Felt so unsatisfying quitting in this room, so I decided to come back and at least get the normal ending. Doubt I will do more of this game tho.

Wasn't as bad as it first seemed, but the 4th red made this star so much more difficult. I am glad I fluked it after dying once with 4/9 to fucked corner collision. I got the star a few times from 4/9, but expected to take a lot longer for this.
I am not sure if I will get any other stars in this hack, since nothing really seems viable for me. The c15 star is likely the next easiest, but no thanks.

Absolute no way this happened.
I tried to practice this star a few times, but always gave up pretty quickly, since I couldn't do stuff like halfpipe at all, even with states. But since this star is really short I wanted to get it at some point, so I came back once again. I figured out halfpipe, but this star was still insanity.
My first goal was 5 segments, which wasn't too bad, since you can just try the hardest parts over and over, but also pretty frustrating dying 10, 20, 30... times in a row to the same section, knowing every death would be a choke far into the attempt. After more practice, I got from slope to ending, which was absurd progress for day 1, means I got down to 3 segments already.
My goal for the first day of attempts was to get an attempt past the slopes. I got 2 attempts past them, which I was pretty happy about, but since I was so nervous that early on already, I felt like I would never be capable of handling the pressure at the end. Well somehow that second attempt, that got past slopes got the star (the first one died to the skip, to an invis). I have a hard time calling this my new hardest star, when I get it in less than 40 minutes of attempts, especially since the first 20 min I was listening to music, which made the game lag pretty bad to the point where even timing a simple wallkick became like impossible. On the other hand the time you spend on a star doesn't say that much about the difficulty. From my practice experience I wanted to rate the star between 6.6 and 6.8, so I am unsure what my final rating will be. But nevertheless this star is a massive accomplishment to me.

Motchy found out b3 still has some viable stars left, so I had to come back as well. Those stars might not be insanely difficult, but they are insanely annoying to grind. Having to start every single attempt with 8 firsties is just dogshit, because you will be nervous a few seconds into the attempt and it's so tilting being stuck at spawn for ages after having a bad choke.
And I certainly did have a few pretty bad chokes, especially dying to the end of star 2 in a super weird way pissed me off a lot.
Sadly big parts of reds are actually pretty viable, however there are multiple firsty spam sections, which make the star impossible.

The star under the metal box is kinda precise and there are way too many reclimb for reds, but at least those jumps are just vanilla. Still I had a kinda painful death at the end of reds.

The last star isn't possible yet, since goop forgot to place 2 metal boxes. Since he is taking a break it will take a while till we get an update, so I am uploading those stars already.
At first I was insanely inconsistent with the vanilla ee climb for some reason. But I got more consistent with the level again and reds didn't take me that long.
Getting past the first 5 reds is the hardest part of the star, especially the 5th red is precise. At first I couldn't get it at all, but after a ton of practice I at least got it from time to time. The roof is the same as in vanilla ee, but the star grab is scary. It's retryable, but the fire can kill you, since there isn't a way to get hp back.
