i found that shortcut of 1:17 analyzing the area ok, with sm64 paint you can view the 3d levels and if you look closely at that area or several others it is obvious that there is a shortcut to skip 1 minute of obstacles.")

First Star in the world now much more faster than my previously run https://youtu.be/81XF-zwUrcU.
This is Done in the V1.1.5 version of this game, now the level have less frame walljumping and some platforms are more easy.
also i fixed the graphics in the emulator for the annoying rare black things and the fog level.
Savestates 501, 1 hour with 30 minutes in this.
Time: 7:4825
This is the star 0.0 following the order by Toads Tool 64, In a few days I will do the 100% single stars run in this world, starting with the star 1 to the star 6, the red coins in this version it will be in another day.")

act 8 jul 2024: this star can be beaten in less time with a hyper speed lava boost at the top of level, reducing some seconds.
I found the biggest shortcut in the history of SM64 Black Virus definitely, I was looking and studying this level again of curiosity after complete Infrared Paradise of Return of Wrath in case if I could make a similar Hyper Speed Wallkicks shortcut like in the other level and it was definitely possible!
This Star can be quite fast with this new strats, instead of 30 minutes passing the whole level to only 3 minutes.
This is the longest single (no reds or collectibles) star in Black Virus, now with this new shortcuts, I dont believe it
My previously record: https://youtu.be/53LsDCS-2U8
info:
time: 2:5216
rerecords: 2013
this star requires: have unlocked metal cap
probably I will make a new TAS of the red coins in this level soon, but I need patience and time.

This star really pushed myself to my limits, although I was lucky with some areas and I passed them without many savestates or problems and my route it worked without any complications.
Star 4: Secrets, Checkpoints whatever you want to call it, [yellow coins does not contribute, you can avoid them because the hitbox of the secrets are bigger than coins |example: 3:09| so this star for me cant be called Yellows like the Red Coins Reds mission because you need all specific obj IDs to spawn the Star.
In this case you need only get the Secret IDs to spawn Star, Yellow Coins are a reference object to make sense.
Actually this is the longest no Red Coin Star in this game, ~16 min, At first I thought this star would be possible in less than 25 min but never less than 20 min, having reached it in this time is a great achievement and Star 5 Red Coins may be quite possible in less than 1 hour (60 min) with this fast strategies.
The worst thing of the runs is the big QSLG chains at the top area of the level, in this star 115 ledgegrabs and ~6min for the run, for red coins is the double, so ~12min is secured for S5.
Info:
I TASed this star in 2 livestreams, watch here:
https://youtu.be/9UMfebVXXas
https://youtu.be/1vMubkbnFoU
Rerecords: 7550
Secrets: 7
Time: 15:5412
this star requires: no cap
Random things that I would like to mention:
The single yellow coin object has a terrible draw distance not like red coins, coin formations or solid objects, I never found a solution for that.
Other thing are the Heave-Hos models, why are a Star? is because the original one crashed in this level I dont have idea why, they are not the large number of vertices and triangles of the level, I tested it when this level are almost empty and same thing happens.
3:09 The Secret hitbox helped me a lot with the input to make a new wallkick and reach bottom for a shortcut.
5:46 lucky chuckya RNG position to grab the ground
6:19 you need to make heave-ho fall down to continue up, is something difficult.
7:42 invisible wallkicks area in reference to Vacuum Paradise of Black Virus.
8:27 the long QSLG chain is based on the one of Everlasting Encore of TWDE
12:21 you cant fall down to the secret because there are a invisible ground to avoid some ledgegrab glitches
