0 Death, Fight Pandorite, Peach Chart Version 1.

06β by Claude (Last updated May

20, 2015)

This route is still a work in progress, but the core principles are:

1. Experience Booster is acquired as soon as possible (upon first visit to Seaside

Town)

2. Experience Booster is placed on either Mario or Peach for a majority of the run,
allowing you to skip the death abuse while maintaining a similar level structure to
the old route

3. Peach is used instead of Mallow upon defeating Exor. Her naturally higher level,
coupled with the swap glitch to obtain Shocker & Geno Blast, means there is no
reason to use Mallow at all (aside from Thunderbolt being 4 seconds faster than
Geno Blast per use)

4. Peach uses Shocker instead of Group Hug during Yaridovich, making the fight much
faster, cheaper, and allows you to buy more Fire & Ice Bombs (which save much more
time if freebied compared to Fright Bombs).

*Note - this route can be further optimized by skipping the extra Sleepy Bomb,
skipping the extra accessories, skipping Pandorite, and possibly skipping Booster
Pass Secret.

Credits to Alanim for inventing many of the strats involved with EXP Booster early,
0xwas for KG / GG equip ideas + Bowser strats from Czar until Exor, iateyourpie for
early game Belome / Bowyer strats, and cyghfer for distributing his Excel
spreadsheets that I modified to construct the EXP / Coin charts for this route.

once your items are stolen)

cost of Therapy). However, you still need 8 FP stocked in order to use it.
- If you opt to learn Poison Gas (swap Peach & Koopa during the 1st Land's End
star), Geno Blast will cost 2 FP during Countdown, and Shocker will cost 4 FP.

Smithy Head Info (Taken from SDA forums):

- There's a 50% chance the body will use its turn to transform the head. It won't
transform two turns in a row.
- Exception 1: the body will always transform the chest head after it has performed
one status ailment attack
- Exception 2: it will always transform on its first turn
- being stunned (0 HP) will not prevent it from transforming -- it only prevents it
from hammering/shooting you

Whenever Smithy's HP drops below a threshold, he changes to a new head cycle

(starting with the first in the cycle).
- starting: tank -> magic -> shield -> repeat
- HP under 6000: magic -> shield -> shield -> chest -> repeat
- HP under 4000: chest -> tank -> chest -> shield -> repeat
- HP under 2000: randomly any of the 4 heads (can repeat)

TRADE CONSISTENCY FOR SPEED

- (J version only) Jump on the Wiggler one less time in the Forest Maze. Then
return the Wallet to the Toad in Mushroom Kingdom before you enter the long
cutscene sequence, and then talk to him again for a Frog Coin. This saves 2 - 3
seconds with J text compared to jumping on a Wiggler. -23 coins from selling a
Flower Tab instead of the Wallet, and -9 coins from not jumping on another Wiggler
(Buy 1 less Bad Mushroom).

- Jump on the Wiggler one extra time and skip Booster Pass Secret (1 more Fire Bomb
freebie required, saves ~13 seconds. +9 coins from Wiggler, -200 from no
KeroKeroCola)
- Skip Sleepy Bomb by jumping on the Wiggler one less time (Saves ~10 seconds, 1
more Fire Bomb freebie required since one will be used on Johnny (Or you can just
watch the Bandana Blue attacks). -9 coins from one less Wiggler).
*NOTE - If you Fire Bomb Johnny, fail to get 101 SJs, and Johnny invites
Mario to the 1 on 1 duel, you will gain less EXP from the fight. This means Peach
will not be Level 11 for Yaridovich, and your entire EXP route will be messed up.
Only do this if you are confident in your jumps.

- Skip Wake-Up Pins (Saves ~5-6 seconds from not talking to Rose Town shopkeeper +
buying them + equipping them. Due to the way the coin chart works out in this
current route, this currently can't be used to buy an extra meaningful (Fire / Ice)
bomb. +42 coins)

- Skip Pandorite (more difficult stars, likely requires at least 2 more Ice or Fire
Bomb freebies, requires different Jump damage route. Potential savings are 30+
seconds? Requires more research now that early game strategies have changed)

- 0xwas Flower Box Strat (Saves ~21 - 23 seconds):

- If you get the Flower Box from Croco 2...
- Skip the 150 Coin Chest in Moleville Mines (~5 seconds saved)
- Skip hitting the switch in Booster Tower (~1.3 seconds saved)
- Skip Booster Pass (~22 seconds saved)
- Return the Wallet (~7 seconds lost)
- Do not buy 2 more Ice Bombs at Seaside (you will have ~130 extra
coins)
- It's up to you if would like to do this strat, or simply take the extra 2
Ice Bombs.

- Alternate Flower Box Strat (Slightly slower, but more consistent)

- Do everything listed above, except DO get the 150 Coin Chest. Then buy 1
extra Ice Bomb instead of 0. You only need ~130 of the 150 coins.

- Rock Candy Gamble on KG + GG?!?!?! I heard this is like 15 seconds saved, but you
gotta stream pretty big for this one.

List of things to do for 1.07:

- Optimize Gunyolk a bit more

- Investigate taking more SP instead of ATK on Mario (Level 6, Level 9, Level 12, &
Level 15)
- Work on Skip Pandorite more seriously
- Add in info on camera manipulation
