I am new to the speedrunnning community, and I have always been interested in speedrunning a game, and captain toad jumped out at me as not being over complex, and being a new game, not to many glitches to figure out. I have been practicing for any%, but have also been looking into 100%. And I have been studying episode 1 (thoroughly) and have thus far have found that you can beat a level with all 3 gems, under the required time limit, and with the bonus objective on 4 of it's levels. Walleye Tumble Temple, Mine Cart Tunnel Throwdown, Drop Road Dash, and Wingo's Watchtower. I have come pretty close to achieving all of these in Blizzard on the Star Express, but not quite. Walleye Tumble Temple is pretty easy considering the time limit is put there thinking that you won't use the touch pad. Mine Cart Tunnel Throwdown is also fairly easy considering it is an "auto-scroller". Drop Road Dash is pretty easy considering that the gems are not that far out of the way, and with corner-cuts and what not, making sure you don't kill that one biddy-bud on the far left before the first gem can be a little difficult (personally), but I have found that it is possible to bypass him on the left without taking damage even when he is at touching the bottom of the droppy thingy. Wingo's Watchtower is one of the more challenging ones, because you need to one cycle him at the end in order to do it. You need to make sure that you grab every turnip and throw it onto solid ground in order to get enough coins for the 70 coin objective, and towards the top of the tower you need to throw one of the turnips at Wingo so he doesn't blow the ladder away from the position it is in to get the third gem. I managed to get everything in 125 seconds (time objective is 127). If done right you should have exactly 70 coins when you fight Wingo, the only coins that you should not get are the ones underneath the third gem in the little alcove that is there to shelter you from getting knocked off by the moving ladder block. That's all for now (please note that this is only for episode 1 thus far).
