[TAS] Bob-omb Battlefield 100 coins + Reds 0xA - 1:4580

It's time for another BoB 100+reds version! This one was sparked by Marbler /@ supermarble94 , who 1. Found a great triangle near Chain Chomp for speed-building 2. Came up with a new route for the main speed-building section, most notably cutting through the center of the level to that great triangle instead of around the edge 3. Demonstrated a fast dismount from the shell by sliding off the edge of the island. The TAS is an improvement of over 15 seconds since the last TAS: /watch/EkYiDsKtHUlti Most of this is because of Marbler's findings. There are a few other tweaks, some of which were enabled by much better RNG manipulation tools since the last time I TASed this star. Here are some tweaks: 1. I changed the first speed-building section to use Marbler's triangle as well. It requires Mario to wait quite a while between killing some of the enemies and collecting their coins, so there's a lot of RNG dependence there. 2. Around 1:14, you see an idea Tyler had years ago about using water bombs to explode bob-ombs from far away. I think it ends up looking pretty funny. The water bombs spawn directly ahead of Mario at a distance proportional to his speed, so first we snipe a faraway bob-omb, then land on a sign and walk at low speeds to hit a nearby one as well. Mario still has to lure the last two bob-ombs to each other. A water bomb tried to get revenge on Mario while he grabbed the cork box around 1:21; I had to brake a couple of frames before diving to manipulate the spawn location. 3. Different order and more aggressive timing for collecting the wooden post coins, made possible by the better RNG manipulation tools. 4. Chain Chomp gets in the way of its post a lot more with this faster route. Mario's new movement at 0:54 doesn't lose as much time as it appears to - about 1-2f compared to the ideal Chomp, if I remember right.
