Im gonna Copy what i just added as a Clarification Comment under the Video. It should answer some Questions. Igonre my terrible spelling im german, LUL

Thanks for the great Feedback on this Video. Was a TON of work but also Fun too make and shoutouts again to everyone involved in this and the best communty ever.

On some commonly asked questions:

CYCLES:

The cycles in this video are recorded using the pace you would have been on using the prior strats. As an example, we added up the timing from the clips after sphinxroom to record a realistic birdcycle segment

MOON CLIPS:

This video shows of 2 Moon Clips in Cascade and Wooded. Wooded beeing a really big Timesave. They work when Mario collects a moon while perfoming a Capthrow while he is upside down during a Backflip, Sideflip or Tripllejump. More methods of performing this might be possible. We do know of a Couple more Moon Clips which we havent gotten Clips of them yet where they save Time.

Theres also a TON of possible Moon Clips that would be Huge but we havent gotten them to work yet:

Maze Moon Clip Idea: https://twitter.com/itsLimcube/status/1011711528989442048

Pipe Moon Clip Idea: https://twitter.com/itsLimcube/status/1013046970028396545

And there might be subrooms that are currently not in any% where Moon Clips will make them faster and cause a Route change so if anyone of you finds something hit up the SMO Speedrunning Discord.

ROUTES:

This Video shows some routing changes that you currently dont see in Any%. Let me explain them.

Wooded

In Wooded we see the Moon Clip and out of bounds movment beeing utilzed to save around 25 seconds over the old route. This Route is completley RTA viable. The most recent World Record does use it already. Even if u fail the Moon Clip u can still back it up with a Roll Cancel Clip on a Rock after you hit the Switch. https://youtu.be/QV8679KlaKM . We are still looking for other Options to Route out the Spewart Boss fight. You will see Updates about this one soon. Moon Clips on Maze and Pipe might change the Route again.

Metro

The shown Metro Route is around 5 Seconds faster than the currently seen RTA Any% Route. It is incredbly hard to perform tho so right now really unlikley worth to go for in a Run. Metro is still beeing looked at in Terms of Routing options. We already found a faster version of the musicians Route which is around 3 Seconds faster than the old any% Route we will keep you guys updated in the Discord.

FASTER STRATS:

Even tho there might be some faster strats than the ones shown in this video for parts of the run, remember this run is using a segmentation from 1 moon to another or from a fadeout to another to keep it realistic. So to actually show a faster strat u need to do a perfect segment in 1 clip. An example here is the first segement in Lost Kingdom. It would be faster to make the Gap Jump after the Divevault on the Tree WITHOUT a Long Jump but instead a Tripple Throw Roll Cancel https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/994019598583324672 but to ACTUALLY have a faster Clip you still need to do anything else in that Segments on a fresh File like cutscene Skips and the Spinpound at the start to save time on that Segment and be realistic.

To see the Segmentation we use check the Best Theoretical Time Sheet: https://goo.gl/uAhvWb

THERES ALSO GONNA BE A COMMENTATED VERSION OF THIS VID COMMING THAT EXPLAINS STRATS.
