The 120 Shines TAS actually manages to defeat Mecha-Bowser _and_ leave before the sprinkler, but it takes a shot at the very beginning which I think is frame-perfect. In Ricco 6, you don't have to use the blooper as soon as the red coins spawn, so you could just go for the mid-air one without touching water, then get the blooper for the other ones, leading to only one water touch. It might be possible to get all the coins without blooper or touching water, but the timer will probably make it tricky. When spawning on the plaza, you don't control Mario until he lands if you're coming out of a main level, but you can control him if you're coming from the title screen. Just save and quit after Noki 7, reload the save file, and you can hover to safety!

There's actually a tile in the entrance area to the pool that you can ground pound to take you to the room below it, where the leaky bathroom would normally take you. I don't know why they thought to put that there, especially given how hard it is to find the tile (so I can't believe kid me found that before the leaky floor jump), but you could have used that as an alternative to banana clip.

I would actually exclude the roller coaster water based on the cutscene rule. You don't have control over the coaster, and the coaster is what forces you into water, not Mario, so I would count that under the same principle as cutscene water. However, if you were to do the fight too slowly and touched the water a second time on the coaster, I would count that, because that water touch would be due to a failing of Mario's, not the coaster.

I disagree. The cutscene rule is in regards to the game automating mario to touch water beyond the player's control. On the roller coaster, while it is on rails and the path is beyond the player's control, they player _is_ in control of how fast they can defeat the boss and leave. So since there is an element of player control, it doesn't fall under the same rule as cutscenes.

You could fill an hollow battery shell with water, and since goop acts like oil, layer electric goop ontop to electrify the water below, making an infinite battery via using water as a conductor. The fire goop in the mushroom village could be cleaned up and condensed for trash immolation, warmth for the homeless, even natural lighting. Normal goop could be used from anything from fuel to demolition of structures, due to its ability to create hammerspace which stores buildings.

Cool video! Really loving these challenge type videos! Can't wait to see more! Personally, I'd say only 4 instances of touching the water should count. 1. The Mecha Bowser sprinkler. 2. The Noki Bay Waterfall 3. The Noki Bay Bottle 4. Entering Flooded Isle Delfino The bloopers shouldn't count. Following the logic that Mario is standing on the blooper that's in the water, anytime you touched a boat or other platform sitting in the water would also count. Just because it's thinner than everything else doesn't mean it should count. I don't think Pina Park should count either. Though, I can at least understand why someone would count it, being in water during gameplay and all. However, you enter it via an unavoidable cutscene. The act of initiating the touch wasn't really a part of the gameplay. Not to mention, touching it there doesn't really do anything for you? It doesn't refill the water tank or give you another path. The reason I count the Noki Bay bottle and Flooded Isle Delfino is that you're required to move through the water. You need to swim through the water in flooded Isle Delfino to get anywhere remotely safe, so even though you had no choice of landing there, you still needed to touch it. Same thing applies with the bottle in Noki Bay, you're actively moving through the water. Pina Park is a bit different as I would imagine you could jump out of the water and hover away without needing to walk forward through the water first.

Thanks very much! I'm glad you're liking them!

Your other points make sense as well, and I figured everyone might have different opinions on a lot of them, which is why I tried to accommodate those by doing the different counts at the end.

Great video! I love these silly little self-imposed challenges but not everyone who does them are as thorough or as consistent as I would like. For example they might come up with a lot of arbitrary exceptions to their own rules just so that they can technically complete the challenge, or they might gloss over large parts of the challenge that they don't deem interesting enough to show even though it's not obvious why they wouldn't be interesting to a regular viewer, so as a viewer you're just left feeling like the video is incomplete. However, your video was excellent imo, as you clearly established the rules you were playing with from the start, and took the time to discuss any iffy edge-cases (like cutscenes that drop you into water before gameplay) so that viewers can make their own judgement. I also appreciate that you included at least short segments of shines that weren't really a problem but still required some different thinking from a regular playthrough, like the water path at the beginning of Bianco Hills. I understand that this video was just about beating the game, but I'd also be curious about the possibility of a full 120 Shine run without touching water. If you'd be interested in making such a video then I'd definitely be interested in watching it!

I'd argue you ended with 12 unavoidable touches - but I'm not counting the blooper! Instead, I feel you clearly fly through water on the roof while clipping for the beach shine. Technically you also walked over water on the ground during many of the shadow Mario chases, too, but I'm sure those could have been avoidable so I'll let em fly ;P

you should be able to skip 1 pinna park entrance water touch if you do the yoshi go round early skip, which skips episode 5.

You know what, I literally watched a tutorial on that glitch while making this video, but I think I miscounted and thought that since you re-enter the level to do the skip on an older shine, you'd be entering the same amount of times. But I think you're right!

I would definitely count the cutscenes entering Pinna Park.... as 0.5 water touches. You don't get IN the water, but you do have to get out, which is half the action of touching it. (Yes this is a Mario 64 abc joke)

For the manta in Sirena Beach, isn’t there a box on the immediate left side of the level you can ground pound that gives you a 1-up, which gives you an extra refill for your tank? It might’ve made the fight easier

If I remember correctly, in the shine with the out of control ferris wheel, the ferris wheel has no collision so you can climb the scaffolding thing near the ferris wheel and hover through the wheel to defeat the electrokoopa and get the shine.

9:40 maybe you can get that coin with mario and then come back for blooper in time also, in pinna park, you can use EYG (Egg Yoshi Glitch i think) in the shine 5, which consists on managing to enter the subarea for the shine 6 in the level 5, skipping the level 6 and so skipping 1 water touch of the very start

Yes, I've had these pointed out to me! The Yoshi skip is a bit funny, because I actually knew the glitch and watched a tutorial on it while making this video, but I miscounted and thought that since you have to go back to an older episode to do the skip, you'd still be entering the same amount of times. But I think you're correct! As for the Blooper one, it definitely sounds possible!

Just a comment I'm making before the video begins: You may have never noticed this, but touching a 1up or grabbing another FLUDD nozzle (even the same one) also refills your water. Edit: Oh, good, you mentioned both of these techniques!

If you were fast enough, you could also cut down that blooper surf water touch down to 1, I think. With some careful maneuvering, you can jump over to that red coin in the air waterless before grabbing a blooper, then run back to the bloopers and never have to jump back into water.
