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. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfwuDpubNWw

The Arch for the koopa is pretty precise, so I lost quite many attempts to it. Secrets were hard, but I found a strat, which made the star a bit easier. But all in all the first 5 stars weren't that bad.
Therefor reds were absolute hell - one of my worst grinds of all time. On my first day I already got an attempt to the last chokeable jump, which I was pretty happy about. The next day I actually got past that jump. I know I am very unlucky, but I was 100% sure I wouldn't choke after that jump, because I never died there in practice even once and every jump is literally free. Well turns out I had no idea how insanely unlucky I actually am and from there the real hell started. I got the star from before the tower in practice, but in attempts I died 40 fucking times there, included 12 chokes to the last jump.

Not an easy star, but it became way more enjoyable once I figured out some strats. At first I couldn't get any attempts past the whomp red, but that one wasn't too bad after coming up with the current strat. Also found a very consistent way of doing the second red as well. Decided to do the firsty red late, which saved quite a bit of time every attempt. With those strats the star was pretty fun, since it has decently fast movement to get to the hard part. Dying 9 times to the end and a few more times right before the 5th red was still frustrating tho.

Over 2 years ago cankicker promised to tas this star, but he never did. Now arp found out how this star works, so he did this star stateless and also helped me getting it. After you clone the bomb and turn it invisible you get something inbetween VS1 and VS16 and you can only clone the star if you get VS1. But even after getting it you might not be able to clone the star, since it can change if you go for that red. To clone the star you need slot 8 and I got slot 13 a ton of times in attempts. At least the star is really short. (Yes I am not the best at explaining that stuff.)
Also here are the first 2 stars: https://youtu.be/vLNReG0QMPQ

Star 3 was really awful. Ledgegrabbing those spinning platforms suck and most of the time the next platforms won't be aligned. I choked 7 times past the spinning platforms, including once past the moving platforms.
Star 2 is a big no, this is how it looks like https://youtu.be/a99AMiwh1Kg

This was the most nervous I ever was and it ends like this. I had very bad chokes before such as in de b3 or stupid ballz c15 and while those were awful, this one hurts so much more. After crying for 40 min I tried to continue, but I couldn't, so shut up with I can get there again. I tried and just no, I can't take the pressure anymore.
There will be some more extreme hack uploads, but all of them were done before this happened. I am not sure if I will come back, since currently I have no plans for that.

The first star I got was kinda tricky, and reds a bit long, but overall this was a rather easy stage.
