150 Star Speedrun Route

- This route incorporates new glitches like Pause Clip and TTM Slide Clip, as well as Star Cancel in THI and Glowing Rabbit Manipulation
- 2nd Key Door Skip and 30 Star Door Skip are not implemented, since they are not worth it with current strats. If these skips become faster and more consistent, a route with them would be faster.
- Many credits to ThePianoEnthusiast for routing and timing
- Following the star order provided for each course is advised, and often necessary.
- To attempt star text skips when collecting 100 coins stars, you need to mash the A and B buttons as they will allow you to do so after a star animation skip. These are optional but save a few seconds overall in the run.
- Some of the stars in this route use pretty advanced techniques, so you're free to move some stars from one trip to another if possible (such as WDW Top o' the Town for example) but keep in mind you need to come AT LEAST 81 stars for the glowing rabbits manipulation to work (the current route comes with 111 stars).
