Super Mario 64 DS Any% Speedrun in

I've been trying to get a good any% run for way too long now. 2nd key door skip (at 5:20) puts every other skip in this game to shame in terms of difficulty, so that in my about month and a half of focusing on this category, I've gotten a total of 4 runs past it. 8 star door skip makes getting a good pace into 2kds hard, and the upstairs segment is extremely hard to do well, with 50 star door skip, bits, and throws, which can each go terribly wrong, especially under the nerves of getting past 2kds. The three other runs I've gotten past 2kds all choked the rabbit grab of 50 star door skip, losing massive amounts of time, though one was able to close out decently after that in my previous 11:51 pb. In this run, I got a good set of skips for the very first time after 2kds, then played well except for 1 missed throw to get my first actual not garbage pb ever in this game. If I wanted to I could probably grind runs more to get something like sub 10:30, but this is an incredibly frustrating and tedious category to run, and I got one of my goals of bopping J_Duude's 11:00 for 2nd place, so I'm going to move on to other categories at least for now. In fact, for the past week or two my only motivation to practice or run this category was that if I got a good enough time I would get to stop running it and run a more fun category, so it feels great to have a time I'm happy leaving any% with for now.

Side Note: You may also have noticed that I finally got a profile picture! It was made by c_yoshi for me as a semi-meme a few months ago, but I never put it on until now.
