First is the belly slide across a wet surface. There are a few time saving tricks that I employ frequently. There are other risky areas, but those pose the greatest threat. Since they're so hazardous, I get 20 out of the 29 shines in the first half of the run, in order to minimize time lost by failed runs. A grand total of 29 shines are earned by completing "Voids". Most of the level Voids must be completed twice: Once without FLUDD, and the second time by getting all 8 red coins. Most levels have 2 Voids, and there are 5 in Delfino Plaza.
The biggest run killers were the obstacle courses (I call them "Voids"). 100 coin routes were also challenging in their own way, since every episode of each level has drastically different coin locations and numbers of coins. There's probably a few spots that could be improved, though. I think the route I came up with is pretty solid. I spent over a week running over everything in my mind, and I even made my own maps of some of the levels. I had to come up with a route that minimized travel in between them, and that was no easy task. You can waste hours wandering around trying to find them all. There are 240 blue coins in the game (every 10 of them earns you a shine), and they are scattered all over the place. One of the biggest challenges was route planning. I chose to do a single segment run because I thought that it would be hella cool to watch, and I just have a preference for single segment runs. Other things came up in my life, so I had to quit for several months. I decided it was a worthy goal, and I began practicing. I started trying for this late last year when I saw that there was no record for 100% completion of Super Mario Sunshine. That's something to be proud of in and of itself. Somehow, some way, I didn't die once this time. I just didn't feel comfortable submitting a run with so many deaths, so I kept trying. However, every other run I recorded broke that limit. I've recorded several runs, and I gave myself an allowance of 5 deaths. The thing that amazes me most about this entire run is that I did not die a single time.
