Stingby storage: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:10, 3 January 2023

Stingby storage refers to storing the attack of an Urban Stingby by unloading it while it is preparing to attack. This allows the attack to be reactivated from a greater distance by loading the Stingby back in, and when doing so, the Stingby will charge at the position Mario is in as it is reloaded. Using this technique, one can theoretically set up one or more Stingbies to bounce on for extra height or distance during a trickjump.

Theorized uses

While Stingby storage has no proven uses yet, there are a few promising potential applications.

Any%

Stingby storage can be used to skip the New Donk City Hall Interior section in nighttime Metro Kingdom, but it is not yet known if this saves time in Any%. The fastest known method involves following the route used by 13 Captures after collecting the Girder Sandwich moon, which passes directly by a swarm of Stingbies below where the skip is performed. After storing the attacks of a few of these Stingbies while passing by them, Mario can climb up and use the stored attacks for extra height to reach the top of the Bowser wedding billboard. From there, it is possible to climb fully to the top using a trickjump.

Since this route bypasses the City Hall Lost & Found moon, an additional moon would need to be substituted in. Due to this, this route is more likely to save time in the variant of Any% where Network System Clock Abuse is allowed, since the City Gardening: Building Planter moon could be collected quickly using a third clock fast-forward.

Minimum Mario

In Minimum Mario, Stingby storage could potentially be used to obtain the Swaying in the Breeze and Girder Sandwich moons as a Goomba in nighttime Metro Kingdom. This would require two less moons to be collected as Mario to complete the kingdom.
