Super Mario Sunshine Arcade 2 100% in 1:40:39 (Segmented) Samuel Gaudreault 2021-03-09 | This is a segmented run, meaning that it is a compilation of my best attempts at each shine. The goal of this run is to showcase the potential of Arcade 2 as a speedrun. It is not meant to be a TAS in the traditional sense, nor is it really meant to be an RTA theory run.I made this because I was never truly satisfied with the state I left Arcade 2 in. It came out just as I lost interest in speedrunning, and as such I never really gave it the proper attention it deserved. This is my effort to right that wrong.My original plan was to present this run timed using in-game time, which is why you see the on screen timer. However, due to the timer not appearing on some levels and not resetting properly on others, I decided to abandon this idea.I have considered making a version with commentary, if there is interest for such a thing. If you have questions, feel free to leave a comment, I read all of them and will respond as soon as I can.
Arcade 2: Pianta 3 no fruits Samuel Gaudreault 2020-04-26 | Done using savestates. First one is easy, last one is kinda precise and hard to line up with the moving mushroom, middle one is stupid hard RTA. Would be fast for any% tho

Super Mario Sunshine Arcade 100% in 1:07:37 Samuel Gaudreault 2019-02-20 | Retimed to 1:07:37.933.Previous PB was actually 1:10:35, but I lost the splits due to a PC crash, losing almost 45 seconds of golds in the process, which makes the end game seem a lot better than it actually is.Deaths in Ricco 2, Gelato 7, Pinna 4, Pinna 5, and Sirena 4.Also puts me 2nd on the any% leaderboards finally, which is cool I guessIDK if I wanna keep going, there's obviously still a lot of room to improve but I'm also starting to feel burnt out so I'll probably take a break.

Delfino Plaza Freerun TAS Samuel Gaudreault 2018-05-10 | Not super happy with this, but I figured I might as well finish it. I tried to show off some cool things, but a lot of the sections in between are admittedly lackluster.Rerecord count: 3335 (yikes)

Gelato Skip with Yoshi on NTSC-U/PAL Samuel Gaudreault 2017-07-29 | This trick was originally found by Zelpikukirby on Twitter, but no video of it is on YouTube yet, so I figured I'd make something for documenting purposes.I explain the visual cues I am using in the subtitles, so be sure to check those.Useful for Hoverless and No Major Skips for runners on versions other than JP
Blooper storage Samuel Gaudreault 2017-06-14 | Lots to unpack here. First, when you store a Blooper on a catwalk, it starts spinning around the catwalk, which is pretty funny to look at. It also seems to ignore being sprayed by Yoshi juice. If you press B again while the Blooper while it's on top of the catwalk, Yoshi just eats it as normal. However, if you press B while the Blooper is on the underside of the catwalk, it turns invisible and updates to a spot closer to Yoshi's mouth. It can still fire goop at you and damage you, but you cannot kill it by stomping on it. You can still spray it with regular water to kill it, or spray it with Yoshi juice to turn into a platform, which will give a coin once it disappears
The intended way to do the Goopy Inferno Samuel Gaudreault 2017-06-10 | More of a cool trick to show off than an actual strat, can be about 10 seconds faster with crazy good RNG.
Super Mario Sunshine Softlock Samuel Gaudreault 2017-04-28 | This was probably already known (since it was so easy to find), but I decided to record this just in case.For some reason, the game does not allow you to enter Y cam on this particular roof while Delfino Plaza is flooded. However, if you are already in Y cam when you land on the roof, it will not force you out of it. In this state, you will be unable to do anything except pause, open the map, and spray water. Normally, you can avoid getting stuck by simply switching to the hover nozzle and hovering out of the area with the fixed camera. If you enter this area with a fruit in hand, however, you will be unable to spray water to escape, nor will you be able to drop the fruit, causing a softlock.I tried replicating this in a few areas that prohibit Y cam (specifically the boathouse and the room with the chuckster shine) and was unable to pull off a similar softlock, as the camera gets reset upon entering those areas.
