KDL:Castle dedede: Difference between revisions

Doing the [https://wikirby.com/wiki/Gordo Gordo] skip damageless was thought to be TAS-only until around 2022, but since then RTA-viable setups have been found for all 4 rooms. They are some of the most difficult strats in the run though and are not recommended unless a runner doesn't have any other timesaves left to implement.

The bosses in extra mode is so much more unforgiving and therefore,runners mostly don't tend to go for any gordo skips(While whispy skip can be done with the same way as normal mode,  kracko can't  and took until 2022 to discover an RTA-viable setup for it )  (SHOW GIF of kracko gordo skip(EX MODE))  similarly, runner could do a quick intentional death in dedede fight if they are low on health (most runner would be due to kabula fight could drain most of the health )  plus dedede fights in extra mode attacks and moves way faster ,fighting it with low health would be very brutal in general. But there's an unique aspect for dedede as they can go off screen while they are rushing to the edge of it, some inspect shows that they are more likely to do the jump attack(only attack to give double star) in this situation ( but not 100% sure(?)) so some runners found lure dedede to be off screen helpful for getting a quicker fight. (may be a GIF for that?)

At first sight it seems to have no "items" in this stage but in the current ruleset,  those impostor kirby is required to be collect for "all items" run  so gordo skip would not be allowed in this category.
