Safe and Fast Any% Route (no timeout)

Any% no Jr. Troopa Skip, no Time Out Hallway, and an extra life shroom.

Initial Routing done by imglower with modifications by kidnomor

This route is designed with intermediate skill in mind. It assumes you know exactly where to go.
I hope this route is of great use to whoever else would like to use it. If there are issues please DM me on discord.
The next advanced step in this route is to skip the beach repel gel and opt for a dupe in Chapter 8. I will work on that soon and post it to this same account. Happy running and good luck.

The point of this route is to give the runner an extra life shroom going into Final Bowser. This drastically increases your chances of winning.

Last Update 2/14/2020 - As of this date my sum of best with this route is 1:47:16 with no early seed, no dupe. Almost every split can be improved. I estimate high 1:46 possible on N64 with this route in it's current form. Duping and Early Seed added would bring that down to high 1:45. Duping coming soon.

(If Bowser heals then keep Jumping 2x or Starstorm, and Sky Diving until he's dead. If you have an extra lifeshroom you can still continue, but will need a 5 cap on Final)


Level Up: FP
        10, 15, 6

- Take off Last Stand, Fire Shield and Speedy Spin
- Equip S. Jump Charge and Power Bounce

Final Bowser: Phase 1
T1: S. Jump Charge; Shell Shot
T2: Power Bounce x3; Shell Shot (ONLY PRESS ACTION COMMAND TWICE) (Purposely fail on 3 bounces otherwise he will heal)
T3: Star Beam

~ Bowser is always going to be at 76 HP meaning that 5 cap will kill, 4 cap + close call will kill, 4 cap = lose extra life shroom will kill, or you die to a 3 cap the bounce damage starts at 18

Final Bowser: Phase 2
T1: S. Jump Charge; Do Nothing
T2: S. Jump Charge; Do Nothing
T3: S. Jump Charge; Do Nothing
T4: Repel Gel; Do Nothing (Block Wave)
T5: Jammin' Jelly; Do Nothing
T6: S. Jump Charge; Do Nothing
T7: Repel Gel (Block wave); Do Nothing
T8: S. Jump Charge; Do Nothing
T9: Peach Beam (Block); Do Nothing
T10: Bounce x5

3 cap = 51 -------- 3 cap = 76 - 51 = 25 HP (Get lots of close calls and spam Star Storm)
4 cap = 66 -------- 4 cap = 76 - 66 = 10 HP (Star Storm + Shell Shot) If in danger use Jump x2 + Sky Dive instead)
5 cap = 80 -------- 5 cap = 76 - 80 = 0 HP

There is a chance he will not wave on turn 4. If that's the case, you're F'd.
Possible backup that I wrote which has not been tested yet I will update once it is.
You might need to be using the extra life shroom strat for this. Not sure yet.
Try to block everything.
If No Wave on T4, then:
(use normal strats if only 4 shrooms)
Glower Strat: (need 5 shrooms)
T5: Jammin' Jelly; Nothing (Block Wave)
T6: Charge (Loose shroom)
T7: Charge (Loose 5th shroom)
T8: Repel (Block Wave)
T9: Charge 6th time
