RTA Guide/120 Star: Difference between revisions

The goal of 120 star is collect every star and beat the game.

* No gameplay restrictions. In particular, all forms of BLJ and sequence breaks such as skipping door requirements is allowed.

It is generally recommended to learn [[RTA Guide/70 Star| 70 star]] before 120 since almost everything you learn will carry over to 120 star and with the shorter stars out of the way you can focus solely on the longer 120 star specific stars.

There are many routes for 120 star involving different stage order and castle movement. The route used in this guide is the most commonly used non-lblj route which gets to basement as early as possible as it is one of the hardest parts of the run. Once you have learned all the stars separately, you will be able to adapt to other routes fairly easily.

These star routes are just a few examples of RTA strategies, they are not single star records. For a demonstration of optimized RTA strats, check out the [https://youtu.be/zLGWUumfXeg 120 star ideal run].
