Useful Skip For ‘Path to Pain’ (Dark World) Variant

[HoorayForTyler]

I’m playing SMBF currently and while attempting my no death run on this ‘Path to Pain’ Dark World variant I ran across a cool skip at the end that eliminates the need to pass one of the more difficult parts of the level: 

 

You can see how the skip is pulled off around the 1 minute 20 second mark of the video. If timed correctly and with enough momentum, you can soar over the last set of contraptions that will potentially hinder you from completing a no death run. 
 

Do note that I am by no means a SMB vet or anything—I’ve never played the original game—but I figured something as simple as this could potentially help anyone that has the same generated level as me.

Thanks Hooray, this is one of the most shit level I've found in this game. Probably I'm start to first for no death run attempt

Definitely one of the hardest dark world levels in Chipper Grove, and it just so happened to be the first one I unlocked and played. It’s very unforgiving and timing has to be frame perfect for some sections...I imagine all other variants of Path to Pain Dark World to be just as hard.  Good luck on your runs! ?

One question: for no death runs trophy you need to do all levels in one sitting like first game or you can do level by level?

I’m certain you have to play them all back to back in one sitting with no deaths whatsoever (level order doesn’t matter according to @LucasDiasC). I will say the light worlds are much easier in comparison to the dark worlds and won’t prove to be too much of a challenge for no death runs, but difficulty might be subjective with SMB on a player to player basis. Having to do no-death runs on the dark worlds are what will be the 100% killer for many people just like the original I’d imagine.

Ill confirm level order doesn't matter. When I did Oak Boy I did 6 5 4 3 2 1. So verified.

But don't exit to the map, in this case the progress reset. Dev using this option for don't give a chance to charge the save on psplus, so yes no in one sitting but don't exit in the map world selection.

I have another seed but the same chunk so that's very useful. 

 

But you CAN exit to the map! You are not allowed to quit the game or even go back to the menu but you can exit to the map like in SMB to avoid a death (at least if your reaction is good enough?).

I rebound pause to L1 to make this slightly easier.
