raocow's talkhaus

I really liked the idea of that 4-tower platforming gauntlet. The execution could've been better, but it was a really neat way to finish off the game. My only problems with it are the lava-hopping gimmick which has no business being used as a platforming mechanic, and that awkward angled wall jump part in the yellow section which seemed like just a really cheap way to add difficulty to a section that was otherwise weirdly easy.

Any order is doable. This level took me over two hours to manage to get through all four of them in one go, though, so I'd honestly kind of hoped raocow would use savestates for his sanity anyway, since the endgame is kind of a long amount as-is.

Yeah I mean I would've abused savestates for most of this hack honestly because it really seems to love wasting the player's time lol

If the paths to each tower were wider, then it would have been feasible to just jump off the tower to them, and streamlined the whole thing.

Anyways, I think rao's only weakness with SM64 is sticking the landing of his jumps.

(THANK you for making the impact reference i was waiting for that)

Any time

Now I'll present a tip that would've been helpful but is now useless since the LP is done! Kicking mid-air! It can be used basically as a mini double jump to correct mistakes when landing- would've been good for going down those towers.
I'm sure we can all agree that the best part about this game were the goombas.
Good job on beating it raocow! You really got a lot better as you went on- Some questionable decision making every once in a while, sure, but i've been watching you for long enough to come to expect it
