All Ways to Softlock (Maybe More) and How to Avoid Them.

The 1st way is to switch characters right as the bus stop trigger ends.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTMHmByebE0&feature=youtu.be
To avoid this is just staying away from the edge when changing characters.
Be advised spongebob has a chance to keep moving after you use the bus stop which will softlock.
2nd Is going OOB with save glitch and hans enabled.
Heres's one of the few ways you can get save glitch with hans enabled
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak3lyBUfZqc&feature=youtu.be
This should NEVER happen in a run because save glitch is never used.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnNDyklABDA&feature=youtu.be
3rd is collecting a spatula but never hitting the ground.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUNFaOhfQ9M&feature=youtu.be
There is a chance this can happen in Dream but if you're careful it should never happen.
4th is hitting a boss trigger after you beat it the 1st time (except for robo sponge because you get sent to 2nd phase) 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auzJKlJxco4&feature=youtu.be
5th is going past the Taxi trigger and never hitting A

Easily avoidable, just cancel your cb before getting near the taxi, unless you're disabling the hand with this method.

Dolphin Guide

This guide will help you make sure your dolphin setup is speedrun-ready.

First, you MUST use a build newer than 4.0-4221, as loads are guaranteed to be inaccurate on prior builds. I recommend, and will be basing this guide off of using release 5.0 under "Stable Versions" at https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

Next, once you're set up, click the "config button". First, let's look at the general tab:
https://i.imgur.com/KF6Ocgk.png
Your settings should look like this. Dual Core helps keep a constant 60 fps, but is not required to be on if it causes you issues.

The interface tab can be configured to your liking.

Audio tab should look as follows:
https://i.imgur.com/xMALTuA.png

The GameCube and Wii tabs can be set to whatever, paths should be configured for your system automatically during setup.

Advanced should appear as follows:
https://i.imgur.com/m0AEExX.png
This setting is CRITICAL, and NEEDS to remain off, or else major inaccuracies will occur and your run will be REJECTED

Moving on, close out of config, and click on the graphics button.
General can be set to whatever you find works best for you, though it is recommended to keep aspect ratio on 4:3.

Enhancements should look as such:
https://i.imgur.com/wQ8YEzi.png
Any other setting may cause extreme graphical glitches (Red triangles, blue box outline in corner, etc)

Hacks should be set to:
https://i.imgur.com/KY4wTUg.png
If you get the blue square outline still, uncheck the "disable" box next to disable XFB and select "real"

Advanced should be set to: 
https://i.imgur.com/szETqT5.png

Next, right click your BFBB ISO on your game list, and select properties. GameConfig should look like:
https://i.imgur.com/CMCDoFE.png
The important thing here is that speed up disc transfer rate is set to off, or else your loads will be inaccurate and your run will be REJECTED

Patches, AR Codes, and Gecko Codes should all be empty

If your dolphin's setup matches this guide, you should be ready to run. Any further questions should be asked in #tech_help of our community discord. Good luck and have fun!

Suggested Route Guides for Any% No SBA

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E-EHgbfnS0Iq9aEZl88VS-HPC32WRuetQ_AAyt1KQLk/edit?usp=sharing

These are aimed to give people a basic idea of tricks to add to their run as they improve and desire to add new tricks. These are not guidelines, but rather just suggestions that I have compiled together.

Sock guides are also simply suggestions but should be left up to you on which socks you want to get. Just be sure to have enough socks pre Industrial Park (some routes require you to have 2 sock spatulas before Robo-Patrick)

ALSO. You don't always need to improve your strats to get a better time. You can get good times (sub 1:10) using the original beginner routes.
