More MOTHER Glitchless info

So if anyone else is enough of a lunatic to try running M1 on NES/Famicom glitchless, here's some additional info for better times.

First, just some random info to know that I noticed lately, when saving the game to update respawning, you actually do not need to confirm yes to save for it to update. So hitting no and letting him hang up sooner is nice.
Also for NES, I've abandoned getting repel rings after Magicant because I personally do believe it does not help that much, it wastes time to get them, and it saves money for more important things. So I recommend just getting a bread before returning to Magicant and using it before heading to Little Sweets. Then when going to the drugstore with Lloyd, get $430 and spend $300 of it on bread, the rest at the hotel.

Taking in the info I gave before, there's a lot of time save to be had if you grind far less and get less encounters, hopefully.
So the first spot you can try to do that in is the beginning, do not fight any rats in the basement (just one if any) and then go outside after healing and try your best to hit level 3 and on. This will especially help you build up money faster, if anything.
On NES, you can use your bread for health, it won't really matter to get an extra $30 for more. On FC, it's a bit more difficult, you just have an extra OJ.

So in Magicant, you'll want to gameover to go to the drug store for money at level 8 at least, if you keep leveling up too much it'll start to waste more time so good luck with that. You'll also want to end up leaving Magicant by level 10. Then fight some enemies on the way to Little Sweet's til level 11.

After you hit level 11, pretty much avoid everything else if possible. Fight only what you must. Here's a list of everything you'll want to at least fight and then run away from for sure if you can't tell.
Fight one elephant (with defense up), individual alligators, double eagles (with defense up), individual wolves, ufos, bear, individual skunks, barbot, lynx, bag lady, bomber, fire ball.
Run from tigers, gorillas, double alligators, skunk + lynx, double skunk, double wolf, double eagles (at level 11), barbot + ufo (at level 11), barbot (at level 11), old robot, new robot, distorto, deathbot, omega saucers, titanies... Everything in the desert and on.
