0:00 Big Brain Wallkicks 1:11 Speed Sliding in the Cavern 2:24 Obligatory QSLG Star 4:23 Trial of the Octahedra Challenge 1: That hole part was pretty hard, but after a while I got better at it. Still I choked the ending quite a bunch. Challenge 3: (skipping Challenge 2 for now) I really disliked the first jump. I absolutely couldn't figure it out, no matter what I did it felt like rng. Sometimes you would just take fall damage, sometimes you just walk off, sometimes you get downwarped, sometimes you don't have enough speed. At first I still enjoyed the star, but then I only got stuck at the first jump, which was really annoying. Towards the end I got more attempts again, so I had more fun again, but still choking it a lot was a pain. Challenge 4: Mostly a pretty enjoyable star, but getting out of that hole at 4:38 was awful and I just couldn't find an even half-consistent strat. So every time I got that jump I got really nervous and I died a few times to the like last 3 jumps. Challenge 2: For some reason this star felt A LOT harder than the rest, that's why I wanted to put it at the end. While the other stars were pretty challenging already, this seemed just impossible to me. I couldn't get any attempts out of spawn, since the slopes are really brutal and getting the perfect angle on the last slope is nearly impossible. Even after getting out of spawn you need to get a straght angle right away and get that arch first try. After spawning the star you have to do some more absurd jumps. Getting on that pillar is already not easy, especially since an invis can kill you. The second to last jump is even worse, since grabbing that ledge is really difficult, but the by far hardest is the last jump. When I went for glory hole I did a chain lj and still died quite a lot there, but now you don't have the time to do that, so you have to go with a normal lj. I took me ages to get it even once. I not only completly fluke that ending, I feel like I did everything wrong on the last jump. Didn't get enough speed, didn't reset the camera and don't think I even got a second frame, so I have absolutely no clue how that could ledgegrab, but I am not complaining. Also I only had 12 frames left on that attempt. Imagine getting that absurd jump and then running out of time... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-LCLn10t50

I was very sure shin3 didn't test the last jump, since I couldn't even get close, but she told me it's possible, so I gave it another try. After trying for quite a long time I finally got it once with states. I still wanted to attempt the star savestateless, since I love short precision stars. Somehow I only died twice to that jump, even tho I expected to choke at least 20 times there, because of how incredibly precise it is. It could very well be the second hardest section I've done in sm64, right after crudely eyeball. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TVoHCCtN7k
