In this room we have to wait for the donut block to fall down. We position ourselves on the third skull of the skeleton roller coaster as this loads the spring on the top here in a way which allows mario to grab it fast. We need to get this spring so that we are able to cheese the boss-fight later https://thecartepostale.com/video-games-that-predicted-the-future-2018/.
Here we only have to run and jump for a little bit until we reach this area. We fall down here on purpose as this path is a little bit faster than the one at the top. Here we try to jump off from the skeleton roller coaster at the right moment to save a few precious frames and then we reach the boss, and finally find out why we got the spring earlier in the stage. Once we leave the boss fight we only need to go through another pipe and we’re done! Beating this boss fast is really difficult and it took me a lot of tries to get such a good run, but was it finally fast enough to beat one of your times? It wasn’t, again. Actually it’s a really bad time as I’m more than three seconds away from the world record. You wonderful people are so incredibly fast! Anyways congratulations to sonictails again, for getting another entry on the PFTCL. So once again I tried to find out where I lost more than three seconds during this run, and once again it’s a lot of little things which add up over time. Here I could have jumped a little bit higher to carry the boost for a few more frames, which probably saves about a quarter of a second. Here I could have jumped off from the skeleton platform a little bit earlier to save a few frames and here I hit this small bridge which which costs a little bit of time as well. This part is pretty good but here I loose a few frames again by jumping not high enough from the conveyor belt and here I lost a little bit of time by not starting to run to the right soon enough before jumping. The biggest time loss of this run is probably here as I turn around for a moment in order to throw the spring. Throwing the spring while running is probably about a second faster. And this was the moment when I realized that there was only one stage left for me to get a world record. This left me worried, I really wanted to get a record this time. So I started to run our last level and my first run took me two and a half minutes, and then I saw the record on this stage. What was going on? There had to be a shortcut. After doing a little bit of detective work I found a shortcut right after the first checkpoint which skips the the hole sub-world and the bowser jr boss fight. The problem was that I needed to get a yoshi in order to make it to this door. No matter how hard I tried I was still more than 25 seconds away of the world record even with this shortcut. But then I realized that I don’t need yoshi to make this jump, as it is possible to reach the door with a simple, though incredibly precise wall jump. I was only 15 seconds away anymore. Than I realized that it’s possible to skip the hole checkpoint area by jumping through these sawblades off from the back of yoshi. Only ten seconds away. Then I found out that there is a star hidden in this stage. A star makes mario run faster and this jump off from yoshi's back, way easier. Only five seconds left. And then I finally found out how the world record holder did it. It’s actually possible to get through these sawblades while mario has a star, as spinning in the air while having a star gives mario a ton of additional horizontal movement. I was finally able to run against the world record. At first we need to get the star. We wall jump off from this question block as it is faster than jumping on it and wait for the star to reach an area where mario can catch it. Here we say hi to the platform which brings us to the next area, and then we say goodbye to the platform which brings us to the next area, we do the skip which took me so long to find and we are actually done and we are actually done with the stage. So was it this run? Was this run finally the first time I was able to beat one of your times? Argh… not again? Congratulations to yt_bluex2 for getting the world record. You’re time is really really good. And congratulations to all people who managed to beat me so far. These are the levels for the next speedrun-challenge, I hope you have fun racing them and I can’t wait to loose against your amazing times once more. These levels are all traditional cave stages, though one of them is a little bit less of an traditional cave stage, but an amazing level for speedrunning anyways. The challenge after the next one will be about airship stages. So if you have any cool airship level which you’d like to see in the next challenge leave me an ID in the comments! I hope you enjoyed this little video and that you have a wonderful day. Goodbye!
