== Preamble ==

DDD Skip is a trick that uses Mario's speed from [[BLJS]] to bypass the 1 Star requirement previously needed from [[1 Star]]. It does this by bypassing [[Dire Dire Docks]].

As of 11/08/2021, there are 2 main methods to somewhat consistently get enough speed to continue to the next stage.

=== Hat Setup SBLJ ===

With regular Mario cam, hug the wall parallel to the stair and position Mario's left leg in the stair.

Next, C-Down and create an angle where the tip of Mario's hat is aligned with a line on the wall. Try not to have Mario's left leg leave the top stair

Right before Mario hits the stair, hold up left on the analog stick and start pressing A (around 8-10/s). When Mario is exiting, after building enough speed, he should do an extra long jump on the pillar next to the stairs

=== Slight Angle SBLJ ===

With regular Mario cam, hug the wall parallel to the stair and position Mario's left leg in the stair.

Next, C-Down and create a slight angle relative to the camera using the analog stick.

When you are ready to do the SBLJ, hold down on the analog stick, quickly long jump, and hold up. When Mario is about to hit the stairs and hold up left but slightly more up than left. At this point start mashing the A button (around 8-10/s). When Mario is exiting, after building enough speed, he should do an extra long jump on the pillar next to the stairs

=== Clipping the Fence ===

When attempting the SBLJ there is a big chance to clip the fence next to the stair and lose all speed.

There is one main way to avoid this.

During ABLJ Mario's movement on the left pillar is not random. Mario has 3 Possible directions to "twitch" in.  

<ul>

</ul>

Depending on what stage of ABLJ you are in, these twitches hold different meaning but their speed range, in which they occur, are consistent.

During this phase, we will try to avoid building > 510 speed. At this high of a speed, Mario's speed will reset to 0 and DDD Skip would need to be restarted.

==== First Count ====

This stage begins on the first jump after the two right twitches from the Speed Building Stage, this special BLJ is called the "First Count". Every jump after this first count will need to be calculated. The main purpose of the first count is to notify you of the incoming Second Count.

==== Second Count ====

====Types of Twitches ====

===== No Twitch =====

The speed range in which this happens is below 275 speed.

There are 2 ways to adjust for this speed.

The speed range in which this happens is ~305

This is one of the hardest situations to consistently correct for.

This means Mario has very high speed and if there's no adjustment you will Overspeed.

There is also a possibility in which Mario twitches right and then left. In this case, Mario's speed is on the lower bound of violent right twitch.

To adjust for this speed you want to pull down for a medium amount of time . This speed reduction is closer to a No Twitch than a Violent Right Twitch

===== Left Twitch =====

This is the only speed range in which Mario has two different twitches.

There is also a possibility that Mario twitches Left and then Right. In this case, Mario's speed is on the lower bound of left twitch.

=== Setups ===

For any of the setups, every frame that the stick is held in one direction, mario loses 1.1 speed per frame. But every frame that the stick is held neutral for, mario loses 1.0 speed per frame.

It takes 10 frames from the star door to reach the DDD painting (on average).
