RTA Guide/120 Star: Difference between revisions

== Recommendations ==

It is generally recommended to learn [[RTA Guide/70 Star|70 Star]] before 120; most stars performed in that category are performed the same in 120, allowing you to focus more on the longer, 120-specific stars.

=== Routing ===

There are several routes for 120 Star regarding stage order and castle movement. The biggest distinction is whether the harder [[RTA Guide/Lobby Backwards Long Jump|LBLJ]] trick is done at the beginning.

The route below is the most common route variant of both the LBLJ and non-LBLJ routes; it aims to reach the basement as early as possible since it contains some of the most difficult stars in the run. Bob-omb Battlefield is typically done before the basement (to get to 30 stars to access the basement), but may be swapped with Cool, Cool Mountain, or both back-to-back (if one doesn't mind delaying going to the basement).

==Route==

This route has an option: '''with LBLJ''' vs '''no LBLJ''' (as explained above). The only difference in star order is swapping BoB: [[RTA Guide/Behind Chain Chomp's Gate|Behind Chain Chomp's Gate]] with [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Dark World#Red Coin Star|Bowser in the Dark World (Reds)]] + [[RTA Guide/Bowser Battles#Bowser in the Dark World|Bowser Battle 1]], and then there are the castle movement differences that that entails (including [[RTA Guide/Lobby Backwards Long Jump|LBLJ]] itself).
