This is the thirty seventh segment of the World Record SDA run on New Super Mario Bros DS
This is what I said on Segment 37 of the run:
* Segment 37:
This is one of the longest segments in the entire run.
7-5 (Alt): There is a secret pipe that can be used only when the wooden blocks are destroyed. You can use Bob-ombs but they take too long and there's too few that it's pretty hard to destroy enough blocks to get into the pipe. The solution is to become Mega again. This way I also collect Star Coin C without any slowdown.
7-A: This one is quite easy; the toughest part is the wall jump after getting the second star coin. You have to be big enough and a precise wall jump to contact the pipe. The mini section wasn't bad. There was slowdown nearby the left most Piranha Plant to because one hit = death.
7-4 (Alt): Very easy level to do, I aim for the secret exit and collect the last star coin on this stage.
7-5 (Normal): Now this one is pretty tough. I have to avoid getting hit and not to slow down too much. Everything went to plan and the second half of the stage is way better than my obsolete attempt shown on Youtube.
7-6 (Alt): The shorter visit of the two. This is also pretty tough, too many bouncing Paratroopas makes me think that the level design was done by a member who did the Lost Levels. This visit had better optimisation than the next visit probably because of the small error.
7-6(Normal): I collect the remaining 2 coins on this stage and go to the default exit. There was an unfortunate hit that cost me a few seconds near by the yellow pipe guarded by a Piranha plant. At this rate I was very likely to end the course with 355 so an extra hit wouldn't make a difference really. It would make it a bit easier on the last part since the temporary invulnerability gave me less pressure to worry about.
7-7: What a good way to end a segment with a stage that auto scrolls. I was a bit cautious in this one because there are loads of places I could easily screw up on. I did forget to face to the left on the flag pole but I kept it because it was 10 seconds faster than the previous attempt I posted on Youtube.
I saved the game by paying the sign nearby the Green mushroom house it's mainly because the last coin on 7-Castle is a high risk (leading to death) and the boss fight requires simple input but you can lose a good amount of seconds if you mess it up.
at 2:34 i think u shouldnt have waited for the piranha plant, u should've took a hit because you were gonna get a mini mushroom anyways

@Xiangqi1
That's a very good point. The delay for getting hit however only makes the time difference very minor (at least a half second advantage).
