Is there a 'beginner' route for SMS 120 Shine? I'm likely not able to learn most of the hard stuff right off the bat, but practicing 120 runs should help a lot with movement and learning where everything is. I don't have a preference whether the route is in text or video format.
I really want to learn how to play this game well. Over the last few days, I got my casual 60ish shine file up to 96 shines and 150ish blue coins (as of posting this). I'll find the rest of the coins on my own, but it would be nice to be able to learn the 120 shine route simultaneously.
I'm pretty sure the current Wilko route doesn't require you to do any harder strats if you don't want to do them right off the bat. I think the only trick required would be Gelato skip. You can just follow the route to save the time while doing the shines and blue coins in whatever difficulty you'd like. I'd definitely check with 120 shines runners first to make sure, though. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I2gojd6k2-fiDhW92VFG7C6_-CpGjrDS3H2ai8knDEg/edit#gid=0
Awesome, thanks for the help, 1Ups! While I'm at it, I may as well ask for the same thing but for 96 shines. What I need is just a route for which shines to get and when. Also I want to know what episode is best/easiest to get 100 coins in. And a Delfino route. Dammit there's a lot to this game. Additionally I can't do Gelato skip yet LOL.
I come from running Spyro primarily. People like to compare Spyro and Crash in a way and say that Spyro is more open world and you can make your route however you'd like but in Crash it's entirely linear. In Sunshine, I'm seeing that blue coins play a HUGE part in routing. In Spyro, you visit each level once, in Sunshine, you visit it like 11 times, it's insane. Blue coins also make the vast difference from SM64 in my view as well. This whole thing just feels so fresh to me. Sorry for paragraphing, I just need guidance.
The Sunshine guide has routes for every category other than 120 shines on it, and they're all up-to-date. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19wxG81nHkHlGVPRJZJKp8VcxSeGbRZnKmR9lN7jJSwM/edit#gid=1743316251
