I just found this post, I completely forgot about it. I did some runs and the only way I could beat your time was with using Luigi, otherwise I couldn't come close. How'd you do it?
Actually that's 42 seconds, the clock is weird in SMM2. When it hits 0, you have to wait a second to die. Great job! What's the name of the level? I think I'm playing the wrong one lol
"ON/OFF Switch Research Expedition"
Here's a video of my playing it:
this would be a perfect run, except I was supposed to hit the shell left instead of right. I don't think it's possible to beat it at time = 258, even with pixel-perfect precision on everything... I've tried finding faster ways of doing a few things, but there doesn't seem to be a faster route than what I do.
@ProStar Today is a good day. I didn't get the 258... but I got a 259.
Turns out that the chain part of the chain chomp early on doesn't hurt Mario. So, if you time it just right, you can get in front of the chain chomp and skip having to wait for it!
Now I just have to do it again and take a picture this time...
Ok, that took like 20 minutes to get a run The 255 is my new best. I think I could definitely improve it by a second or so, I made a couple mistakes, namely missing the jump directly onto the ledge over the piranha plants. What do you think?
Oh cool you also like Portal I've been getting into speedrunning it but I cannot for the life of me get the vault save and demo recorder plugin to work. Ik there optional, but I'm impatient. Well, now I have ranted on some profile post because I can't get some files working. What has my life become...
