A speedy comet brings no new challenges in this "Speed Run." Watch Mario fling himself through gravity fields and space-walk his way to another power star in style.

This saves 81 frames over my Space Junk 1 TAS. The additional coins in this level forced me to completely redo the skip from scratch. I simply tried many times until I got a setup that was smooth and kept improving it the best I could.
I tried MATLF's new skip that goes from the first planet to the last pull star planet but in my attempts, the angles were too awkward to get through the next pull star section quickly. I'm fairly sure his skip is slower because of this (for Mario at least).
Just before the sling star, despite using an instant side flip and having better timing on my spin, I lose 1 frame compared to my previous TAS for reasons I don't understand. My best guess is that I got some weird vertical edge boost. At this point I had saved 44f.
In the final space walk, the improvements come from the use of 2P-boosted long jumps. That tech wasn't discovered back when I made the SJ1 TAS. Special thanks to Sheep and azulon, I used their Luigi TASes as reference here. I wasn't able to recreate azulon's slope jump - I suspect it might be due to the cycle of how the objects float in the air.
