[World Record] New Super Mario Bros. Any% in 22:11.517 JoshTGR 2023-06-15 | Really nice pace into gauntlet, unfortunately 8-6 strikes again, and a small choke in Bowser's ruined 22:0X."This is really annoying" OK man.
Commentary of my 22:11.517 in NSMB Any% JoshTGR 2023-12-31 | Unscripted so I likely ramble on a bit, but hopefully it gets the job done.Whenever I get a run I'm more satisfied with (probably like a 22:06), I might make a scripted one.However I don't plan on playing this game or category in the coming months; I didn't approach this grind correctly and it really burnt me out.

SMBW - Condarts Away - Regular and Fast Cycle JoshTGR 2023-10-23 | Fast "Wet" cycle saves 4-5 secondsIt's kinda tight but I've gotten pretty consistent at it in an hour or soTo get the condart at the wonder seed to line up, you have to stall a tiny bit in the middle of the two horizantal condarts; this way the condart at the wonder seed changes direction earlier

Cannonless Beginner Run with notes JoshTGR 2023-09-10 | RNG Manip: The RNG Manip used is the same as Any%, dubbed "mini route", since we use it to get the mini mushroom in 5-Ghost House. However, it is pretty beneficial for Cannonless as well. The manip allows for (mostly) consistent RNG throughout the run, including better map movement and boss fights. This particular run uses the early fire route, which as the name implies, uses fire in early game. This RNG manip allows you to get either fire or shell in 1-2 from the Red Block, and provides a backup shell or two later in the run. The two major RNG bossfights, fish and Petey, usually give favorable results. World 8 map movement in particular is near perfect 100% of the time. At a high level, Worlds 1 and 5 can also produce near perfect map RNG. All runners are encouraged to set up RNG manip, as all can benefit from it. Link to download software to find a manip for your console: github.com/SuuperW/NSMB_RNG There's some notes (granted most are for any%) on manip here as well: docs.google.com/document/d/1jPOSKe1fqFGKCs85TXbvjF99vPDgbQJRzu_4iaXecek/edit?usp=sharing QSG - Quick Slide Glitch - involves accelerating up to your max x-velocity, which is about 3 pixels/frame. Normally, sliding in the shell will result in a speed ~8% slower than this, but QSG actually bypasses the slower cap. To get QSG, you must have a slower speed than your max traditional shell speed. Run off of a ledge, and on the last couple (usually 3) frames, hold down, then down left (or down right if you're traveling left), as quickly as possible. You'll enter your shell, and accelerate faster than usual (so long as you hold left), and you should hit the ~3 P/F speed.Regions and Cannonless: There are 2 spots in Cannonless where your game region matters: 2-3 and 8-6. The North American version is actually the "first" released version, while Europe, Japan, and Korea are equal in terms of gameplay. On NA copies of the game, you can clip into (but not through) sloped ceilings, such as the ones in 2-3. Clipping into the ceiling should be avoided if possible, so if you're on a NA or Australian copy of the game, try to avoid these ceilings. This was patched in later versions, so it is not a problem for them.In 8-6, the transition load is ~0.2 seconds faster on the NA/Aus copies of the game, and the reason is still unknown.Neither of these are reason enough to purchase a specific version of the game however.Extra Star Coins Route for some World 7 Safety: W1-1 Coin 1, W1-5 Coin 1/2, W2-1 Coin 1/2/3, W2-A Coin 1, W3-1 Coins 2/3, W3-2 Coin 2, W3-C Coin 3, W5-1 Coin 3, W5-A Coin 3, W5-T Coin 1/2/3This gives 16 star coins, enough to go to a mushroom house if you die in World 7 before the W7-4 Secret ExitIntended 3-Castle movement: youtu.be/eaMdr8fkLl4?t=975Better 7-Tower movement: youtu.be/eaMdr8fkLl4?t=1563 Walrus's PB is good to look for more simple movement if you want to see potential alternatives to what I do.5-Tower level layout with mapped out movement: media.discordapp.net/attachments/214805474514567171/716026783127830659/5-T_full__description-1.png?width=163&height=669Yiply's Any% tutorial for insight on World 8: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-utMBkQIESSQcY3gPMAS307zgh47Xhqh

Cannonless 401k score manip example (W5) JoshTGR 2023-07-31 | (Essay Alert)Similar to the any% score manip, you can prevent the red block from spawning for 2 levels. If you exit 5-1 with 400,000 - 401,000 points, you can get through 5-Tower without getting up to 450,000 points. This prevents the red block you (hopefully) hit in 5-A from re-spawning early, as blocks respawn at multiples of 50K pointsNote I haven't really tested this so there's a chance you can get better or worse map movement than what happened here.Some score markers throughout the run you can kind of keep up with:1-2 flag is ~25K points1-5 flag is ~99K points2-2 flag is ~168.5K2-A flag is ~217K3-B flag is ~304KEntering 5-1 you should have ~376K points, and you can mess with movement/flag to hit 381,750 or slightly higher after touching the flag. It's easiest to get 10 star coins by the end of 5-1. Normal coin route usually gets 2 in 5-Tower: instead you can get 3rd coin in 5-1, and either 2nd coin in 3-Castle or 2nd coin in 5-1, as both require a triple jump with shell.You can also mostly hug the left wall in 5-T until you get to the skip to avoid more coins than i did.Not really a "strat" to stress over but one to keep in mind for wr level shid
