New Pokemon Snap Route

A beginner route for New Pokemon Snap to get sub-2:50 times, adapted from my PB
https://youtu.be/0LC8Q-rzRcY

BEFORE GAME
Definitely use no voiceover - Japanese text may be faster as well but is more marginal

Speed tips
Cart speed is slowed by zooming and by looking backwards
Dpad down/up can be used to spin directly backwards/forwards to look back as little as possible
