Young Link Break the Targets 4.78 [World Record]

Описание: Played by Mario 64 Master (Scott Rogoff) on October 26, 2025. This is the current world record for this level.

The previous world record was 4.80 by MegaQwertification, from 3 years prior (   • [SSBM] Young Link 4.80 BtT (Former World R...  ). My previous best was 4.82, from 10 months prior (   • Young Link Break the Targets 4.82  ).

This world record took me 64,521 attempts! The hardest part of this strat is landing on the very right edge of the top platform, which requires jumping with the stick in just about a perfect (non-notch) x-coordinate. I just swing the stick from left to down and hope for a lucky poll. This run also requires a careful control stick recenter for the second boomerang, which is hard to make consistent. Many of my earlier runs would have been sub-4.80 if my control stick input was less than a millimeter different on just one frame, with everything else the same.

This is not a TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) - it was played by me in real time.
