Here's your first problem: You played as MArio.

@Peachfanclub

I'm in the Mario Galaxy club!!!! Technically speaking. Is there a website for it? :P Because I'm in it, but not in it. LOL, I'm confused.

The fourth segment is the hardest IMO, followed by the sixth, fifth, third, first, and second.

What is your best time for beating this Galaxy?

[mariomguy]

@ShaunOfNintendo So far, this one, representing the only time I beat it without dying.

I think this guy did it a bit faster but this was still incredible.....I'm struggling with this level atm.

[mrflame2000]

this level was hell. I finished, but I would have thrown my wiimote right after If i didnt X_X

Great job on this. If you're interested, I have a few suggestions: you could use the saved clouds on the flip-switch part to skip quite a bit of it, and you could also skip waiting on the pull star path by shaking to be released and then pulling back up, using the momentum to carry you upwards. Again, fantastic job on keeping things fluid.

[mariomguy]

@Metakirby5 Yes, I could've skipped a lot of that section, but that would've been a sissy move! The pull star path idea is genius though! Getting a smooth run like this is probably the highlight of my Youtube career, I swear. I couldn't find anybody else attempting a speedrun of this level!

[Metakirby5]

@mariomguy I've been trying to find someone attempting a speedrun of it as well, simply for how difficult this level is :P If you're interested in any more suggestions, you could've also walked diagonally on the rims of the ?/! switches to save time from jumping, and used a technique with the flip-switches where you use the momentum from them to propel long jumps (/watch?v=wbXPOTVpIBQ at about 0:20).

[mariomguy]

@Metakirby5 Walking diagonally would've been risky because it could easily trigger a switch you don't want to. Also, that technique seems to be a glitch exploit rather than something intended on the part of the designers.

Honestly, I'm just glad for having beaten this level so quickly!

@mariomguy

But isnt the point of a speed run to take short cuts or as you say "sissy move" Speed runs for me are getting to the end in the fastest time even if it means skipping some. So I don't see it as sissy I see it as helpfull

3:03 - 3:28 : EPIC!

[mariomguy]

@nintendork64 :D i'll admit, that's the part i couldn't practice much, so i was freaked out several times there!

[steke1990]

Wow O.o

But I beat this game in only 10 hours^^ But in 2 weeks or so^^

[LightBlueYoshi]

Whoa... Awesome speedrun! That was extremely fast! Nice close call with the Paragoomba near the end of the Pull Star part (but sadly there was a mistake right after :( ). I like how you decided to talk to Rosalina at the end. XD

I wanna try to improve this (but I'll most likely fail or something). D:

[mariomguy]

@LightBlueYoshi You gotta try to read the course. See what can and can't be done, and what route is faster. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of practice to speedrun, but it's possible.

@MarioSegaFreak :)

[TheHeroOfLegends]

So, how long did this take you to beat, your first time?

[mariomguy]

@TheHeroOfLegends Just beating, 10 minutes. The second time around, 8. But doing the perfect run while speedrunning?! Over an hour and a half.

[micMAXkey]

lmao whenever you shoot from one of those stars that little blue star is like having a seizure hahaha

[mariomguy]

@micMAXkey Just keeping occupied during the downtime :)

[StarmanSuper00]

>It's by far the most ridiculous beast of a level

Tubular would like to have a word with you.

[mariomguy]

@StarmanSuper00 Tubular is nothing in comparison.
