Hi SM64 community,

I recently watched the new records in 70 and 120 (congratulations to suigi btw) I began wondering, since carpetless is now consistently possible RTA when it was previously thought to be TAS only, have there been any leads towards pulling off a 1 Key playthrough in RTA? I'm aware that there's a 0 star category but not many people run it because of how unforgiving it is.

Also, when watching these runs, I noticed that suigi used the Japanese version in 120 stars, and in the 70 stars run he used the American version. What are the benefits of each version and how do they yield better times in the respective categories?
