Theory Route = GOD Route (catchier IMO)

Theory Route is my take on what to include/pick-up from Carl's Realtime Theory TAS in 2:23:23. A bunch of small adjustments throughout most levels to minimize time loss by really cracking down on NO WASTED EGGS.

Key to utilizing this is to have systematic checks for when I'm conditioned to attempt GOD Route, and when to abandon and utilize standardized back-ups. Eventually this will benefit greatly, but will probably lead to shit runs for the first few weeks or so, idk. We'll grind~

New feature you'll see is a designated egg count for the end of each level in splits. It'll be tight!
