General Guy No Jump, No Hammer Stats: 10HP/10FP/3BP (Level 2) Badges: Double Dip Items: Egg Missile, Dusty Hammer, Fire Pop, Life Shroom, Thunder Rage x2, Thunder Bolt x2 *Shy Squad* T1: Charge, Egg Missile T2: Charge, Double Dip (Dusty Hammer+Fire Pop), Charge *Stilt Guys* T3: Charge, Star Storm *Shy Stacks* T4: Charge, Double Dip (Thunder Rage+Thunder Rage) *General Guy* T5: Headbonk, Double Dip (Thunder Bolt+Thunder Bolt) You can do this at Level 1 as well (with 5HP Mario), by using one more item, or by guarding the attack T1. Either 1) Double Dip Egg Missile+Thunder Bolt or 2) Guard 5/9 of the Shy Squad hits. You can do this at Level 3 as well (with 15HP Mario) with a Dusty Hammer T1 instead of an Egg Missile, which also looks cooler. However, the Life Shroom only heals to 10/15HP in that case, which doesn't look as clean. I did it at level 2 because I thought it looked cleanest. (Life Shroom heals exactly 10/10HP, Egg Missile does exactly enough to not need to guard or to use an additional item - 8 items also just looks cleaner to me than 9 which you need for Level 1) 5HP/10FP Mario also feels like it's cheating a bit to achieve "Level One" lol I don't like how many items you need for this strat, obviously, but I do think it's impressive getting a 5 turn KO with these restrictions. The "glitch"/second partner turn is necesasry, as you simply won't have options to KO in 5 turns. Even with Jump/Hammer, you'd be hard-pressed to find a 4 turn KO without pre-damage peril setup. --- Other strat ideas I had: -Counting up from 1 to 11. -1 and 2 damage hits on Shy Squad -3 and 4 multi-hits on Stilt Guys (perfect damage) -5, 6, 7 hits (one multi, two single) on Shy Stack -8 on Bulb (perfect damage) -9, 10, 11 on General Guy (perfect damage) -Hammerman variants -Standard hammerman -Mario Alone -Pacifist Partners None of these worked perfectly the way I wanted them to, so I went for more of a silly strat. Shoutout to Aaran for finding this glitch. "Pacifist Partners" is the only one that I got to work "perfectly", but I didn't like the condition itself that much if it didn't give me a really cool strat. Hopefully coming up with something a little different than my usual "hammerman + [x]" still goes well. LOL ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8E_1fluJa4

After forgetting to record chapter 5, we arrive in chapter 6 for, unsurprisingly, a pretty short chapter. Throwback Pro Mode is a variant of the Throwback challenge run. In this run, you are only allowed to use items, badges, mechanics, etc. that are shared between 64 and TTYD. The Pro Mode aspect comes in primarily by applying Double Pain on top of that. Core Challenge Rules: -All items, badges, star powers, and moves with the same or equivalent properties may be used. -This includes Piercing Blow and D-Down Hammer, Earth Tremor and Star Storm, and Bob-Ombast and Mega Bomb, to name a few examples. -No superguards or stylish commands -I make an exception when I accidentally use a stylish command if it didn't have an impact. -Stats must not exceed 50HP, 50FP, and 30BP. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4sBNVbY4fU
