(Listed 6.7) Buffed Stars Volume 1 - Wario's Mud Coast - Tediousness Intensifies (Savestateless)

I wanted to do this star as my first Tier 7 because Toasted Coast reds was my first tiered star, and I'm one of the few who actually really liked that stage, so I was excited to start this, and practice went great nothing seemed too bad, I even thought it might not even be a Tier 6 lol Boy was I wrong⠀ The only thing that worried me was the jump at the end of the Cotton Cape path at 41:27 and Dolphino did a long jump that I could just not get at all. Luckily, I realized that you can just do a jump kick instead, so I decided that I would skip the beginning reds and go straight there in attempts, and that worked for a while, and I got consistent at it, but then I started dying at either the sideflip off the Thwomp or the section that Dolphino did last, so I would then decide to do those early, and the cycle of me changing my route repeated over and over, and I got 21/24 with all of them. It got to the point where the easiest for me was the red at the end of the Cotton Cape path somehow, and the hardest part was the one I did first in this attempt over past the red I did 8th. Before, I was doing that part last, I didn't even know you could do it that early until I kept dying on that section and went searching for any other video of the star. Eventually, I found the TAS MorningStorm had made reuploaded on BiliBili and saw that you could do a wallkick dive over there, and then finally, doing that route, I got the star today first try with it and first attempt of the day. To say I was shocked would be an understatement, I could not believe it was real, after 86 hours across 23 days I got it, I didn't know I could make the sounds that came out of me. Overall, I didn't really like this star as it's mostly, at least the way I did it, just doing precise jump kicks and that's just not very fun. The grind was very much the same just not that enjoyable, but I will say I'm very proud of myself for sticking with it. While it may not be my longest grind by time played, as TD reds took me around 100 hours, I did that in a little over a week and that's a lot different than this. I could only play like max 4 hours a day of this star because I would get too nervous, I mean you can see in the video I was gone for like 50 minutes cause I would get so stressed, that has never happened to me in any other star. But despite all of that, I'm not demotivated to get stars as hard or even harder than this, and I doubt this will even be the hardest star I get this year.⠀ P.S in the description for my TD reds completion I said that would be the hardest star I ever got I will never make that mistake again lol this grind was mentally grueling. I will not edit out the brb sorry not sorry 6/15
