Yoshifan: /* Comet Stars */ Add the Shogakukan guidebook's purple comet requirements; the old "stars 1 and 2 for every one" line was wrong. Format the requirements into tables.

-* The Japanese version's text can be scrolled through more quickly than in versions that use the Latin alphabet (such as the English version). The Japanese version's text scrolling speed is close to the text scrolling speed of the Latin alphabet in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
+* Different languages have different dialogue lengths and text scroll speeds. Korean is the fastest language, followed by Japanese, followed by Latin-alphabet languages like English.
-* Different languages will have different lengths of dialogue.
+** Japanese saves about 50 seconds over English in an Any% run. To get a detailed breakdown on language timesaves, see [http://speedruntools.com/routing/smgalaxy/ this app] by yoshifan.

	* '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nxAilhRxr4 Shore Launch]:''' This is a glitch that causes you to gain a large amount of height while coming out of shallow water. Find a body of water where the ground underneath it is sloping upward and close to the water's surface. From the water's surface, spin downwards into the slope; this can cause you to pop out of the water with a large amount of upward velocity. A good setup is to start from a stationary position at the water's surface while facing the slope; hold A or shake to jump out of the water, and then repeatedly start spinning once you land back into the water. This glitch can be inconsistent; if you're having trouble, try holding the analog stick backwards just as you spin into the ground.		* '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nxAilhRxr4 Shore Launch]:''' This is a glitch that causes you to gain a large amount of height while coming out of shallow water.

		+	* '''Tilt:''' The tilt of Mario and Luigi's body can affect the height of their single, double, and triple jumps. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEkigdJddw8 Video] A backwards tilt can increase the height of jumps, while a forward tilt can do the opposite. Tilt is mostly determined by the slope of the surface you are standing on, but other environmental elements can have an effect. SMG1 doesn't always reset tilt after coming off a sloped surface, allowing for higher jumps off of flat ground in some places. SMG2 tends to reset tilt more consistently, making it less exploitable.
		+
		+	* '''Mega sideflip:''' In some places, a sideflip can get much more height than usual. Start a sideflip while facing directly away or towards the camera, and then immediately hold left or right once the jump starts. This glitch also works in SMG2.

 ** Cutscene skips: skipping (or not skipping) the cutscenes after selecting a star will affect the timing of moving elements.  This means that strategies may be adjusted depending on whether you are playing a full speedrun (where cutscenes can't be skipped) or an individual-level speedrun (where cutscenes may be skipped).  Examples: spike panels and electric wires in Painting the Planet Yellow, penguins in Passing the Swim Test, Tox Boxes in The Secret Undersea Cavern.
 ** Draw distance: some moving elements will not move at all when they are far away or offscreen.  In some levels, this means that when you want to practice a timed element in a level, you don't have to worry about speedrun mistakes that were made earlier in the level.  Examples: boulders on the second planet in Dino Piranha (they'll start moving when you're at the top of the launch star tower), thwomps in The Fiery Stronghold.  In other levels, turning the camera toward enemies (to let them move) or away from enemies (to stop them) can be part of the speedrun strategy.  Examples: Torpedo Teds in Buoy Base, eels in Giant Eel Outbreak.

 *** An example: suppose that the Fountain comets (Space Junk and Battlerock) are taking turns, and your segment begins when the Terrace comets are active.  Then if the next few Fountain comet appearances would normally be SJ, BR, SJ, SJ, then they would instead become BR, SJ, SJ.  So after you complete one star, you would be expecting SJ to appear, but you would see BR instead, because the first SJ comet turn was skipped.
