Paper Mario Meme% FAQ

Paper Mario Meme% FAQ:

What is Meme%?
Meme% sets specific objectives from a combination of inside jokes among the Paper Mario speedrunning community.  The requirements are as follows:

- A Strange Leaf must be collected at some point in this run. Not many know of this item's existence, and the sprite of it looks like...well, you know.

- You must watch the boo "Stanley" die.  Instead of saving him, we skip the rest of the Chapter and allow Tubba Blubba to run free.  This is a reference to the "Tubba Clubba," a club recently founded for those that believe Tubba Blubba to be the true hero of this game. https://twitter.com/TubbaClubba/status/600856678314049536

- Monstar (AKA Memestar), the most difficult boss in this game, must be defeated.  A Pebble must be used as the killing blow, which deals 1 damage.

- Baking a Soap Cake in the Chapter 4 Peach Intermission.  This is too lengthy of an inside joke to explain, so I'll just post this: http://www.twitch.tv/aisforandis/c/5862214

*You are also allowed to spam this copypasta ONLY while we are baking the soap cake:

Hello everyone! I'm Andis, and welcome to today's cooking show! On this episode, we will be making a classic, yet somewhat modern Soap Cake! Now I know what you're thinking, who in their right mind wants a soap cake!? But we're not in our right mind so that's A-OK! But enough about that, let's get started! For ingredients, you will need cake mix, eggs, butter, milk, the most fucked up route in existence, and some fine quality soap. Begin by mixing all of the ingredients in a bowl, and add extra soap for extra taste! Now that you are all mixed, put that bad boy in the oven for 30 seconds, and think about the scrumptious cake that will soon caress your taste buds. Once baked, take that moist cake out of the oven and slather it in some icing, strawberries, and extra soap for good measure. Once done, give it to your favorite friend and be prepared to experience true rejection. Well, that's it for today's episode, until next time, stay squeaky!

- Finally, using Double Dip and an Egg Missile on Lava Piranha.  This crashes the game for some reason, and is when the timer ends.

Why Meme%?
Well, this is probably more challenging than it sounds.  I will be performing the ~30x frame-perfect Jr. Troopa skip since it saves time in this category.  Additionally, this uses a few difficult tricks not seen in any other categories, such as the Volcano Sushie Glitch, reaching Ch. 7 without Ultra Boots, and skipping Bow with LZS.

Why are you using the old BTS Glitch?
I learned the new one this morning and don't feel like getting consistent at it. Remember, this is just for a fun challenge, not to completely optimize it as a speedrun!

What time are you going for?
I'm not sure what time to expect, really.  2 hours seems about right, but either way, I don't really have a goal.  I will run this until I'm bored of it, and when that happens, we (as in, my friends and I) will come up with new challenge runs and route them out.

Do you have any ideas for challenge runs in the future?
Sure do! The possibilities in an RPG as broken as Paper Mario 64 are almost unlimited.  Things such as Action Commandless, Insane Mode 1HP runs, Level 1 Dojo Completion, etc.  Although these are ideas, bear in mind that we won't be sure if these challenges are even possible until we sit down and start routing them out.

Who's helping you with the routing?
As of right now, Iycewynd and AisforAndis have helped out.  You can find them here:
