TTYD Levitate All-Stars RNG-proof guidelines Rev2

TTYD Levitate All-Stars RNG-proof guidelines Rev2
(route minus obvious stuff)
by Tiwill14

UPDATE!:
- Added Doopliss 1 Skip (Vivian Skip) in Ch4, saves over 10 minutes by itself!!! ^_^
- Minor adjustments to enhance the user's experience.
What's New:
- Re-written from scratch, incorporates Bobbery Early & other newly found strats, some only useful 'atm' in this category!
- Skip getting Flurrie in Ch2 (by getting her at the end of Ch4, then reverting to Prologue and entering Ch2), which is a free 5-minutes timesave!
- Boat Mode Skip in Ch5
- This route is the easiest and the most reliable out of the 3 possible routes I developed. To take a look at the other ones, refer to the three_routes text file.
- Works for the most part on all versions of the game (based on JP version), with the provided LevitatePack_Wii (a Gamecube Action Replay with the "Hold L+A For Super
Jump" cheat code can also be used).
