Angel's Guide - Nov 28, 2018

Some parts adjusted from ThePurpleLilligant's route. 
-
Timer starts on pressing "Adventure" on a new save file.
Timer stops after skipping/completing the puzzle or the start of the credits.
-
Rapidly tap screen to skip dialogue. Be careful not to accidentally press NPCs or icons after you've talked to them.
One press loads all the text and cancels speech audio, the second press closes that dialogue and moves to the next.
Dialogue takes up about half of the game if you don't skip.
-
GIFTS + PUZZLE PIECES:
Collect all present puzzle pieces and gifts from the top half of Ponyville.
Collect the puzzle piece in Pinkie Pie's Balloon House.
Follow map stars/presents trail UNTIL one of them appears in the bottom half of Ponyville.
Go to bottom half of map, gather all present puzzle pieces and gifts in this half.
Follow map stars/presents trail until you gather all remaining presents/leftover puzzle pieces.
-
MINIGAMES:
Garden - Do small repeated circles around the crank. To avoid spilling water, walk in a straight line from the well to the garden after you spawn in.
Critter - Place the seed directly OVER the hole's sprite. Patience is good.
Scooter Race - Hold right. The top is usually safe, but hit boxes can get weird.
Wash Scooter - You don't have to get EVERY speck, but if you don't sometimes the game will have some longer load times.
Butterfly Tag - You CAN get multiple butterflies in one go, but sensitivity on emulator isn't fantastic(?) for this. Small, precise circles one butterfly at a time can do the trick though.
Runaway Notes - You CAN'T get multiple notes in one go. Precision is key. Sensitivity on emulator also is weird here(?).
Wind Chimes - No need to match the rhythm! You can hit the note the second it crosses the box's white line.
Dance - You don't have to wait for Starsong to finish saying "Ready set go" to start. The second Pinkie appears alone on the screen, you can press the pattern. According to the game you only need to get the first pattern right to win(?).
Balloons - Waiting some time let your balloons interact and be pushed up by the bottom barrier. You can, however, drag the balloons TWICE quickly to get them go a little higher.
Umbrellas - Fast-moving cups, hopefully you're good at following.
Decorations - Blow up the balloons. I find tapping on my mic with two fingers in alternating quick succession to help. Don't do anything with the banner and cake, just skip.
Crayons - Move on to the next crayon as quickly as you can after the first one you drag begins its animation cycle, repeat.

Minigame Tips:

Garden - To avoid spilling water, simply walk in a straight line from the start.
Critter - Sometimes, you need patience. Be precise with seed placements!
Scooter Race - Just ride the top until an obstacle is in your way, move down, back to the top. The hitboxes vary on which object is in your path, so be wary of these.
Wash Scooter - Ensure you quickly cover every centimeter of the scooters.
Butterflies: Be as efficient with your circles, try to capture as many in one as you can!
Runaway Notes - Small circles, quickly and precisely. 
Wind Chimes: Hit the chime as soon as the note crosses into the bar. You need only do 5.
Dance: After the first dance, immediately press Start to receive the present. 
Balloons - Save time by waiting a few seconds at the start, so that you can pop more balloons more quickly. This minigame can make or break your run, based on when you drag your balloons and RNG.
Umbrellas - Really easy, just pay attention. The umbrellas never move really quickly, so keeping up isn't too much of a pain.
Decorations - Blow up one of each balloon type. Do nothing on the cake or banner.
Crayons - Do I even need to give you a tip here...? Okay, fine. You don't need to wait after each crayon the move the next one.
