Any% - notes
Updated 5 years ago by Aurilliux

Here's a scanned version of my hand-written any% notes. A couple things:

On the 'Winters' page, the 'Winters' section is my RNG manipulation for the "pond cave" section. There are other versions of this out there that you might find easier.

On the 'Winters' page, the 'Threed' section is the old Threed RNG manipulation. Don't use this for the new route, but do use it if you want the route that makes a save in Summers.

Page 3 is the new Threed and Magicant. There are a lot of random scribbles, crossed-out sections, and incomplete thoughts here and there. Sorry.

The cats played with Page 4. Sorry again.

Immediately before fighting Giygas, you can do some inputs to avoid doing 34 B's. You can do 3 checks and a menu, and then you only need to do a "AB, B" in the fight with Giygas round 1.

Anywhere in my notes that just say something like "x9" or "x11", that means you need to do X movements. In the combat engine, moving the cursor is worth 1 movement. Pressing B on Ness is worth 2 movements. Pressing AB while hovering Bash is worth 3 movements.

I prefer handwritten notes to typed notes, because I can draw symbols or pictures easily to help me remember things, as well as make arrows for directions instead of trying to (conf)use U,D,R,L etc.

Lastly, I originally made these notes for my own personal use. They might be really confusing to someone else. If you have questions about sections, you can watch other any% runs using this route (Nemi uses his own route), or you can just ask me questions yourself. You can reach me on the Earthbound discord, via a Twitch PM, on Twitter (@adam_swanson), send me an e-mail (my username @ gmail), or accost me on a street corner.
