This is a tool-assisted speedrun. Done on Dolphin 5.0 with savestates, slowdown, frame advance, TAS code, and RAM watch (created by Swarejonge). I'm aware that many may not agree with the validity of this strat being in the No Glitch category, but for the most part, we do treat it as such. For a little background, the Rockless Rock Hop Shortcut was first found by Timey all the way back in 2013 ( • [GV] I DON'T NEED DAT ROCK! (tool-assisted) ). To do this, he used the Spear, 2 mushrooms, and a wild turnaround RFH setup with the rock out of the way. This was clearly only intended to be a cool TAF trick, since the wild setup and requirements really gave this no real application in a TAS. However, in 2018, Luke managed to revise the method to not only perform it without needing to stop, but also perform it even when the rock is still in the way ( • gv wip 2 . Since the cut still required both Spear and 2 shrooms, it only application was in the No Glitch Flap for about 2 years. However, after deciding to test Mach Bike's viability with this cut (I initially wanted to test if a 2-1-0 shroomstrat with Mach Bike would be faster than the current BKT's shroomstrat), I managed to gain enough height to make it using only 1 mushroom. This discovery completely reroutes the No Glitch 3lap TAS, and by performing this strat all 3 laps, it will likely save ~8-9 seconds in the completed TAS. For those wondering, the reason why this strat is No Glitch instead of No Ultra like the normal Rock Hop is simply because it never touches the rock. Not touching the rock essentially turns the Rock Hop into a regular gap jump comparable to those on MG and DKS. I know, it's wacky, but that's how the rules currently are. UPDATE: The MKW TAS community has decided that Rockless is officially a "community shortcut". That is, it is separated from the No Glitch category despite not technically abusing any unintended exploits, similar to the large skip on rBC3.
