The route above is the most common, but a few modifications can be made to make the route faster, easier or more consistent. | The route above is the most common, but a few modifications can be made to make the route faster, easier or more consistent. | ||
* [[ | === Beginner === | ||
One way to make the Main Route listed above easier is to substitute one of the most difficult stars in the route, the TTC 100 Coin star, with either [[Navigating the Toxic Maze]] or [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]]. Instead of [[Stomp on the Thwomp#With 100 Coins | Stomp on the Thomp + 100 Coins]] you will need to do [[Stomp on the Thwomp#Standalone | Stomp on the Thwomp]]. This route loses approximately 10 seconds to the Main Route. | |||
* [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]] | |||
* [[ | === Intermediate === | ||
A few slightly faster alternatives exist to the Main Route listed above where instead of [[Big Penguin Race#With 100 Coins | Big Penguin Race + 100 Coins]] and [[Slip Slidin' Away]] you can do any of the following combinations | |||
* [[Slip Slidin' Away]], [[Navigating the Toxic Maze]] and [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]] (saves approximately (0-1 second) | |||
* [[Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and [[Navigating the Toxic Maze]] (saves approximately 1 second) | |||
* [Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]] (saves approximately 2-3 seconds) | |||
=== Advanced === | |||
Rather than doing [[Shoot to the Island in the Sky]] after Dark World Reds, you can save time by getting this star without the wingcap before [[Behind Chain Comp's Gate]]. This saves approximately 6-7 seconds in castle movement as you only have to enter BoB once. | |||
Additionally, like the Intermediate routes, you can substitute [[Big Penguin Race#With 100 Coins | Big Penguin Race + 100 Coins]] with the following stars to save more time: | |||
* [[Slip Slidin' Away]], [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]] and [[Pyramid Puzzle#Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle ]] (saves approximately 3-4 seconds) | |||
* [[Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and [[Pyramid Puzzle#Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle ]] (saves approximately 4-5 seconds) |
