This means that this run loses about 2 minutes due to more lag and slower loading times. Pokey showed me a way to prevent megaflips crashing (I haven't had a SINGLE megaflip crash my game since I started using his method of flicking the control stick forward), and the result was a route for single segment that cuts out 2 bomb shop trips by using around 30 megaflips total.Īlso: This run uses the original Nintendo 64 version of the game rather than the Wii Virtual Console version (which was used in the previous run). Therefore, the use of megaflips was severely limited outside of segmented runs, forcing extra bomb shop trips to be taken in single segment runs. In the past, it was assumed doing any megaflips without pause buffering was too hard for a single segment run due to the fact that screwing up a megaflip can cause the game to crash. The main difference between this run and the previous one is the far greater use of megaflipping. After a while though, I realized that the distractions of streaming were interfering with my concentration, and then the ONE time I tried a run without streaming, I somehow managed to shit out a 1:49. I started streaming my attempts over the next 6 months or so, gradually getting better and better (although rarely being able to get through a full run without completely screwing up). At that point, I knew I was going to start running this game more seriously. After I started to get better, I began experimenting with adding more and more tricks into my run, and eventually got a time of 1:58 using the same route as the previous run. At first, I didn't really think I was going to seriously run this game - I was getting times of like 2:12, and was using a terrible route. I started working on this run around August 2010, mainly just as a casual thing to do during the summer when I didn't have anything else to do.
