[Old route] Defenders of Dynatron City - speedrun tips and quick reference

Streets:
- use Ms. Megawatt everywhere, switch to Buzzsaw Girl for the blimp
- blowing up a car kills any nearby enemies - it's easier than hitting a moving target, and if you're lucky you can get a multi-kill
- after killing an enemy, spam more projectiles without moving - you should kill the next few replacements as they spawn just off-screen
    - works especially well for flyers
- if you're going to change characters for the Blimp fight, do it BEFORE entering C Street, because pausing resets the Blimp position back to off-screen
- Toolbox can get the quickest Blimp kill, but it's tough. Buzzsaw Girl should be able to get a 2-cycle without spawning any flyers. Ms. Megawatt seems less consistent.

- C: far right, exit down
- 6: left for Auto Shop (Ms. Megawatt grabs the upgrade), far left, exit down
- A: left 1 block, exit down
- 4: right 1 block, exit down
- B: far right, exit down
- 5: far right, exit down
- D : left for Hardware Store (Buzzsaw Girl grabs the upgrade), left for Drug Store (Toolbox grabs the upgrade), left 1 block, exit UP
- 3: left 1 block, exit down
- C: left 1 block, exit UP
- 2: far left, exit down
- A: far left, exit down
- 1: right for Toy Store (Monkey Kid grabs the upgrade), right 2 blocks, exit UP
- C: kill Blimp, get supercharger

Mall:
- run with Ms. Megawatt, fight with Toolbox
    - spam Toolbox's jump attack, try to stay behind the Robosaurs and not to get hit too much
- switch to Radium Dog when Toolbox's health or power gets too low
    - have Radium Dog fly and slowly descend as a Robosaur is landing from a jump, to glitch it out, then spam bites
- use Buzzsaw Girl on the boss
    - spam jump attacks (or regular attacks) and stay VERY close behind him
    - beware, he may turn around if he hits the edge of the stage
    - NOTE: IF you plan on grabbing a late mall item, beware of accidentally grabbing the supercharger too quickly before you do so
- POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS:
    - Current WR does not grab an item from the mall...
    - You could use Toolbox for ALL Robosaurs (it's faster than Dog) and grab a power refill for him (though health will likely be VERY tight, and you need him alive)
    - Or you could grab a safety Full Heal for anyone who needs one, for extra insurance in Proto-Cola later when you'll be taking lots of damage on all characters
    - Last thing I'll say... I don't currently have a good understanding of Robosaur spawns or Robosaur hitboxes. Sometimes I run past them as Ms. Megawatt and can't find them. And sometimes Radium Dog struggles to hit them. Investigation into these areas would be helpful.

Sewers:
- use Buzzsaw Girl regular attacks for lizards, Toolbox jumps for birds and boss
- 5-C-3-B-4-B-1-D-6-A-2

Proto-Cola Factory:
- at any point, if very low on total health in your party, switch to Toolbox to tank some hits if there are too many bubbles - it's SLOW, but better than a game over
- Monkey Kid: can take potshots with projectiles while running right; mostly use Radium Dog
- Toolbox: use Buzzsaw Girl regular attacks - try to separate and stunlock them
- Buzzsaw Girl: all-out offensive with whoever you've got left, let heroes die if necessary!
    - just don't let Radium Dog die
    - priority: Buzzsaw Girl, Ms. Megawatt, Radium Dog

Dr. Mayhem:
- use Radium Dog and superchargers

[Old route] World Record speedrun watchback with commentary

Small Time Save

Found this 2 months after Boost was already over, might be useful for someone, so decided to put it here.

After the last hit on Dr. Mayhem go into the menu and back, it'll skip his monologue and save you about 0.3s
