Ultimate guide to 'Super Mario Galaxy' speedrunning

What's up fellow Wii enthusiasts? After years of grinding, I've put together a comprehensive guide to speedrunning 'Super Mario Galaxy'.

First, mastering the spin attack timing is crucial. It's the core mechanic you'll be using to navigate and optimize Mario's movement across different galaxies. Practice the homing ground-pound cancel on smaller planets to save those precious seconds.

Now let's talk routing. Every planet has its quirks, and knowing the best path is the difference between mediocre and mind-blowing times. For instance, in Good Egg Galaxy, using the launch star cancels to skip right to the first Dino Piranha encounter shaves an easy half minute off your run.

Do not underestimate the Comet Stars. They might seem like repeated content but are gold mines for time saves. For instance, during the 'Fast Foe Comet' in the Toy Time Galaxy, you gotta control your precision under time constraints.

Invest in a good sensor bar and ensure that your remote's calibration is on-point. Sensor bar placement is key in levels like 'Bubble Breeze Galaxy', where pointer accuracy is essential.

Lastly, community is key. Join the 'Super Mario Galaxy' speedrunning Discord, watch runs on Twitch, and never stop learning. Keep grinding, and remember – every second counts!

I'm just starting out and this is all a bit intense, but I'm bookmarking this for later! Anybody willing to help a newbie understand the basics?

Dude, you can't just gloss over skater strats for the FreezeFlame Galaxy. That's where the real magic happens. Newcomers, learn the triple jump exits off the skating. It's hard but so worth it. The guide's good but we need depth on the advanced tech. Nice effort though.

Pfffft, just use cheat codes and skip everything. Speedrun? More like snoozefest haha! JK... unless?

Spot on with sensor bar placement. People overlook the importance of this. Even consider the wireless sensor bars for a cleaner setup. Also, rechargeable batteries for the Wiimote are a lifesaver when you're in the middle of a run and the juice runs low.

Loved the guide but maybe add some lore easter eggs you can spot during the runs? Speedrunning is cool and all but admiring the little details at lightning speed is my jam!

Hey, good stuff with the guide. Don't forget about gravity jumps, they're tricky but can cut corners in orbit stages like crazy. One thing you could add is tips on star bit management because running out when you need them is a nightmare. Keep up the grind!
