Kriller37 | Toads Adventure any% / world 7 strategies (read description) @kriller3771 | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
this is kinda a human theory TAS of toads adventure any% i guess, but its more a demonstration of strats i discovered today. i definitely that its very realistic to get to 7-4 on the same pace this TAS does, but the 7-4 is super good on this.
Strats -
7-1: on the spring at the beggining, jump to it, and let go of right before you land on it. aim for the far left side, jump off it, and then press right again once toad is at the peak of his jump. you keep running speed. the jump through the fire bar is frame perfect or maybe sometimes a 2 frame window, but its not that hard. you dont have to slow down or wiggle left at all to get it to work, it just lines up in a way that it works. this saves 2 framerules over the normal route here, and 1 framerule over what was previously thought to be the fastest way you could beat this level rta.

7-2: fpg set up is just a 2 frame right release on the ground, just like pl8-1 (except you dont need to fast accel). then you just gotta jump at the right spot and do pole inputs. this was not found by me, but i think it was found my aldynspeedruns
7-3: nothing special
7-4: there is a lot here
1. by stopping on the far left side of the first elevator, and waiting for a while then going right, you manip the next top small fire bar (second bar after this elevator) so you can jump right past it. see WR to see what the fire bar is normally like. This fire bar that is manipulated was previously thought to always be the same and always be bad / in your way
2. come to a complete stop before the moving platform (the elevator that moves left and right over the big pit), wait until the platform comes to a complete stop, or a bit before that, and then run to it, jump on it, and jump again. slowing down before landing on that block and jumping right as you hit it allows you to keep your speed and is much faster that bonking the block. this whole set up manipulates the next big fire bar to be out of your way. This was previously thought to be total RNG and out of your control.
3 - notice how i keep running speed off the spring, and am able to speed back up to full speed mid air. this is super hard, but it is possible. they that i did it here was by jumping, pressing left for just a couple frames and then letting go of the d pad, landing on the far left of the spring, and then launching up and pressing right to speed back up after clearing the blocks.
