  I love how most gaming communities with challenge runs always devolve into “I love this game! How do I play it the least?”

  Seeing an attack in TTYD do 40 damage is horrifying, no man should have this power

  When that Yoshi grows up they're gonna shorten their name to Min T., and lie to everyone about it being a pun on "Minty" to spare themselves some of the embarassment.

  Respect when It comes to the rules, no need to make It "as pure as possible" if It only means wasting time and nothing else

  Shadow Queen phase 1 can be cut down a turn using Bomb Squad. You only need to hit the Shadow Queen on three separate turns, and internally the bombs go off between two regular attacks. Thank speedrunners for that one.

  not gonna lie the fact that mario can just deal 30+ damage in one bop and all of the bosses just being like "I'm really powerful watch out!!" when mario can tap them to death is really funny to me idk why

  Good stuff. Note: For the cannons, you can squeeze past them in paper mode going through the middle of them taking down a few turns of the run.

  Since you asked about glitches, the main glitch you could do to save turns is the early ultra hammer glitch, which if you add onto a ground pound glitch, you can literally skip all of Chapter 3 and skip straight to Grubba. From there you're without Yoshi, so you need to do 2 extra turns doing a Koops first strike glitch to get over the gap to Twilight Town's pipe without Yoshi. From there, beating Chapter 4 gives you a Yoshi partner that you've never had lol.

  I'm so happy we're in an age where challenge runs like these are booming. Watching people torture themselves with overcomplicated rulesets just hits different. Keep up the good work boss.

  I'm almost certain that the spiky crown you're thinking of is Queen Bean's in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. That's the only similar thing I can recall.

  If anyone is interested, the mishap in chapter 3 with the extra fight causes a difference of 3 star points gained over defeating Bowser. (I went to check because I was curious)
