Hey there folks. I've been trying to pick up this run for the past few weeks, and I've found that there are a few things that aren't readily apparent to new runners about how the game works - especially the level routing manipulation, inventory management, and the continue mechanic - so I made a quick mechanics tutorial.

The goal isn't to give the fastest possible strats for the run (TMR's WR run is great for that), but rather to give some quick tips to ease the learning curve of what is, in my opinion, one of the most brutally difficult speedruns in the entire NES' library.

Hope it helps someone out!
