Star Revenge 7.5 OW3 entry without hitting checkpoint box (proof of concept) DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-01-20 | For context: There's an invisible box at the start of the normal entrance to OW3 that voids all checkpoints when you go in. This is a way around that box.If this can get faster than ~1:00 it's faster in 2 star, as you need to reenter FFF for checkpoint glitch after already going there once due to the voiding box.No audio because I'm an idiot.
ThruSpace Keydron 1 Stage 1-EX Best Possible Times DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-08-30 | EX was a pain because gate 4 was incredibly close to gate 3, but on the other end of the stage. Still was able to just BARELY squeeze through without letting go of ZR.Stage 1-3 were done before by other people on speedrun.com but EX is a first, at least for submitted runs.also no this isnt a romhack
Star Revenge 7.5 v1.0 Enter Cannon without grabbing star in VOTMW + RTA-viable Star 5 Badgeless DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-08-30 | Only possible in v1.0 of the game because in v1.1 you cant get 100c stars by collecting 100 coins anymore.Funny strat, though the RNG at the end is very stupid. took me like 5 times to get good RNG (technically one time I got good rng but I fucked it up because I grabbed the star in the wrong spot which meant I did the thing where you ledgegrab during the star animation)
Star Revenge Redone 1.3 101 Star PB/WR in 1:59:43 DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-08-09 | Can't believe I actually got a sub-2 (12 minute pb!!!), in a fucking marathon run (why the layout looks different than normal)i knew i had oodles of room for improvement in this category, but wasnt expecting to get a run with a ton less death + doesnt screw up the ending at all (just like my previous pb).
Star Revenge 7.5 Enter Slide + UB star Badgeless DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-07-27 | This increases the Max% Badgeless star count from 125 to 130 (1 star left!!!)This is also a LOTADIgnore the star count, I did this using a state from my Max% Badgeless LOTAD because I was lazy.The big discovery here is a way to enter the slide, I knew about the slidekick strat for getting the UB star there beforehand, but wasn't able to get in the slide to get the star. The other 4 stars in the slide are trivial badgeless, so I opted not to show them, but since the UB clip wasn't obvious, I figured I should show it to prove it's possible.I'm sure a MIPS clip seems like a really obvious solution to clip into the Super Block, so how did it take me so long to figure that out?The answer is: I've tried clipping into the slide with MIPS many times before. This clip in particular is incredibly precise. I'm not sure on the exact precision required but I'm pretty sure it's less precise than floating point precision, but significantly more precise than unit precision (for both Mario and MIPS' position)In the past, especially back when I didn't know how to use STROOP, I just didnt realize how precise this needed to be in order to make it, and I just assumed it was impossible to clip in with MIPS because of that.I'd argue that with the precision needed, you kinda need to use a tool like STROOP in order to clip in here, it'd be pretty hard to get the precision you need without something like the STROOP map.Now, the only star left is the second star in Bowser 2/Flying Factory Fortress (The one that is in the area where you unlock the triple jump badge)I'll be honest, I was expecting that one to be possible a lot earlier, considering it's been the last star to require the wall badge for a LONG time, but it's incredibly elusive.

Disaster Quest Pi 1 star WR/First Run (37:25) DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-07-12 | in vc during runWas messing around in DQ PI (spurred on by a recent chain of comments) and I found the long jump strat I do in the lava area in the final fight, which is SIGNIFICANTLY easier than the old triple jump strat I did, and makes running this actually not an absolute pain in the ass (it's still a pain in the ass, just not absolutely a pain in the ass)

Star Revenge 7.5 C6 Waterfall in 0.5 A Presses DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-05-23 | ill be honest, half (hehe) the reason im making this video is just because its a star that (for now) requires a half a press and I thought it'd be interesting to post (be tuned for another half a press star soonish)i hope i dont need to explain what a half a press is herealso, this *might* not actually require half an a press, i just couldnt think of a way to get up to the top area without holding a to use the noteblock (i couldnt get enough speed to NBG via dive)though honestly, i have no motivation to actually lower this, since getting rid of the half an a presses in the game would only save A presses or time if 82 or 131 are at 0 A presses, which is never happening.
Star Revenge 7.5 Super Badge in 1 A Press DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-05-22 | Most important badge in the game, when I first looked at this level, I thought it'd take many A presses to get anywhere (I did a little trial run and it took me 3 A presses to get to the bobomb), just because of the beginning jumps. But then, I found the Pedro spot, so it only takes 1 A press now :)Originally I was going to make a video of both stars + the super badge, but I couldnt figure out a way to get the star that takes you to the end of the level without pressing A a second time. The star is high enough in the "room" that you can't rollout into it, and while there's a bunch of goombas in the second part of the level, there's no way in hell you're bringing a goomba clone from the second part (not to mention that you wouldnt be able to use the clone anyways)The only way I could even go over there was via a cloned bobomb that I then turned handsfreeIf you could grab that star 1xA, I'm pretty sure it'd be possible to do reds as well 1xA, though, since it takes you to the end of the level. Plus, there's a lot to work with in this level, so I would not be surprised if there was a way to get reds 1xA regardless, but it might be painful (goomba cloning strats)(Also, I figured I'd also show off the 0xA way to get into the main part of OW2 at the end because why not, it involves misalignments so its cool)
Badgeless Triple Jump in Star Revenge 7.5 using a Pedro Spot DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-05-22 | I've known this was theoretically possible for a couple years; the triple jump badge works the same as the wallkick badge; they both change mario's state whenever he's in either the wallkick or the double jump action, but after all the game logic and stuff. For badgeless wallkicks, you can use that one frame to dive and cancel out of the wallkick state before the code checks to see if mario is wallkicking, and theoretically you could do a similar thing with the one frame of the double jump state you get without the Triple Jump badge.However, doing so requires you to land the frame that you jump (otherwise the badge stuff changes the state back to a single jump), and that is kind of difficult. I was messing around in the start of LFB earlier today (for something which you should see soon most likely), and I found this pedro spot, and then I realized "you can totally triple jump out of this, the weird floor above the pedro spot means that you land as soon as you double jump"and sure enough, it worked
SR7.5 HBM Switches star + Lava Badge in 2x A presses DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-05-17 | Much lower than I thought this star would go, when I first looked at it.In ABC, lava badge turns from the most useless badge, to like actually the most important badge (because well the other ones either require you to press A, or are hard to use to press A since its hard to groundpound on a super or ultra block without the A button)While the lava badge allows you to use lava more, which is really useful since lava makes you go up without pressing A. For example, it saves well more than 3 A presses in Purple Waste JungleOriginally did this in 3x A presses, after I gave up on a misalignment I found for the second "waterfall" (it was incredibly hard to get to, im not sure it was even possible), until i was an idiot and i had to redo basically the whole star because I didn't realize that there was a scuttlebug I could use for the second "waterfall"Also RNG manipulating the chuckya at the end was a bitch. I thought I got it once only for it to be in fact a desync and I had to get it again.As for the remaining 2 A presses, I think itll be impossible to save the first one, because I mean look at that starting area, theres nothing you can use to skip that A press really. Second A press I could *maybe* skip by using something like bully battery or some other shit to get to the switch platform and back 0x, but screw that.(This is a LOTAD)
Star Revenge 7.5 C5 Sand - 0x A Presses DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-05-17 | You can't slidekick directly from the first platform to the platform the star is on, so I needed to do some bobomb shenanigans to get over there 0xHad the idea to do an invisible handsfree bloated bobomb and it somehow workedHard LOTAD, put basically zero effort into optimizing anything

Beating the entire Star Revenge series in one run (Star Revenge series any% speedrun) in 11:46:19 DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-04-09 | There's a cut in the video around 6:47, thats because windows decided to crash and subsequently update at the worst possible time (fuck windows)As such this is technically a TA run and not an RTA runTime elapsed between the two parts: Around 18 minutes (if you count this time, it isn't sub-12, but i refuse to count that time personally.Still was done in one sitting, but this isn't a leaderboard category so it shouldn't matter much.

Star Revenge 7.5 2 Star in 10:15 (World Record) DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2024-01-04 | this run was honestly insane. i decided randomly to run this for a bit because i was bored, and i got a run with only 2 notable mistakes, both around like 10 seconds long.

Star Revenge 8 - C12 Secret Path of the Stars Badgeless (RTA Viable strat) DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2023-10-05 | I've done it- I've gotten every single star thats currently known to be possible badgeless. (And more importantly, found RTA viable strats for all of them)This star is weird, there's been 2 ways that have technically been possible in order to get it badgeless, but they're both incredibly inconsistent. (Specifically, one is a really precise thwomp BLJ, and one is a long and RNG filled chuckya climb)So, while I think JARP has gotten it before, with the BLJ strat I'd never consider getting it in a max% badgeless run, just because it's super inconsistent.But then this morning, I had the idea for this strat, and it actually works!What really makes this strat work is that with hat in hand glitch, there's zero chance of you accidentally setting the HOLP (unlike Instant Release) so I can just try it over and over. It's very unlikely that I will make the cannon shot first time, since I don't know exactly where the HOLP is, but I can use the information gathered from it to come up with a better shot for the next attempt and so on.It only took me 30 minutes to get this (I cut out the excess attempts), so this is 100% RTA viable, and I could see myself doing this in my next Max% Badgeless run

Ztar Attack Rebooted 12 Ztar in 8:17.04 DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2023-09-25 | I don't like the 50 star blj so I decided to skip it by getting different stars. Of course, this means the run is super slow but I just wanted a time in this category (idc much about quality for this one).

Star Revenge 7.5 badgeless c11 in-level HOLP setup for stars 3, 4, and 6 DNVICs miscellaneous stuff 2023-08-27 | Video used states; its just for demonstration purposes.Much better than the old C5 holp setup. Means that if you fuck up the instant release, you dont have to void your checkpoint. Also means that you can bombclip through the gate instead of having to do the awful slope jumps, since you dont need to preserve the holp at that point.(note: for bridge, you still need to do the awful slope jumps since you cant get a star or die to go back to the CP since you need to preserve the red switch. this still means you only need to do them once instead of twice, though.)
