The goal of 120 star is to complete the game while collecting every star.  
The goal of the '''120 Star''' category is to complete the game as fast as possible while collecting all 120 stars.
== Category Rules ==
* Collect all 120 stars.
* Beat the game.
* No gameplay restrictions. (As such, all forms of BLJ and methods of skipping star door requirements are allowed.)
== 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.


== Rules ==
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).
There are no restrictions. All forms of BLJ are allowed.  Timing starts from power on and ends when the big star is collected at the end of the game.


== Notes ==
Once you have learned all of the stars separately, you will be able to adapt to other routes fairly easily.
This guide is made for players with at least some sort of knowledge about the game’s mechanics. If you have just started running this game, I recommend watching both of Simply’s movement tutorials.
==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).
=== Lobby ===
The routing differences between LBLJ and Non-LBLJ exist only within Lobby. Refer to the subsections below for each route.

There are many routes for 120 star involving different stage order and castle movement. The route used in this guide will be getting to basement as early as possible as it is one of the hardest parts of the run. Once you have learned all the stars separately, you will be able to adapt to other routes fairly easily.
These star routes are just a few examples of RTA strategies, they are not single star records. For a demonstration of completely optimized RTA strats, check out the 120 star ideal run.

The goal of the 120 Star category is to complete the game as fast as possible while collecting all 120 stars.

Category Rules

  • Collect all 120 stars.
  • Beat the game.
  • No gameplay restrictions. (As such, all forms of BLJ and methods of skipping star door requirements are allowed.)

Recommendations

It is generally recommended to learn 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 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).

Once you have learned all of the stars separately, you will be able to adapt to other routes fairly easily.

Route

This route has an option: with LBLJ vs no LBLJ (as explained above). The only difference in star order is swapping BoB: Behind Chain Chomp's Gate with Bowser in the Dark World (Reds) + Bowser Battle 1, and then there are the castle movement differences that that entails (including LBLJ itself).
