Paper Mario TTYD: 10 HP Pre-Hooktail Pit No Sweet Treat Run

Paper Mario TTYD: 10 HP Pre-Hooktail Pit No Sweet Treat Run

The new custom challenge variant idea: 10 HP Pre-Hooktail Pit No Sweet Treat. This took four attempts to clear the challenge because of multiple computer crashes and unexpected shutdowns during the run. Originally, I was going to use voiceover on previous attempts, but voiceover was taken out in this run attempt. Challenge run was done through Twitch broadcasting stream, and practice run was done on my laptop before starting the run to verify that this challenge can be completed. This Pre-Hooktail Pit run is similar to Pre-SP Pit variants and often used by speedrunners who use blooper skip glitch to quickly get to the Petal Meadows area. Without Sweet Treat in inventory, bingos, audience and thrown items are off the table, but item drops from enemies are enabled unlike Pre-SP runs. The blooper skip glitch is used in this run to prevent gaining audience and bingos, and as well as using Sweet Treat. The super jump glitch to obtain the ultra hammer early is not used. You can use the badge shop to get all the badges you need for the pit, as the badge shop does open on a sequence after sweet treat is obtained. If the blooper skip glitch is used and Petal Meadows is entered, the badge shop will open immediately as it changes the sequence value. I went in with five life shrooms and shooting stars in my inventory, as I wouldn't need that much life shrooms to bring in to the pit. However, it is recommended to bring a Jammin' Jelly if you don't get a Power Punch item or a Power Plus P badge drop, as you would likely run out of FP when battling Bonetail. The following Life Shrooms I have lost in this run: Floor 15 - Used a life shroom to replace with fire flower item drop Floors 74, 81, and 83 Charlieton has not appeared in the pit until floor 90, on my previous attempts I had charlieton on floor 50, then 60, and 90 before the computer crash occurred. I obtained a Power Plus P badge drop at floor 63, which helped me beat the enemies in 70s-90s, and after the Bonetail Battle, I won with a single life shroom item left in inventory, and got the double star point curse with Merlee's spell. This is the third time that Merlee's double star point curse spell occurred, previously 10 HP Pre-SP Pit and HP Only Pre-SP Pit with Ultra Hammer runs. Since this run was completed, this challenge run may be a crystal-tier once this challenge run gets rated. This may be the sixth or seventh crystal-tier clear depending on HP Only Pre-SP Pit w/UH's difficulty. Coincidentally, this run was beaten one day before a year since I beat Pre-Hooktail Pit on GameCube! Total time of this run excluding breaks is close to my 10 HP Pre-SP Pit with Ultra Hammer run. Notably, I am the first user to beat an early pit run with only 10 HP, without sweet treat in inventory, and without the use of super jump!
