It is a popular category for beginners since it is short, and the basic route/strats can be learned in a few hours, even with little to no casual knowledge of the game. | |||

It is important to note that although tricks are featured more prominently in this category than in [[RTA Guide/70 Star|70 Star]], better movement and consistency is still what makes the biggest difference. <br> | |||
As a beginner, it is recommended to start with a route that does not do LBLJ and improve on your fundamentals before switching to a harder, more reset-heavy LBLJ route. | |||

== | === Beginner Route (No Dark World Reds) === | ||
This route is mostly the same as the standard route, but with the omission of [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Dark World#Red Coin Star|Bowser in the Dark World Red Coins]]. If you plan on taking this game seriously, it is recommended to learn DW Reds sooner than later, as it helps a lot with fundamentals. The differences from the standard route are as follows: | |||
* Bowser in the Dark World | |||
** [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Dark World#No Reds|No Red Coins]] | |||
* Hazy Maze Cave | |||
** [[RTA Guide/A-Maze-ing Emergency Exit|A-Maze-ing Emergency Exit]] | |||
** [[RTA Guide/HMC Toad#For 16 Star LBLJ Route| HMC Toad]] (spawns at 12 stars, do not get this last or MIPS will not spawn) | |||

=== Advanced No LBLJ Route Variations === | |||
There are several route variations for the No LBLJ route which are faster, but generally much harder. In almost every instance, these variations are only faster if you do the most optimal strats for each star; hence, they are recommended only for people running the No LBLJ category extension for top times (i.e. sub 16 minutes). If you are simply looking to optimize your 16 star route for the main leaderboards, it is recommended to switch to an LBLJ route. | |||
==== WF 100c (CCM Skip) ==== | |||
If you can do the [[RTA_Guide/Red_Coins_on_the_Floating_Isle#Kanno Cycle|Kanno Cycle WF 100c]] cycle, it is technically faster than opening CCM to collect Wall Kicks Will Work and Li'l Penguin Lost. | |||
==== Replacing Stars ==== | |||
Ignoring lobby (where you are bound by the 8 star door requirement), the slowest stars in the standard No LBLJ route are: | |||
* In the Talons of the Big Bird (16-17s) | |||
* Watch for Rolling Rocks (15-16s) | |||
You can save a few seconds by replacing one or more of these stars with one of the following stars: | |||
* [[RTA Guide/Red-Hot Log Rolling#No Wing Cap |Log Star / Sidehop]] (12-13s) | |||
* [[RTA_Guide/Inside_the_Ancient_Pyramid#Tutorial | Tama Pless]] (~13s) | |||
