Doomsday, Would you be able to send me your Speedrunning template you use or show me where you get it from? I don't know where to find one or how to make it yet. (P.s. the one that shows your times)

You mean Live Split?

Make Other spells usable. only 4-5 spells are used really throughout a whole play through. Also, can you add a swap shop that allows the swap between coins, galaxy coins, Frog Coins, etc..? And last but not least.. can you nerf enemies Crit attacks like meteor, Dark spells that autokill, etc?

Most of these have actually be addressed in v9.  Auto-life can be used to counter meteor, and mortality protection can be used to counter dark spells.  The latter was already in v8 as well, though.

I find that the mine kart and Midas falls and booster hill are hard... How did you get so good at them - especially 13 flowers at the hill

And why was 13 flowers so important

Just practicing them.  As far as the number of flowers, in my route you need a certain number of flowers in order to cast all the spells.  There are backup flowers, but they take time to get.

why was 60 coins so important (I understand there's an extra text box over 60(

You just answered your own question 

Considering in the easy mode speedrun Punchinello is tough and Axem Black can just destroy you, I'm not surprised.

The cake is also far harder, due to a combination of healing two candles per turn and using dark attacks...

But yeah, once you've cleared that, you can just get the Siren and farm Gold Dragons until you're whatever level will be needed to set up for Smithy.

I'm struggling with arrow Head...

I haven't played hard mode in years.  If you were streaming, it might be easier to see what you're talking about

What's keeping you from doing HM runs?

Lack of competition, coupled with the length of the run.  Not to mention I'm not speedrunning anything right now...

Back before I switched to doing v8 beta, Mack was the first big place that would make me reset.  The way I did it, I would tank a turn of damage and use a USS on the second turn.  That's the only reason I'm confident you can use an USS on the first turn and rush Mack down.

Mainly because you can't beat Mack with mallow without grinding.

Just in case you're not aware, Shocker can deal significantly more damage if you're frame perfect.  Ideally, Mario uses a USS, Mallow uses Shocker, and the Mario+Mallow finish Mack the next turn, leaving the bodyguards.

Get to level 3, defeat Bowser

You should be able to beat Bowser at level 1 with proper jumping.

As soon as you get the master ball, get Celebi.

Get peach darkstar asap (same as your run)

Get 3 diamond mail and level at least 1 up

This seems out of order, since you don't get the master ball until after exor...

Buy at least 10 poison shrooms

For what?

Defeat smithy

I like this part.

For the Xion fight the route would be grinding for the lazy shell, and getting to 240 defense as fast as possible... He's relatively easy after that.

Right... so where did you come up with 24 hours from?

Considering you can go through the entire game to Smithy in about 3 hours (ignoring grinding)... how does the 24 hours break down?

Doomsday, do you remember where to get the Item Collector? (Thing that increases drop rate of hidden monster items)

You'd have to beat General Guy for that.

if you were still interested in boss rush runs.  They way it is currently set up, you can prep your party before hand, going in with whatever weapons, equipment, lvs, etc.  The only rulings are that time starts at the start of said rush and that time ends once the rush ends.  

That's a much shorter run than I thought it was.  Might have to give it a whirl.

When exactly does time start and end?

As far as level grinding, I think gold dragons are optimal from what I've found so far... Idk. 

As an alternative after you beat Exor... Dark Dayzee gives 400* exp (compared to 200* per pair of gold dragons).  Don't forget your Siren!

For Smithy%, I cannot stress enough the value of demon mail+.  He has 150,000 health after transforming, and you have 6 turns to defeat him before Ultimatum.

*Per character exp gain will be one third of that due to how exp gain is calculated.

Your goal for Smithy shouldn't be to survive Ultimatum... it should be to beat him before he uses it.

You'll still need to be able to survive his barrage of attacks (mainly his auto attack...), but it shouldn't be 227.

In your opinion.. is 100% hardmode run possible? In less than 24 hrs

Yes.

100% would be "All Superbosses Defeated".  This is more or less what you said above.

Whether or not getting Lazy Shell should be required would be debatable.  As for who would do the debating, it's typically decided by the runners.

I used them in the places where perfect blocking was the most important.  For Hyper M. Guard, I used them in places where status effects were a threat (the run doesn't have status protection for the most part).

Ozma was surprisingly one of the only bosses I didnt savestate abuse on. I never got 9999'd from his meteor surprisingly (might have been from demon mail, but I dont know if that counts as a mortal blow)

It doesn't.  Also, the 9999 rate is lower on easy mode.

In that case, the four mails do have similiar if not identical stats.

I don't have a list, but you can just open it in Lazy Shell to see everything.

Weren't you planning to stream your "official" run?

You know, if you were streaming it, people might be able to give you advice as you're doing the routing.

Just a thought.

Side, topic, but do you have a stream?

My stream is the same name as here: Doomsday31415.  I stream various games every Saturday at noon PST.  Currently doing Super Metroid.

All that aside, I do plan to stream v9 when it comes out...

Yeah, the hard mode route will likely involve some grinding in various places.  You might even want to get the Lazy Shell for Smithy!

I wonder if there's a consistent way to do Mack without the flame ring on hard, though...

Better be careful, or else you might encourage me to get some free 5 hour run in... 

v9's in the final stages of testing, so I wouldn't expect any bosses to be added at this point, much less Ozma 2.0.
