UncommentatedPannen | WF Blast Away the Wall No Joystick Allowed @UncommentatedPannen | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 14 hours ago
I collect the star Blast Away the Wall in Whomp's Fortress without using the joystick. This is TAS.
This takes advantage of a glitch found by bad_boot where we can use pausing to regrab the owl in midair (youtu.be/NlVCpULpwpk). You see, Mario can't regrab the owl within a short period of time after letting go, as measured by the global timer. By pausing, we can let the global timer count up without using any in-game time. This means that when we unpause, enough time has passed so that we can immediately regrab the owl, even though we had just let go of him in in-game time. By regrabbing the owl like this, I'm able to change my angle and direct Mario towards the star.
