70-STAR SPEED RUN
Updated page: www.sm64.com/70stars/
On January 10, 2005 I finally attempted a 70-star speed run of SM64. (It was on my to-do list for almost two years.) Here is a list of the stars I chose (highlighted in green). Actually, I made a very stupid mistake and forgot to do "Blast to the Stone Pillar" in Jolly Roger Bay (even though I opened the cannon), and only realised I was missing a star when I got to Rainbow Ride. Since I didn't even know which one I missed, I had to quickly sub in "Cruiser crossing the Rainbow" in its place. Under the optimal route, this star is fairly fast, and although I used most of the shortcuts I know, I didn't pull them off perfectly. I'm guessing this stupid mistake cost me about a minute in total.
Another notable mistake: I threw Bowser perfectly every time until the very final shot, which was just a bit short. Then I completely missed another two times after this. (D'oh... Lost about a minute.) The final time from the start of the file to the cake at the end of the credits was 1 hour, 20 minutes, 24 seconds. Excluding the opening/credits cuts off about 6 minutes.
UPDATE: Some people were wondering about the glitch that I used to cross the castle bridge without waiting for Lakitu's speech. This is a movie of the trick. Dom Dunc discovered that you could cross the bridge by back-flipping across the very edge, and instead I found out that it works with a long jump as well. Unfortunately it isn't very easy to do, but it only saves a couple seconds anyway.
