Mario's Trip in China: Course 10 - 64 Coins [savestateless]
The first 30 min of attempts I couldn't get a single attempt past precise wallkicks, but attempts got better, Still choked 5 times past those to some really stupid stuff. Reds here would be the next most viable star remaining, but one red makes that star just absurdly awful, so not sure if I want to go for them. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfF8h18w1h4
There was an update, which added some more coins, so this star became actually viable. Still was kinda hard having to climb this level twice, while also getting all those coins. The part at 3:58 is pretty scary, since you clip over if you aren't on the very right and then you have to get into the alcove again, which just never works, since the shell is very likely to break.

Since dive wallkicks got added I came back to this hack. Doing those precise wallkicks are obviously way more viable now, but were still very difficult.

Think we can already see the concept of this hack. 5 rather easy stars and then secrets and reds being awful. It also uses the SNR style once again, so secrets and reds next to normal stars.
I got so unlucky on secrets. It' an insanely unfun star, since it starts with slope jumping for a minute and there are more sections like that later on. I choked the end a bunch and all in ways that never happened in practice.
But just like in c1 I got pretty lucky on reds again. I still choked twice past the climb to the top, but it could've went soo much worse. Would say hardest star so far, but not like that says much considering this is the second level I played.

This was the worst experience I ever had to go through. I could've completly fluked it like I did in practice, but nope of course I had to get collisioned at the very end and from there on this grind was absolute hell. Multiple people who didn't even have 120 stars by the time I got my 8/8 choke finished before me, cause of how unlucky I got. I was practicing a shitton, but the way I lost my best 5 attempts all never happened in practice a single time.
I took an entire week and every day it got worse and worse. Not necessarly my attempts, but the pressure. I was as nervous at 1/8 than I was with 8/8 the first time. I was just shaking all the time. I couldn't take it anymore.
I don't necessarly want to talk about what I had to go through, since it probably gets a bit too dark, but as I said this was one of my worst experiences of all time.
I am so happy I am finally free from this game and this was the loudest I ever popped off. It was rather early in the morning, so probably woke up some neighbours, especially since the door was open. I don't regret anything.

You are supposed to punch a spiny for about 22h to the end to use the invisible frames to go through the eyeballs, but fan found a strat to make the star actually viable on this version. The problem was you still had to do thins 3 times, so the star was very hard for me, since I am horrible at thins.
At first I had to do multiple savestates in the middle of thins, because I couldn't get them at all. After that it still took me pretty long to get 1 set of thins once savestateless. It's kinda annoying wasting like 2 minutes before getting to the hard section. And since I just can't get any consistency with thins this star is actually quite an accomplishment for me.

Even tho the stars itself aren't that crazy, the spawn is absolutly awful. Everytime you think you figured it out or at least found a decent strat you are stuck there for 10 minutes again. And doing the entire crudelo climb + a scary ending after finally getting an attempt is not easy.

Amsixx asked me to go live, so I decided to do this even without being prepared very well. This run isn't that great, but grinding this category isn't the most fun thing, so whatever.
