'''Footrace with Koopa the Quick''' is the second mission in [[RTA Guide/Bob-omb Battlefield|Bob-omb Battlefield]]. The second star must be selected when entering the stage in order to spawn Koopa the Quick.

== Tips ==

* Try to finish the race as quickly as possible, as Koopa the Quick will run faster after Mario reaches the goal.
* Keep your distance from Koopa the Quick before he gets close to the summit, otherwise he will slow down.
* To understand how manipulating Koopa the Quick works for RTA, and to see the modern route, check [[RTA Guide/Footrace with Koopa the Quick#Explanation|the commentated explanation below]].

== Movement ==

This star is broken down into three sections:

# Beginning - Winning the Race
# Middle - Activating the Cannon
# End - Returning to the Summit

=== Beginning (Winning the Race) ===

{{#ev:youtube|en8qz5uKxyk}}

=== Middle (Activating the Cannon) ===

This section is where it's important to avoid going near Koopa the Quick. This movement is the easiest way to do so, while avoiding as much lag as possible.

Alaris: /* Mario Twitches */ - added video gallery

{{stub}}

'''DDD Skip''' is a trick that uses Mario's speed from BLJs to bypass the 1 Star requirement previously needed from [[1 Star]]. It does this by bypassing [[Dire Dire Docks]]. The glitch works since Mario's speed is above 386, the speed proportional to the width of the Dire Dire Docks portal. This allows Mario to be on one side of the painting on 1 frame and behind it on the next. This page largely serves as an attempt to translate the information on the Japanese [https://w.atwiki.jp/sm64_dddskip/ DDD Skip Wiki] into English in a concise manner.

= SBLJ =
Side Backwards Long Jump (SBLJ) is a [[BLJ]] where instead of using the stairs to build speed, Mario uses the gap in between 2 stairs to rapidly cancel long jumps and get the BLJ Speed building effect.
To start building speed, Mario must get some initial speed from the stairs that are across from the 30 Star door .
As of 11/08/2021, there are 2 main methods to somewhat consistently get enough speed to continue to the next stage.

== Hat Setup SBLJ ==

With regular Mario cam, hug the wall parallel to the stair and position Mario's left leg in the stair.
Next, C-Down and create an angle where the tip of Mario's hat is aligned with a line on the wall. Try not to have Mario's left leg leave the top stair
When you are ready to do the SBLJ, hold down on the analog stick, quickly long jump, and hold up.
Right before Mario hits the stair, hold up left on the analog stick and start pressing A (around 8-10/s). When Mario is exiting, after building enough speed, he should do an extra long jump on the pillar next to the stairs

== Slight Angle SBLJ ==

With regular Mario cam, hug the wall parallel to the stair and position Mario's left leg in the stair.
Next, C-Down and create a slight angle relative to the camera using the analog stick.
When you are ready to do the SBLJ, hold down on the analog stick, quickly long jump, and hold up. When Mario is about to hit the stairs and hold up left but slightly more up than left. At this point start mashing the A button (around 8-10/s). When Mario is exiting, after building enough speed, he should do an extra long jump on the pillar next to the stairs

== Clipping the Fence ==

When attempting the SBLJ there is a big chance to clip the fence next to the stair and lose all speed.
There is one main way to avoid this.
After Performing the SBLJ, right before Mario leaves the stairs (due to his speed), hold up on the analog stick. Instead of long jumping on the pillar, Mario will travel to the right of the pillar
Holding up on the analog stick is usually after 6-9 A presses.
While inconsistent, this is the only known way to avoid the fence.

= ABLJ =
Air Backwards Long Jump (ABLJ) is a type of BLJ in which Mario BLJ's in place while continuing to build up speed. This works since Mario's next intended position is unreachable. Mario builds up speed 1.5x to his current speed. Each frame Mario long jumps late by his speed is reduced by 1/50 his current speed.
This is the phase after Mario leaves the stair with more than 70 speed and reaches the position left of the pillar next to the star door.
The reason for this phase is to build up the speed (>418 for RTA) from >70 which is required to bypass the Dire Dire Docks Painting.

== Mario Twitches ==

During ABLJ Mario's movement on the left pillar is not random. Mario has 3 Possible directions to "twitch" in. Depending on what stage of ABLJ you are in, these twitches hold different meaning but their speed range, in which they occur, are consistent.

<div><ul>

</li>
<li style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: top;">
[[File:Right twitch slow-1.mp4|thumb|right twitch|class=autoplay]]
</li>
</ul></div>

== Speed Building Stage ==
While there is a chance in which you can skip this stage from SBLJ, found in [[RTA_Guide/DDD_skip#Exceptions|Exceptions]], you will most likely not have enough speed to continue onto the Speed Control Stage.
In this phase, Mario will always twitch to the left. After he is finished twitching to the left (usually 2-4 times) he will twitch twice to the right. On the second twitch to the right, we have exited the speed-building stage.

== Speed Control Stage ==
At this stage, Mario's speed will need to be controlled to a specific range. A range in which DDD Skip will work (any Third count jump with less than 510 speed but more than 430 after the jump should work).
During this phase, we will try to avoid building > 510 speed. At this high of a speed, Mario's speed will reset to 0 and DDD Skip would need to be restarted.

=== First Count ===
This stage begins on the first jump after the two right twitches from the Speed Building Stage, this special BLJ is called the "First Count". Every jump after this first count will need to be calculated. The main purpose of the first count is to notify you of the incoming Second Count.

=== Second Count ===

On the Jump after the First Count, Also known as the "Second Count", Mario will twitch in one of 3 ways. No Twitch, Right Twitch, and Left Twitch. How "Violently" - The speed at which the twitch is completed - Mario twitches in each direction can tell you more information about his current speed range.
The jump after any of the four possible twitches is also known as the "Third Count" and should be the last ABLJ before "exiting" and going towards the star door.
Any reference to the word "adjustment" or "adjusting" refers to doing a late frame long jump or pulling down the analog stick in the opposite way of the BLJ, which is always down.

</li></ul></div>

=== Types of Twitches ===

==== No Twitch ====

In this scenario, Mario can be seen moving directly back or not in any discernable direction.
The speed range in which this happens is below 275 speed.
There are 2 ways to adjust for this speed.
<ol>
<li>Don't Adjust at all and do a late frame Long jump</li>
<li>Add an extra long jump to the speed control stage by pulling down a medium length and long jumping again to essentially “reset” the speed control stage, getting a second count again, and hoping to get a twitch.</li>
</ol>
While the ladder of the two options is more consistent, most runners opt to use the first option as it is faster.

==== Violent Right Twitch ====

The speed range in which this happens is ~305
This is one of the hardest situations to consistently correct for.
In this situation, it looks like Mario Violently shakes to the right.
This means Mario has very high speed and if there's no adjustment you will Overspeed.
There is also a possibility in which Mario twitches right and then left. In this case, Mario's speed is on the lower bound of violent right twitch.
You’ll want to instantly pull down on the stick after recognizing this situation and possibly do a late-frame long jump to avoid Overspeed. Using a speed display for this scenario will help you get better at adjusting for this

==== Slow Right Twitch ====

The speed range in which this happens is 275-290.
To adjust for this speed you want to pull down for a medium amount of time . This speed reduction is closer to a No Twitch than a Violent Right Twitch

==== Left Twitch ====
The speed range in which this happens is 290-305 Speed.
This is the only speed range in which Mario has two different twitches.
There is also a possibility that Mario twitches Left and then Right. In this case, Mario's speed is on the lower bound of left twitch.
This range is the most consistent of the four possible twitches to adjust for due to its narrow speed range.
You will want to adjust a medium to large amount for this speed range. (This is closer to a Violent Right twitch than a No Twitch).

== Exit Phase ==
The most overlooked phase of all is the Exit Phase. This is after the Third Count and once you are confident enough with Mario's speed to set up at the Star Door.
You will want to continue holding up on the analog stick until right before you're about to hit the ground. The optimal Exit is one where you hit the ground and instantly go neutral for one frame and hold left on the next frame.
(Though it is not this strict). It is fine to hold neutral for a maximum of 5 frames after which, if you hold neutral for longer, you will lose all speed.
Conversely, if you do not hold neutral enough, Mario will still end up at the door, but at an incorrect door position for any of the setups (although DDD Skip would still be possible), Or Mario will not have enough speed to do any of the setups.
The correct door position is on this specific tile in front of the star door .

= DDD Skip =

DDD Skip now occurs when Mario is at the correct door position and has enough speed to do a setup (418-478).

== Mario's speed ==

Since the use of a speed display is not allowed in RTA runs, you will need to use visual cues to figure out Mario's speed. The best, and most reliable visual cue, is the shadow that Mario produces on the tile he is standing on.
based on how far left, or right, his shadow is on this tile, you can determine a speed range in which Mario is most likely to be in.
Below is a list of Mario Door speeds starting at 420 and increasing by 10 until 470.

File:DDDSkipDoor450.png|450 Speed
File:DDDSkipDoor460.png|460 Speed
File:DDDSkipDoor470.png|470 Speed
</gallery>

== Setups ==
For any of the setups, every frame that the stick is held in one direction, mario loses 1.1 speed per frame. But every frame that the stick is held neutral for, mario loses 1.0 speed per frame.
It takes 10 frames from the star door to reach the DDD painting (on average).
{{#ev:youtube|vvu40CTOLos}}

=== C-Down C-Right ===
Speed Range: 418-427

Consistent Range: 418-426

At the door enter Mario cam then c-down (wait for the camera to stop moving), then c-right. This setup allows you to hold straight down.
=== Straight Down ===
Speed Range: 425-430

Consistent Range: N/A

At the door hold straight down.
=== 8 Frame ===
Speed Range 430-440

Consistent Range: 430-435

At the door hold down right, scroll through the text, and pause on the 8th frame of Mario's movement which is usually right behind the last pillar before the DDD Painting. After hold down and unpause.

=== 3 Frame ===
Speed Range 430-450

Consistent Range: 436-450

At the door hold down right, scroll through the text, and pause on the 3rd frame of Mario's movement which is usually right behind the first pillar before the hallway. After hold down and unpause.

=== Xiah Setup ===
Speed Range 455-464

Consistent Range: 456-462

At the door hold a slight down right angle (bias towards the down direction). Scroll through the text, and on the first frame of Mario's movement, pause and go neutral on the stick. This setup allows you to unpause, while holding neutral, and get the skip. It was also recently discovered that this setup also works for the 405-407 speed range on a different tile.

=== Droz Setup ===
Speed Range 457-470

Consistent Range: 459-466

At the door press c-down. Scroll through the text and right before Mario starts moving, press c-right.

= Exceptions =
There is a chance during ABLJ's where Mario will randomly lose speed despite being below the Overspeed threshold. There is currently no known way to prevent this from happening. Though it should be quite rare so if you get this exception consistently, there might be something else wrong with your technique.
There is also a chance that Mario will gain enough speed from the SBLJ to skip the speed-building stage completely. You can recognize this by Mario instantly doing the two right twitches that signify exiting the speed-building stage, or by Mario doing one right twitch and a First Count twitch.

= TIPS =
At any point in the ABLJ's you can do late frame long jumps to better see the twitches that happen. You can also pause the game after any twitch to give yourself more time to react.

{{stub}}

'''DDD Skip''' is a trick that uses Mario's speed from BLJs to bypass the 1 Star requirement previously needed from [[1 Star]]. It does this by bypassing [[Dire Dire Docks]]. The glitch works since Mario's speed is above 386, the speed proportional to the width of the Dire Dire Docks portal. This allows Mario to be on one side of the painting on 1 frame and behind it on the next. This page largely serves as an attempt to translate the information on the Japanese [https://w.atwiki.jp/sm64_dddskip/ DDD Skip Wiki] into English in a concise manner.

= SBLJ =
Side Backwards Long Jump (SBLJ) is a [[BLJ]] where instead of using the stairs to build speed, Mario uses the gap in between 2 stairs to rapidly cancel long jumps and get the BLJ Speed building effect.
To start building speed, Mario must get some initial speed from the stairs that are across from the 30 Star door .
As of 11/08/2021, there are 2 main methods to somewhat consistently get enough speed to continue to the next stage.

== Hat Setup SBLJ ==

With regular Mario cam, hug the wall parallel to the stair and position Mario's left leg in the stair.
Next, C-Down and create an angle where the tip of Mario's hat is aligned with a line on the wall. Try not to have Mario's left leg leave the top stair
When you are ready to do the SBLJ, hold down on the analog stick, quickly long jump, and hold up.
Right before Mario hits the stair, hold up left on the analog stick and start pressing A (around 8-10/s). When Mario is exiting, after building enough speed, he should do an extra long jump on the pillar next to the stairs

== Slight Angle SBLJ ==

With regular Mario cam, hug the wall parallel to the stair and position Mario's left leg in the stair.
Next, C-Down and create a slight angle relative to the camera using the analog stick.
When you are ready to do the SBLJ, hold down on the analog stick, quickly long jump, and hold up. When Mario is about to hit the stairs and hold up left but slightly more up than left. At this point start mashing the A button (around 8-10/s). When Mario is exiting, after building enough speed, he should do an extra long jump on the pillar next to the stairs

== Clipping the Fence ==

When attempting the SBLJ there is a big chance to clip the fence next to the stair and lose all speed.
There is one main way to avoid this.
After Performing the SBLJ, right before Mario leaves the stairs (due to his speed), hold up on the analog stick. Instead of long jumping on the pillar, Mario will travel to the right of the pillar
Holding up on the analog stick is usually after 6-9 A presses.
While inconsistent, this is the only known way to avoid the fence.

= ABLJ =
Air Backwards Long Jump (ABLJ) is a type of BLJ in which Mario BLJ's in place while continuing to build up speed. This works since Mario's next intended position is unreachable. Mario builds up speed 1.5x to his current speed. Each frame Mario long jumps late by his speed is reduced by 1/50 his current speed.
This is the phase after Mario leaves the stair with more than 70 speed and reaches the position left of the pillar next to the star door.
The reason for this phase is to build up the speed (>418 for RTA) from >70 which is required to bypass the Dire Dire Docks Painting.

== Mario Twitches ==

During ABLJ Mario's movement on the left pillar is not random. Mario has 3 Possible directions to "twitch" in.
<ul>
<li> A Twitch to the left </li>
<li> A Twitch to the Right </li>
<li> A Twitch Staight back </li>
</ul>
Depending on what stage of ABLJ you are in, these twitches hold different meaning but their speed range, in which they occur, are consistent.

== Speed Building Stage ==
While there is a chance in which you can skip this stage from SBLJ, found in [[RTA_Guide/DDD_skip#Exceptions|Exceptions]], you will most likely not have enough speed to continue onto the Speed Control Stage.
In this phase, Mario will always twitch to the left. After he is finished twitching to the left (usually 2-4 times) he will twitch twice to the right. On the second twitch to the right, we have exited the speed-building stage.

== Speed Control Stage ==
At this stage, Mario's speed will need to be controlled to a specific range. A range in which DDD Skip will work (any Third count jump with less than 510 speed but more than 430 after the jump should work).
During this phase, we will try to avoid building > 510 speed. At this high of a speed, Mario's speed will reset to 0 and DDD Skip would need to be restarted.

=== First Count ===
This stage begins on the first jump after the two right twitches from the Speed Building Stage, this special BLJ is called the "First Count". Every jump after this first count will need to be calculated. The main purpose of the first count is to notify you of the incoming Second Count.

=== Second Count ===
On the Jump after the First Count, Also known as the "Second Count", Mario will twitch in one of 3 ways. No Twitch, Right Twitch, and Left Twitch. How "Violently" - The speed at which the twitch is completed - Mario twitches in each direction can tell you more information about his current speed range.
The jump after any of the four possible twitches is also known as the "Third Count" and should be the last ABLJ before "exiting" and going towards the star door.
Any reference to the word "adjustment" or "adjusting" refers to doing a late frame long jump or pulling down the analog stick in the opposite way of the BLJ, which is always down.

=== Types of Twitches ===

==== No Twitch ====

In this scenario, Mario can be seen moving directly back or not in any discernable direction.
The speed range in which this happens is below 275 speed.
There are 2 ways to adjust for this speed.
<ol>
<li>Don't Adjust at all and do a late frame Long jump</li>
<li>Add an extra long jump to the speed control stage by pulling down a medium length and long jumping again to essentially “reset” the speed control stage, getting a second count again, and hoping to get a twitch.</li>
</ol>
While the ladder of the two options is more consistent, most runners opt to use the first option as it is faster.

==== Violent Right Twitch ====

The speed range in which this happens is ~305
This is one of the hardest situations to consistently correct for.
In this situation, it looks like Mario Violently shakes to the right.
This means Mario has very high speed and if there's no adjustment you will Overspeed.
There is also a possibility in which Mario twitches right and then left. In this case, Mario's speed is on the lower bound of violent right twitch.
You’ll want to instantly pull down on the stick after recognizing this situation and possibly do a late-frame long jump to avoid Overspeed. Using a speed display for this scenario will help you get better at adjusting for this

==== Slow Right Twitch ====

The speed range in which this happens is 275-290.
To adjust for this speed you want to pull down for a medium amount of time . This speed reduction is closer to a No Twitch than a Violent Right Twitch

==== Left Twitch ====
The speed range in which this happens is 290-305 Speed.
This is the only speed range in which Mario has two different twitches.
There is also a possibility that Mario twitches Left and then Right. In this case, Mario's speed is on the lower bound of left twitch.
This range is the most consistent of the four possible twitches to adjust for due to its narrow speed range.
You will want to adjust a medium to large amount for this speed range. (This is closer to a Violent Right twitch than a No Twitch).

== Exit Phase ==
The most overlooked phase of all is the Exit Phase. This is after the Third Count and once you are confident enough with Mario's speed to set up at the Star Door.
You will want to continue holding up on the analog stick until right before you're about to hit the ground. The optimal Exit is one where you hit the ground and instantly go neutral for one frame and hold left on the next frame.
(Though it is not this strict). It is fine to hold neutral for a maximum of 5 frames after which, if you hold neutral for longer, you will lose all speed.
Conversely, if you do not hold neutral enough, Mario will still end up at the door, but at an incorrect door position for any of the setups (although DDD Skip would still be possible), Or Mario will not have enough speed to do any of the setups.
The correct door position is on this specific tile in front of the star door .

= DDD Skip =

DDD Skip now occurs when Mario is at the correct door position and has enough speed to do a setup (418-478).

== Mario's speed ==

Since the use of a speed display is not allowed in RTA runs, you will need to use visual cues to figure out Mario's speed. The best, and most reliable visual cue, is the shadow that Mario produces on the tile he is standing on.
based on how far left, or right, his shadow is on this tile, you can determine a speed range in which Mario is most likely to be in.
Below is a list of Mario Door speeds starting at 420 and increasing by 10 until 470.
<gallery mode="packed-hover">
File:DDDSkipDoor420.png|420 Speed
File:DDDSkipDoor430.png|430 Speed
File:DDDSkipDoor440.png|440 Speed
File:DDDSkipDoor450.png|450 Speed
File:DDDSkipDoor460.png|460 Speed
File:DDDSkipDoor470.png|470 Speed
</gallery>

== Setups ==
For any of the setups, every frame that the stick is held in one direction, mario loses 1.1 speed per frame. But every frame that the stick is held neutral for, mario loses 1.0 speed per frame.
It takes 10 frames from the star door to reach the DDD painting (on average).
{{#ev:youtube|vvu40CTOLos}}

=== C-Down C-Right ===
Speed Range: 418-427

Consistent Range: 418-426

At the door enter Mario cam then c-down (wait for the camera to stop moving), then c-right. This setup allows you to hold straight down.
=== Straight Down ===
Speed Range: 425-430

Consistent Range: N/A

At the door hold straight down.
=== 8 Frame ===
Speed Range 430-440

Consistent Range: 430-435

At the door hold down right, scroll through the text, and pause on the 8th frame of Mario's movement which is usually right behind the last pillar before the DDD Painting. After hold down and unpause.

=== 3 Frame ===
Speed Range 430-450

Consistent Range: 436-450

At the door hold down right, scroll through the text, and pause on the 3rd frame of Mario's movement which is usually right behind the first pillar before the hallway. After hold down and unpause.

=== Xiah Setup ===
Speed Range 455-464

Consistent Range: 456-462

At the door hold a slight down right angle (bias towards the down direction). Scroll through the text, and on the first frame of Mario's movement, pause and go neutral on the stick. This setup allows you to unpause, while holding neutral, and get the skip. It was also recently discovered that this setup also works for the 405-407 speed range on a different tile.

=== Droz Setup ===
Speed Range 457-470

Consistent Range: 459-466

At the door press c-down. Scroll through the text and right before Mario starts moving, press c-right.

= Exceptions =
There is a chance during ABLJ's where Mario will randomly lose speed despite being below the Overspeed threshold. There is currently no known way to prevent this from happening. Though it should be quite rare so if you get this exception consistently, there might be something else wrong with your technique.
There is also a chance that Mario will gain enough speed from the SBLJ to skip the speed-building stage completely. You can recognize this by Mario instantly doing the two right twitches that signify exiting the speed-building stage, or by Mario doing one right twitch and a First Count twitch.

= TIPS =
At any point in the ABLJ's you can do late frame long jumps to better see the twitches that happen. You can also pause the game after any twitch to give yourself more time to react.

= Resources/Videos =

= SBLJ Pause Buffer =

There is currently research going on to find out if pause buffering for an SBLJ is consistent in any way. So far there is little information on what and how this method works.

Alaris: typos

'''0 Star''' and '''1 Star''' are currently the fastest RTA-viable routes for beating the game. Both categories use a series of [[BLJ|BLJs]] to access the Bowser stages early and finish the game with a minimal number of stars. Beating the game with 0 stars requires a precise, speed-dependent SBLJ setup to skip DDD, so the 1 star route is recommended for beginners. However, if you are just starting with SM64 it is recommended to learn [[RTA Guide/16 Star|16 Star]] before attempting these categories.

== Rules ==
There are no restrictions. All forms of BLJ are allowed. Timing starts from power on and ends when the big star is collected at the end of the game.

RTA Guide/Hot-Foot-It into the Volcano

2022-02-07T18:06:06Z

Alaris: /* Lava Boost */ - rearranged page, reduced the number of embeds

}}
'''Hot-Foot-It into the Volcano''' is the fifth mission of [[RTA Guide/Lethal Lava Land|Lethal Lava Land]].
=Lava Boost=

Rather than laying out strats for the entire star, options are split up among the 3 sections below for players to mix and match as they see fit. See the table at the bottom of the page for an overview of each strat.

==Entering the Volcano ==
* Beginner Movement - Mario cam on entry and delay the C-Down to make sure your camera is directly behind you. Switch to lakitu cam after the 2nd long jump to set up the cam for the 3rd. This movement is good for when you're starting out, but most players move to either of the intermediate options fairly early.
* Intermediate Movement - These options are for intermediate players and above. Which you choose is a matter of preference. Both begin with a C-Left followed by Mario Cam and C-Down. Hold A before after the camera inputs to allow you to buffer a kick once you have control of Mario. For the Mario Cam option, stay in Mario cam the whole time while pressing C-Right to adjust the camera. For the Lakitu Cam version, switch to Lakitu Cam during the first long jump, then input one C-Right when you land.

</li>
</ul>

== Lava Boost ==
As you can see, there are many options for the lava boost portion of the star. The easiest and safest is the Triple Jump Boost, however it's quite a bit slower than all other options. The remaining options are all fairly similar, with timesave scaling well with difficulty. For most players, the trade off between difficulty and time save with strat selection is a matter of preference.

== Ending Movement ==
Similarly to the lava boost section, there are many different ending movements you can perform for this star, with varying levels of difficulty and timesave. Depending on the type of boost you choose, certain ending movements may become easier or harder. The video below goes over each of the endings, how much time they save and roughly how difficulty they are. Hover over the timestamped sections in the video to see roughly how much each strat saves.

RTA Guide/BoB 100 Coins

}}
'''BoB 100 Coins''' is the 100 coin star in [[RTA Guide/Bob-omb Battlefield|Bob-omb Battlefield]], in speedruns it is paired with [[RTA Guide/Find the 8 Red Coins|Find the 8 Red Coins]]. The 3rd star (or later) should be selected when completing the 100 coin star, as the Koopa (with a blue coin) will not spawn otherwise. You also need to have already opened the cannon.

= Coin Count Info =

You will adjust how you do the ending of the star based on how many coins you have leaving the flight section:

* After leaving the sky you should have a minimum of 58 coins (you will need to collect all 3 Goomba coins and all 3 coins from the small box).
* Any amount from 59-63 you will need to collect some combination of goomba and box coins to make up the deficit.
* With 64 coins leaving the sky you can skip all Goombas and the box, or use these as backups for bad pole RNG.
* If you leave with 66 coins then you can get the box coins instead of running around a 4th pole.
* 67/68 coins means you could get a Goomba coin or two to skip a pole.
* If you manage to get 69 coins out the sky then you can skip everything and only do 3 poles.

RTA Guide/16 Star

2021-11-22T00:12:45Z

Alaris: /* Standard Route (No LBLJ) */ - linked to castle movement

The goal of the '''16 Star''' category is to beat the game as quickly as possible using MIPS clipping to skip the 30 star door. It is a popular category for beginners since it is short and the basic route/strats can be learned in a few hours even with no casual knowledge of the game.

== Category Rules ==

* [[SBLJ]] is banned
*Any method to skip the 30 star door other than [[RTA Guide/MIPS Clip|MIPS clipping]] is banned

== Beginner Guide ==

{{#ev:youtube|fajqLhUVL_s}}

== Suggested Routes==

It is important to note that although tricks are featured more prominently in this category than in 70 star, better movement and consistency is still what makes the biggest difference. As a beginner, it is recommended to start with a route that does not do LBLJ and improve on your fundamentals before switching to a less consistent, more reset-heavy LBLJ route.

* '''Beginner''' - [[#Beginner Route (No_Dark_World_Reds)| No LBLJ Route without DW Reds]]
** Recommended for beginners with minimal experience
** Same as intermediate except replaces Dark World Reds with Swimming Beast in the Cavern.
** [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Dark World#No Reds| Dark World (No Reds)]]
** [[RTA Guide/Swimming Beast in the Cavern|Swimming Beast in the Cavern]]
* '''Intermediate''' - [[#Standard Route (No LBLJ)| No LBLJ Route ]]
** Recommended for newer players around the sub 20 level
* '''Advanced ''' - [[#Standard Route (LBLJ)| LBLJ Route]]
** Recommended for advanced runners going for low 16/sub 16.

=== Beginner Route (No Dark World Reds) ===

This route is mostly the same as the standard route, but with the omission of [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Dark World#Red Coin Star |Bowser in the Dark World Red Coins]]. If you plan on taking this game seriously, it is recommended to learn DW Reds sooner than later as it helps a lot with fundamentals. The differences with the standard route are listed below.

* Bowser in the Dark World
** No Red Coins
* Hazy Maze Cave
** [[RTA Guide/A-Maze-ing Emergency Exit|A-maze-ing Emergency Exit]]
** HMC Toad (spawns at 12 stars, do not get this last or MIPS will not spawn)
** [[RTA Guide/Swimming Beast in the Cavern|Swimming Beast/Dorrie]]
** [[RTA Guide/Watch for Rolling Rocks|Rolling Rocks]]

=== Advanced No LBLJ Route Variations ===

There are several route variations for the No LBLJ route which are faster but generally much harder. In almost every instance, these variations are only faster if you do the most optimal strats for each star, hence they are recommended only for people running the No LBLJ category extension for top times (i.e. sub 16 minutes). If you are simply looking to optimize your 16 star route for the main leaderboards, it is recommended to switch to an LBLJ route.

==== WF 100c (CCM Skip) ====

If you can do the [[RTA_Guide/Red_Coins_on_the_Floating_Isle#Expert|Expert WF 100c]] cycle, it is technically faster than opening CCM to collect Wall Kicks Will Work and Li'l Penguin Lost.

==== Replacing Stars ====

Ignoring lobby (where you are bound by the 8 star door requirement), the slowest stars in the standard No LBLJ route are:

* In the Talons of the Big Bird (16-17s)
* Watch for Rolling Rocks (15-16s)

You can save a few seconds by replacing one or more of these stars with one of the following stars:

* [[RTA Guide/Red-Hot Log Rolling#No Wing Cap |Log Star / Sidehop]] (12-13s)
* [[RTA_Guide/Inside_the_Ancient_Pyramid#Tutorial | Tama Pless]] (~13s)

This route is mostly the same as the standard route, but with the omission of [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Dark World#Red Coin Star |Bowser in the Dark World Red Coins]]. If you plan on taking this game seriously, it is recommended to learn DW Reds sooner than later as it helps a lot with fundamentals. The differences with the standard route are listed below.

* Bowser in the Dark World
** No Red Coins
* Hazy Maze Cave
** [[RTA Guide/A-Maze-ing Emergency Exit|A-maze-ing Emergency Exit]]
** HMC Toad (spawns at 12 stars, do not get this last or MIPS will not spawn)
** [[RTA Guide/Swimming Beast in the Cavern|Swimming Beast/Dorrie]]
** [[RTA Guide/Watch for Rolling Rocks|Rolling Rocks]]

=== Advanced No LBLJ Route Variations ===

There are several route variations for the No LBLJ route which are faster but generally much harder. In almost every instance, these variations are only faster if you do the most optimal strats for each star, hence they are recommended only for people running the No LBLJ category extension for top times (i.e. sub 16 minutes). If you are simply looking to optimize your 16 star route for the main leaderboards, it is recommended to switch to an LBLJ route.

==== WF 100c (CCM Skip) ====

If you can do the [[RTA_Guide/Red_Coins_on_the_Floating_Isle#Expert|Expert WF 100c]] cycle, it is technically faster than opening CCM to collect Wall Kicks Will Work and Li'l Penguin Lost.

==== Replacing Stars ====

Ignoring lobby (where you are bound by the 8 star door requirement), the slowest stars in the standard No LBLJ route are:

* In the Talons of the Big Bird (16-17s)
* Watch for Rolling Rocks (15-16s)

You can save a few seconds by replacing one or more of these stars with one of the following stars:

* [[RTA Guide/Red-Hot Log Rolling#No Wing Cap |Log Star / Sidehop]] (12-13s)
* [[RTA_Guide/Inside_the_Ancient_Pyramid#Tutorial | Tama Pless]] (~13s)

RTA Guide/16 Star

2021-11-16T23:24:02Z

Alaris: /* Standard Route (No LBLJ) */ - add links to bowser fights

The goal of the '''16 Star''' category is to beat the game as quickly as possible using MIPS clipping to skip the 30 star door. It is a popular category for beginners since it is short and the basic route/strats can be learned in a few hours even with no casual knowledge of the game.

== Category Rules ==

* [[SBLJ]] is banned
*Any method to skip the 30 star door other than [[RTA Guide/MIPS Clip|MIPS clipping]] is banned

== Beginner Guide ==

{{#ev:youtube|fajqLhUVL_s}}

== Suggested Routes==

It is important to note that although tricks are featured more prominently in this category than in 70 star, better movement and consistency is still what makes the biggest difference. As a beginner, it is recommended to start with a route that does not do LBLJ and improve on your fundamentals before switching to a less consistent, more reset-heavy LBLJ route.

* '''Beginner''' - [[#Beginner Route (No_Dark_World_Reds)| No LBLJ Route without DW Reds]]
** Recommended for beginners with minimal experience
** Same as intermediate except replaces Dark World Reds with Swimming Beast in the Cavern.
** [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Dark World#No Reds| Dark World (No Reds)]]
** [[RTA Guide/Swimming Beast in the Cavern|Swimming Beast in the Cavern]]
* '''Intermediate''' - [[#Standard Route (No LBLJ)| No LBLJ Route ]]
** Recommended for newer players around the sub 20 level
* '''Advanced ''' - [[#Standard Route (LBLJ)| LBLJ Route]]
** Recommended for advanced runners going for low 16/sub 16.

* Full Setup (easiest): use normalized movement to get a consistent ledgegrab spot
* Texture Setup: use a visual cue to get to the ledgegrab spot.
* Salt Cless: uses a camera setup to fall off the plank in a consistent spot

== Full Setup Tutorial ==

[[File:Cannonless backup movement.gif|frame|right|Back up failed cannonless with [[RTA Guide/Shoot into the Wild Blue|wild blue]]. If you need to reattempt it, you can do this backup movement to the plank, you can groundpound if you don't get enough height initially]]

{{#ev:youtube|1Lf7sXbBUtY}}

== Texture Setup ==

This strat skips the ledgegrab, backflip and punch of the full setup. The visual cue for the ledgegrab is on the front face of the plank. Mario's left hand lines up with a line in the wood texture. Below is a reference an easily-identifiable part of the texture that can be used for lining this up. However, it's recommended that you perform the full setup on your own, and find a reference that works well for your display setup.

=== Over the Hill ===

* Easiest: Adjust angle while sliding down the hill after getting the hands free glitch, double jump on flat ground and groundpound over the hill
* Medium: Adjust angle and single jump while still sliding on the hill
* Hardest: Get angle and hands free glitch without jumping back over the hill (Tamapless)

* If you accidentally get medium bomb instead of big bomb, it is still possible to do pillarless.
* If you fail quickly enough you can do Talons as a backup (see thumbnail to the right)
* You can do a triple jump to make it easier to get over the hill with medium bomb speed.

'''Inside the Ancient Pyramid''' is the third mission of [[RTA Guide/Shifting Sand Land|Shifting Sand Land]].

== Beginner ==
[[File:Pillar_Active_Area.png|thumb|In order for the game to register you have stepped on the pillar, Mario has to touch this region in the very center of the pillar.]]

== Pillarless ==

[[File:Pless jumpable regions.png|thumb|right|The blue regions depict where you can jump for pless. The red is what you want to avoid.]]
[[File:Pless dj.png|thumb|right|The red area is where you want to input the double jump.]]

=== Over the Hill ===

* Easiest: Adjust angle while sliding down the hill after getting the hands free glitch, double jump on flat ground and groundpound over the hill
* Medium: Adjust angle and single jump while still sliding on the hill
* Hardest: Get angle and hands free glitch without jumping back over the hill (Tamapless)

== Backups ==
=== Medium Bomb backup ===
If you accidentally get medium bomb instead of big bomb, it is still possible to perform the trick.

==== Beginner ====
If you're having trouble getting over the first hill with the medium bomb, you can do a triple jump to make it easier.

=== Missed Bomb Grab backup ===
If you lose the bomb right away, [[RTA Guide/In the Talons of the Big Bird|In the Talons of the Big Bird]] is the fastest backup.
