The description contains a lot of useful information regarding questions you may have so be sure to read it all! The biggest differences between this video and a future version using updated strats is of course the definition of the A button challenge including optimising A hold frames before time and the potential for 5 more A presses being saved from TTC, BitFS, and LLL. These changes would switch up the route completely and so the order of courses and stars you see in this video would be suboptimal. That being said, what Wade said about time spent on this is true. He’s been working on this project for a while (hence why he used a route from March that didn’t include A hold optimisation, had 19xA instead of 14xA, and made several bad decisions that you can probably spot if you watch the whole thing), so even though you may not think this video should exist, it’s a very big undertaking and he’s done an extremely good job getting all these clips together and ensuring continuity accuracy where possible.

When they said "It's about the journey not the destination" they were talking about The Secret Aquarium

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhWJ4eBoPHg&t=517">8:37</a> Mario screams, as he realizes he somehow manifested an unimaginable amount of kinetic energy while shadowboxing for 40 minutes straight. His physical body is only somewhat harmed, but his psyche is irreparably damaged from whatever force blasted him.

For anyone wondering:<br><br>Entering the secret Aquarium (at least by our current knowledge) can't be entered without pressing the A press, while having the Slide Room unlocked, so the TAS must start with it

The run starting out with the PU-less SA entrance is very fitting. Sets the tone for the craziest speedrun category in gaming history quite well

Secret of the aquarium being first will always be funny to me. No easy 0xA stars to ease into the run. Starts with an almost hour long star strat that involves 3 levels and quite advanced techniques lmao

I’m kinda mad the timestamps didn’t become chapters, but oh well, I’m done worrying about this project
