This hack got updated like 4 times within the first hour, which should say everything. Since I beat this before the final update came out the final red was a lot harder, since the poles didn't work. Also the star ID for reds was messed up as well.
The last star was really annoying. The pause buffering was very consistant in practice, but I somehow choked the final line fucking 4 times.

About 1.5h (almost 3h if you include learning + practice) for like 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of reds. People are insane....

Not good, I tried to improve this for hours without success and at some point I just couldn't take it anymore. Mabye one day I will try again, but I doubt it. I practiced and tried to learn the blj for like 10 hours, but I still just can't get it in runs.
If the blj was the end of the run I might've kept going, but I am too scared of choking the throws on a good run.

Another decently challenging level. I got so scared on reds, but luckily I never died past the second coin.

Would actually be quite challenging without the cheese. Still choked the last wallkick, which sure was fun.

Star 171 was very weird. I downloaded 4 different versions and followed kingtoads instructions. I should remove the 5th OW star and then go to B3 from B1 to get the mips star again, but it never worked. Then he told me to do something different and it finally worked. Still had to record it, so in total I wasted over 2h with that star.
The last star was a pain to figure out and I also had a bunch of dumb chokes. If you want to see how to do the star properly, here is jarps vid, he also found the strat: https://youtu.be/ywla74WLq6E

0:00 VC Entry
2:41 VC Switch + Star next to Switch
6:54 Red Coins
18:38 Top
25:09 Blue Switch
The VC Switch felt really hard already, but that was just the spawn for the next star and reds. However I got pretty lucky with those stars. I still choked close to the ending of the top star 3 times, but it could've went so much worse. I almost died to the very last jump, but somehow I saved it with a second frame wallkick.
No idea how, but I pretty much first tried reds (we won't count the attempt where I just jumped off at the beginning). Considering I already was kinda nervous at the first red, makes it even more insane. Again I got really lucky at the end. The chuckya right before the 8th red almost grabbed me and I couldn't have survived that.
The last star was rather easy, just died a bunch of times at the beginning.

The only other remaining level that I was interested it. I found a cheese with the shell , which made the stage quite a bit easier. The last star looked absolutly impossible in the theory tas, but I guess there was an update, which added a shell, so the star became a lot more viable.

This star hardly seemed possible at all, since normally you have to do those thins like 3-4 min into the attempt and the collision of the second half is so insanely horrible to the point doing them with states is a challenge on its own.
Luckily I found that massive skip, which lets you do thins early and you can skip the worst part of thins entirely. The wallkick maze on top was still kinda hard, since it also has awful collision, but you can survive if you fall down, at least until you die from fall damage.
