Null Egg for 100% Warps

hi

So for quite some time I have worked on a possible 100% Warps route, which I was done routing for the most part. You can do Warps in 1-4, 2-1, 2-4, 2-5 and 5-4 to save time getting 100% in a level. Unlike in Any% Warps 3-1/4-7 are not faster . Watch this highlight if you want to see it: http://www.twitch.tv/andy_kuma/v/35815006

Since this category is basically 100% without any restrictions I have thought about potentially using the tongue glitch or null egg glitch to save even more time. While I couldn't find any potential uses for the tongue glitch, the null egg might be useful...

After putting it aside for quite some time I finally looked into the null egg. If you want to have an explaination on it, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH8ZFEoAoOo tutorial by the great nathan eel). I am not sure yet, but it MIGHT save some time.

The basic idea:
- Get Null Egg and put screen transition into it
- Do 1-1 Warps to make levels shorter while still being able to 100% them

Current route IDEA (Goal: sub30mins)
>>>Do a specific 2-2 100% to get null egg
>>>Do 1-3 to get screen transition
>>>Do 2-3 to 3-4 with warps

My notes about things to look out for on each level:
2 - 3 	DEATH ABUSE on first save ring! (Hold right)
		- GET 1 FLOWER (!!!)
2 - 4 	second door in&out then move left->right
		- 1 FLOWER
		- TULIP!
		- SKIP LAST FLOWER!
2 - 5 	after key door (HR)
		- 1 FLOWER!
		- GET STARS! (or TULIP!)
		- Skip last flower if 2 in 2-5
2 - 6 	after first door (HR)
		- GET STARS IN BEGINNING (or TULIP!)
2 - 7 	hug left wall at the beginning (HR)
		- TULIP!
2 - 8 	DEATH ABUSE on second save ring (HR)
		- 1 FLOWER
		- GET COINS!
		- LAST FLOWER!
3 - 1 	regular warp
		- 15 stars -> skip tulip
		- 1 flower -> skip last flower
3 - 2 	DEATH ABUSE after save ring (HR)
		- 1 FLOWER!
		- Tulip Skip
		- LAST flower!
3 - 3 	after entering sub section (HR)
		- 2 FLOWERS!!
		- SAVE RING!
3-4 	after first door (HR)

You will probably not want to keep the null egg past 3-4, since 3-5 has no warp and you can't use lots of eggs in this category.
And even if you got past 3-5, 3-6 & 3-7 would probably not save much if any time, and then 3-8 would probably be the end anyway, since the beginning is not possible without heavy egg usage.


There also is a possible future null egg route (WIP). Basically, getting a new null egg (Or the first one, if the route above turns out to not be faster). The main time save would be in 6-8, but getting a null egg for JUST 6-8 is not faster (Yes, I have tested that lol).

=== After 4-7, since before that it's probably not useful ===
2-2 warpless to get null egg "quickly"
1-3 spawn screen transition into null egg
4-8 first door
5-1 after lakitu ride / door on top
5-2 after first save ring (Death Abuse)
5-3 after first save ring (DA) OR 2nd door
5-4 do normal warp?
5-5 after first save ring (DA)
5-6 play it 'normal'
5-7 beginning left
5-8 after first door
6-1 ...
6-2 ...
6-3 ...
6-4 ...
6-5 nothing -.-" (What a bummer)
6-6 after key door
6-7 after first save ring (DA)
6-8 after first door
