Description:
Part 2 of this TAS of Super Mario Galaxy 2:
Spin-Dig Galaxy: Digga-Leg's Planet
Spin-Dig Galaxy: Silver Stars Down Deep
Rightside Down Galaxy: Breaking the Laws of Gravity

- I missed star bits in various places in the video. You feel so relieved after having completed a difficult section that you forget to collect the star bits.
- 1:22 it's faster to do a homing ground pound here. Also, on the underside of the planet, it would have been a few frames faster to do a jump.
- 2:00 it would have saved a few frames not to collect these coins here
- 3:04 I couldn't find a way to stop Digga-Leg destroying this Digga. I'm happy with this though, because this fight is well-known for its dependency on RNG.
- 7:54 I don't know if it's possible to get past this goomba with only 1 star bit without losing time. Also it might have been possible to backflip off the ? block a couple of frames earlier.
- 8:26 it is about 4 frames faster to fire 2 successive fireballs if you stop shaking the Wii remote in between, so that's what I did here, though to make it faster the timing is very precise.

Strategies in various places found by various people (it's difficult to find exactly who they are), so credit to them!

TAS videos are not played by hand, but the controller inputs for the game are edited frame-by-frame, making this a really time-consuming process. I would therefore appreciate it if you leave a like if you enjoyed the video.

Due to these videos taking such a long time to make, I'm afraid you cannot expect very regular uploads. If I was working on this full-time a video like this would take about 5 days to make, at least. However, I have A-levels and other things on my mind as well at this time, so the time between uploads may be as long as 3-4 weeks, possibly more. No way around that, sorry :(
