This is a listing of all my fastest known times for every star. I start timing as soon as the level starts (when the music of the level starts and at the beginning of the white screen fade-in), and stop timing as soon as I touch the star. Basically every single time can be improved on in some small way (or large way, once new strategies are found), but this chart should give a pretty good idea of the fastest possible stars. Right now there are some stars I haven't tried very many times, and others I've spent time perfecting (e.g. Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow) but I'll gradually work on making all the times faster. If you have a faster time or a unique strategy that can improve on one of my times, I'd be interested in hearing it. Note that I'm timing these on a completed game file, which has all the cannons and caps unlocked, and the sub is gone in Dire, Dire Docks (this is a disadvantage for Star 1).

If you would like to comment on any of these stars, you can e-mail me, or post a message on the GameFAQs SM64 board. Feel free to request a video of any time you want to see as well. I'll make sure to (eventually) upload a video. Thanks to everyone who have pointed out some of my slower times.
