So the way to get 70 Turns. (Also, Music List Below)<br>1. By removing "Cutscene battles" you could immediately remove 15 turns with the Bowser 1, Jr Troopa, and Twink fights.<br>2. by making first strikes not count towards the first turn, you are able to grind experience on enemies that you can one shot. With these extra levels, you would be able to use the first attack badge to kill the 4 monty moles and the 2 shy guys without ever entering battle with them.<br>3. If you use merlee buffs, that gives back about 9 turns on its own.<br>4. Jr troopa mage could've just been killed instead of out of sighting<br>5. Egg bombs would allow a faster kill on general guy<br>6. Jr troopa 3 could actually be killed in 2 if I used close call.<br><br>7. And technically it could get even lower if you don't count the 4 banzai bill blaster fights at the end<br><br>This actually probably brings it closer to 63 if I do all these changes of rules and such!<br><br>Shoutout godzillahomer for a couple of these fixes<br><br>Music Used <br> <br>Aquarium Park <br>Top Shelf Giggle <br>Don Resetti <br>Sweet Mountain <br>3 P.M. - Animal Crossing City Folk <br>A Forest So Sacred <br>Spectacular Finale <br>Cascaraffa <br>Battle- Chapter 1 - PM TTYD <br>Face 2 Face<br>Ball Rolling 1<br>File Select - Shantae and the Pirate's Curse<br>Petal Meadows - TTYD Remake<br>DSI Shop Theme<br>Gooper Blooper Battle Boogie<br>Goomba Village<br>Sky Deck a Go Go<br>Sweet Dreams - Date Everything<br>Temple of Time - Maplestory<br>Neon Colosseum - Pokemon Battle Revolution<br>Strange Company - Super Paper Mario<br>Pause Menu - Mario Strikers Charged<br>Believe in Myself Instrumental - Sonic Adventure 2<br>The Great Boggly Tree - SilvaGunner<br>Able Sisters Sabel Mable<br>Asteroid Coaster Act 1<br>Track 02 Ballade for Maria<br>Arid Sands Day<br>Autumn Mountain - PM TOK<br>Attic - Animal Crossing City Folk<br>Aquarium Park Act 1<br>The City Day - Animal Crossing City Folk<br>Wasted Soul of Dire Destiny - Date Everything<br>Wigglytuff's Guild Remastered<br>Asteroid Coaster Act 2<br>Big Fishes at Emerald Coast<br>Dive Into the Mellow Aquatic Mine<br>Hope Hospital Routine Map Screen 1 - Under the Knife<br>Magnus Von Grapple 2.0 - TTYD Remake<br>Flow On - Date Everything<br>Midnight Blue<br>Lets Dance Boys - Bayonetta<br>Battle Prince Mush - TTYD Remake<br>Because I'm Angry - PM SS<br>Cheap Shop - Scott Pilgrim vs The World<br>Professor Frankly<br>And Then...

I do remember there's a mistake with the calculator where you can kill one of the other shy guys and the calculator is left in the center, so you can skip a turn by only killing for cake mix, leaving the room, and re-entering

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VViJ_a7K-U&t=620">10:20</a> In case you are wondering, yes 11. But two of them contain bowsers, so 9 of them contain the coins.<br>Hence 9 block game :3
