RTA Guide/16 Star

The goal of the 16 Star category is to beat the game as quickly as possible using MIPS clipping to skip the 30 star door. 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 no casual knowledge of the game.

Category Rules

• SBLJ is banned
• Any method to skip the 30 star door other than MIPS clipping is banned

Suggested Routes

It is important to note that although tricks are featured more prominently in this category than in 70 star, better movement and consistency is still what makes the biggest difference. 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 less consistent, more reset-heavy LBLJ route.

• Beginner Route Goal Time: ???-18 minutes PB

Recommended when first picking up the game.

• Medium Route Goal Time: 17-16 minutes PB

Recommended once you got used to the movement and got a sub 20 time.

• Advanced LBLJless Route Goal Time: 15:5x - 16 minutes PB

This route is mainly for the 16 Star No-LBLJ Category, if you can do this route than it is recommended you upgrade to LBLJ Route.

• Expert LBLJ Route (Top Level Players only) Goal Time: 15-16 minutes PB

ONLY recommended if you have many hours of experience and your movement is on a very high level.
