I always wondered if it was possible to bypass this door. If we put our heads together. We might find a Major Breakthrough in the SM64 Speedrunning Communtiy. THX

I think Mario can do something similar to a MIPS Clip.

Thx

Currently, the most efficient RTA viable is 0 star, TAS wise is 2 keys, though I've seen Krithalith (a programmer of sorts who found the most consistent RTA Viable Carpetless setup) do the 1st step on the main variance between 0 star and "true any%" run

You can easily get past the upstairs key door with LBLJ. But there's nothing there. To get upstairs you must activate the loading zone, and it can only be activated if Key 2 is in your inventory.

TAS is 1 key, the first can be skipped with Moat Skip. But Moat Skip is completely impossible RTA, you have to do basically hundreds of fast, frame-perfect inputs, hold exact angles on the joystick, etc. But yes, Krithalith did do the first part of Moat Skip RTA, but it's the only part that doesn't require any of those ridiculous inputs. All the rest of it is completely impossible RTA.

One day it might be simplified.

Whenever it is tomorrow or 20 years. Something may happen to beat the game with less than 2 keys

The only way to do that would be to either somehow obtain the upstairs key without visiting BitFS, or find a wrong warp that would take you to the upstairs section from either the basement or lobby. Otherwise, it's not happening, since the only way into the upstairs section is through a door that requires the key obtained in BitFS.

with enough speed you can kick in the door waving the .44

The Wrong warp is possible. But the question is how? Since it was done in Zelda Ocarina of time. It might be possible

that's not how video games work

Ok. I wasn’t saying it was real. It was a possibility.

Ur stupid

Ok that's mean sorry didn't know ur new
