This guide is meant to be beginner friendly so will might not contain the latest strategies and won't go too in-depth about optimizations.
If you are new to speedrunning, make sure you give the notes a full read through or slowly play through the game while following the notes. That should give you a general feel for route.
If you want to go for top times it is recommended to watch the WR and join our Discord (https://discord.gg/rR5mYAMfVv).
