History
In 1996, players were able to beat the game with 31 stars by BLJing past the 50 star door and the endless stairs. In 1997, Nintendo released the Shindou version, patching the BLJ. On 10 May, 2004, a GameFAQs user made a post about the MIPS clip, allowing the game to be beaten with 16 stars on non-Shindou versions. In 2006, TASers managed to skip the 8 star door via a low ceiling BLJ; this didn't reduce the star count because you needed 15 stars for MIPS. In 2006, TASers skiped the 30 star door without MIPS via a side BLJ. This strat was soon used to skip Dire, Dire Docks. In 2009 or 2010, bobmario511 TASed the endless stairs skip via hyperspeed wallkicking, allowing Shindou versions to be beaten with 50 stars.
