MM: Question & Answer Thread

Yes but you can't "extend" infinity, so that makes no sense either.

Well it extends the superslide after you manually end it, so...

Also, the name "extended" makes no sense for HESS since you don't even start a superslide to start it. :-\

What if we let the E stand for something else, like eternal superslide or everlasting superslide? Then we have the technique neamed HESS and that's it.

But superslide is already infinite/eternal/everlasting/whatever :s

whatever

So that's what WESS means, Whatever Esomething SuperSlide? Is it some list of all abbravations lying around here, that would be very helpful.

Is it possible to OI in MM with Cfoxes bomb damage method or normal bottle OI.

From what I've heard only the bomb damage method works in MM but only with actual bombs. (Chus and bombflowers don't count.)

i can confirm cfox's OI method works. you can use transformation masks instead of bottles, as well.

Out of curiosity, how do people have a 100% file in MM ILs  and how is it legal?

Edit wrong thread

Which controller should i use when i play on wii?
I want to know if theres is a better controller for HESSing than the wii nunchuck's analog stick, alhough im starting to get very confident HESSing with nunchuk, but sometimes i fail it when im nder pressure.

Classic controller.

How the hell are you using a nunchuck with VC?

How the fuck do you HESS with a nunchuck?

Can't reveal... :o

Hi ZSR,

I'm not a speedrunner but I'm a fan of your work and lurk this site frequently.
I never completed MM and stopped watching the speedrun half way through because I wanted to finish the game

My n64 doesn't work properly so I'm looking for a mid game save file for the emulator version, google didn't help. So I figured ZSR community was the best place to ask since you guys probably have loads of saves as you practice various sections all the time

I'd completed swamp and snow, with a few extra masks maybe some extra hearts - average playthrough status probably. Just retrieved the hookshot at the pirate camp and picked up a zora egg, that's where I'm at. I don't know what to do now (and don't want to know) but if someone could help me out or direct me anywhere they might have save for this, I'd be very happy!

Thank you so much for any help :)

looking for savestate

Never mind this :)

It's been so many years I don't remember much and have started again. I also saw the DUFI states posted which I'm getting.
Cheers guys thanks for great entertainment

When you get through it, you should totally learn a few tricks.

You can buy 20 bombchus with just 69 rupees rather than 80 if you mash fast enough.

while the rupee count is going down for the bomb purchase

What is the timing for a megaflip hover/how many flashes/visible frames do I wait until shield dropping and rolling?

It's actually possible with 67 as well

I think 67 is a better number than 69 for obvious reasons ;D ;D ;D

But seriously, that's gotta be like frame-perfect :o I'll have to practice that quite a lot methinks...

It's not too bad, if you're decent at mashing you'll easily get it everytime you try it.

69 is the lowest you'll probably ever have to do it with (no wallet, 99r-30 for buying bombs) which is not hard.

Personally I wait until the 2nd fast red flash (6th actual red flash) before shield-dropping and rolling, it works for me but not sure how consistent it might be for someone else.

What is the fastest/best/easiest boss key skip for Stone Tower?
