2021 Any%

Note: This route takes advantage of a significant glitch known as Rental Duck Manipulation https://youtu.be/THGRgUDlRaM
       The purpose of RDM is to beat races and leave worlds sooner than anticipated, to get into faster minigames
2021 Edition of this route, relies on using RDM in only a certain amount of Races, getting 104-105 energy, and has some minigame route optimizations found by Snivy.  
For any clarifications on boosts, best resource is the currently fastest run using this route. 

RDM optimizations are around a 28 second time save.

duck life space any% route

there is an important glitch in this run know as RDM to perform this during the tournament selection put your duck in 3 times then take them back by clicking on them then click next this is used for every tournament before terra. (for races that you boost press boost anytime the duck is visible)

timing starts when you click ok on the duck creation screen and ends when you beat the space duck

EARTH
dispense seed till you have 65 coins left
scroll over to the right side of the screen and put your camera so you can click both the tourney and the pilot duck wait till around 20.5 seconds then start pilot duck race

EARTH RACE: RDM race 3 
r1 boost at the start when you hit the ground then boost in the second swimming
r2 when you leave the edge boost twice in a row
r3 don't boost

MOON
running 100 points
race the robot duck (boost when your duck hits the ground then another time on the hill) 

MOON RACE: RDM 1 and 3
r1 RDM boost at the corner of swimming and climbing
r2 boost when you hit the ground at the start and boost when you leave the second ledge
r3 RDM boost when you leave the edge

MARS
get 60+ running (2,251) ( for minimum) optimally 75 running (3838 if you don't get enough thats fine just get more climbing in terra)
get 110 energy (270 coins)
race the pirate duck boost at the corner of swimming and climbing and boost when the duck stops rolling after climbing

MARS RACE: RDM all races
r1 if you want you can boost but it's risky if it will actually do anything
r2 boost when you hit the floor
r3 boost at the corner of climbing and swimming

TERRA
intelligence 80 (4.634)
swimming 82 (4,934) (if you nose dive and get past the first corner before your shield runs out you can get around 700-1500 points before you have to go up and continue the minigame regularly) when dying at certain angles you can get double the xp ideally you can get this at 2,467 to do the training in one cycle
climbing 40ish (1087-1,565) (higher running means less climbing)
jumping 70 (3,305)
race the cult duck boost as you hit the ground at the start

TERRA RACE: RDM 3
r1 boost at the end ledge of the first climbing and when you exit the portal
r2 boost after leaving the water during climbing and again when you exit the portal
r3 don't boost

FREEZ
running 90 (3,993) (hold right)
flying 85 5,448
climbing 60 (1,261-784 if you had 40 climbing use the higher number if you had 49 climbing use the lower number)
race frozen duck boost at the ledge and then again on the way down

FREEZ RACE: RDM RACE 2
r1 boost at the beginning of the first climbing and again at the ledge of flying
r2 don't boost
r3 boost right after you land in the water

ALIEN RACE:  boost when you hit the ground at the start (not after the jump) and then boost after you hit the ground AFTER you jump

PYRO
all of the races are very close

1st race: boost at both of the climbing sections

2nd race boost as you hit the ground and then when you hit the ground on the final platform

3st race boost at the edge of climbing then at the slope before the portal

alien race strats: at the end of the crushers (small) hold right while the last one is down and continue to hold right until you come across the hole do not jump just walk over it to fall and be straight to not hit the edges then the fireball should barley miss you keep going till you reach the platform that move and try to be as fast as you can to jump to the second platform to slow and you'll die to a bad pattern on the second platform jump right before it turns around when it hits another platform jump to go down the hole and hold left and jump when the boulder is right behind you if this is done right you should have a fairly consistent alien race with not too much time lost.

extra stuff:
recently me and caarda worked on a stats calculator (caarda did the math i collected data) it should be added to resources very soon  you can use it to get the amount of SCORE you need for things like climbing 
the list of all relevant point (the number displayed in the minigame) to score (the number in the results screen) equations (not that some minigames like earth flying don't seem to have one consistent value)
moon running 5x
mars running 5x
terra swimming 5.011538461538462x
terra climbing 5x
terra jumping 5.03x(repeated)

How to downpatch the game (required for fast times)

You can use DepotDownloader to downpatch the game to an older update, as a recent update made the skills much slower to level up. I won't be going into detail as to how to use DepotDownloader here as there are plenty of tutorials on Youtube on how to use it, so I'll just give important information specific to this game.

- App ID : 606490
- Depot ID : 606491
- Manifest ID : 2503404710774673161 (version from 4 July 2018)

After deleting the new files, paste the old files and rename the exe and add spaces (DuckLifeSpace to Duck Life Space) and do the same with the data folder (DuckLifeSpace_Data to Duck Life Space_Data). (credits to @Creepiumgamer, I copy-pasted this sentence from him on Discord lol)
