DDD New Route Beginner

Pre-Notes Information:
These notes are mainly done by Zantetzuken913, so credits to him. I just adjusted the route to include the Dreameater glitch. These notes also feature Texas_Grandmas implementation of the Mini Command for Beagle Boys as well as a few further optimizations by myself.
There is a lot of RNG that will affect this run in various ways. Right at the start is the Ursula fight that can lose you up to 10 seconds. Next is the color of Meow Wows and Komory Bats eyes when created. Best eye combination is double blue as it saves us time so we don't have to pet them. If you don't get blue eyes for either it isn't that big of a deal, you can change it. The rest of the run is also plagued by Overcast RNG to speed up fights, and the final massive RNG section is getting Overcast in the third slot of when dropping to Sora to do Xemnas. It's imperative that you get Overcast for the rest of Rikus TWTNW visit as all fights will be massively slower otherwise, however if you don't feel like rolling for Overcast (For example while still learning the run) you can ignore it, but you'll lose easily more than a minute. Lastly the Overcast for Rikus final section carries over into all of his final fights including Armored Ventus Nightmare.

Also, if you get 30 DP for either character before dropping, then get the Magic Gain lvl1 Drop bonus to help further speed up fights.
