any% log skip route

This is a "new" route, I have made a few minor changes to it from an idea that R0bd0g came up with. With it, we do no longer have the need for a "safe route" to remove resets on Huff / Jr Troopa; as this route can get away with a 4 on Huff.

prologue

* There are two coin collecting routes you can do. One of them involves collecting coins as you go, and it is very tight. If you are not confident about getting and keeping ALL of these coins (encounters), you should get a 4th whacka bump and sell it at the shop in toad town, and in turn ignore all of the coin collecting in this route. This is slightly slower overall, but you will never have to worry about not having enough coins for speedy spin.

*need 6 "extra" coins

- get 3-6 coins in playground
- 10 coins from hammer block
- get coin right after playground in block (BACKUP)
- GET CLOSE CALL BADGE
- coin in tree after goomba king (BACKUP)
magikoopa: power jump, headbonk 2x, jump 2x





chapter 1

- 1 coin on the way to koopa village
- POW Block before bridge switch
- 10 coins from jump block

- 5 coins on the road
- get the thunder bolt and fire flower
- hit heart block before fortress

- power jump, power shell first fight

chapter 5

- 3 whackas (4 if you wanted to sell one at the Toad Town shop for speedy spin instead of coin collecting)
- there is 1 extra coin before the slide for the 3rd letter if you need it (BACKUP)
- go down the slide for 3 coins
- get parakarry
- get seed
- speedy spin (sell your 4th whacka at the shop if you did that route)
- equip Power bounce, Speedy Spin

- BHS
- switch to Parakarry before blooper

blooper:

	T1: Bounce, Sky Dive
	T2: Bounce, Shell Shot
	T3: Jump 2x, Sky Dive
	T4: same thing until he dies

* Note: A "perfect" Blooper fight means you get a total of 23 bounces on turns 1 and 2. If you got a low amount of bounces, you may want to use Sky Dive instead of Shell Shot on turn 2, and instead use power bounce again on turn 3 for more damage.

- jammin jelly behind tree
- get sushie and enter volcano
- get life shroom in volcano
- upgrade bombette (drop down from the zipline thing)

spike: BLOCK EVERYTHING

	Power Jump, Shell Shot every turn

Huff:	DO NOT BLOCK HIS FIRST ATTACK

	T1: Charge, Nothing
	T2: Charge, Nothing
	T3: Charge, Nothing (You need to block this attack if Close Call made the wind miss)
	T4: Bounce

* On Huff, since we have close call, we want to NOT block the first attack. From here, hopefully one of the next two attacks gets avoided by close call. If this happens, it can potentially save about 30 seconds if we 6 bounce, and we also save our life shroom. However, if we 4 bounce, we will end up losing two life shrooms.

7 Bounce -> dead
6 Bounce -> Spiny Toss
5 Bounce -> Spiny Toss -> Star Storm
4 Bounce -> Spiny Toss -> Star Storm/Do Nothing -> Star Storm/Spiny Toss (use this if he charges with lightning T4)
4 Bounce -> Spiny Toss -> Jump 2x/Spiny Toss -> Jump/Spiny Toss (use this if he does NOT charge with lightning T4, he will charge on T5. do not be afraid to jump on him if he's charged on T5 unless you are at 1 hp)

Chapter 7

- If you lost both Life Shrooms on Huff (4 Bounce), you need to buy a Life Shroom from the shop in Shiver City. Sell your Jammin Jelly to get enough coins. You will also need to remember to get the Jammin Jelly in Chapter 8, I will also add a note there in case you forget.

Jr Troopa:

* Note: Close Call can also save you on this fight.

	T4: Bounce, Belly Flop (5 kills)
	T5: Hammer, Belly Flop (4 kills)
