EWJ 3D Memory Route

General Notes and Terminology:

Marbles: You need all 1,000 marbles to beat the game with an ending. Therefore, and any% and 100% route are intertwined. Udders: Same as marbles Momentum glitch: Hitting B then A a few frames apart to get a faster jump. Utilized a lot in overall movement, but only in short distances. This is however used in many places to gain more distance. Hover gliding glitch: When Jim comes in contact with an area with a slant the game doesn’t know whether Jim should be falling or landing on the surface. Because there is no sliding mechanic, the game basically puts Jim in a suspended falling animation. If a hover is used upon reaching this state Jim can ascend up the platform to gain more vertical height. This is used in Lord of the Fries, Poultrygeist Too, and The Good, the Bad, and the Elderly. Zip line animation glitch: If Jim is hovering to the side of a zip line then merges over he will gain more distance while not being on the line yet. After the hover ends you will still be on the line.

HAPPINESS

Lord of the Fries

(Note this route is a tiny bit tight on health so health management is vital. You should however always have an excess 25-50% health give or take and there is an optional boost that only saves a few seconds) Immediately damage boost across the lava to reach the platform to the left (25 damage is optimal 50 may happen) Kill the robot for the key card, enter the door Go up the fry platforms (Super jumping to collect a marble then hovering to the next platform is optimal movement. Hit C Up to make this section infinitely easier) Hit the green switch (Note we do need to hit this switch for “Pickle skip” as we see later in the level) Grab all the marbles on the pipe and head to the platform below Destroy the three boxes to unveil 2 marbles, do not collect them yet. Kill the 3 robots try to stun 2 kill, then kill the last. Destroy the northwest crates and collect the marbles as you wait for the robots to spawn. Destroy only the back robot for the key card. Roll back and collect all the marbles (6 in total) (Your health (considering you get hit by robots twice which is typical) should be ranging approximately from 75-100) Go back up to where the switch was. Attempt the key card clip glitch. (Jump on top of the key card spot and hold left. Hope to clip. Typically won’t work but looks really cool when it does. If you are not holding left you will fall to your doom and lose a life/the run) Go through that door if you miss the clip. Grab the zip line pad. Hit C up as you go down so you can see where you land. Go up on the platform to the right. Grab the first marble and go around clockwise. When you collect the fourth and final marble do a damage boost to reach the platform with the heart (Don’t angle change if you are confident) Go to the right and kill the first robot that you see for a key card. Roll to avoid the lasers from the other robots. Damage boost across the lava to reach the next platform with robots on it. (If you have low health kill robots for an additional 15 health. Typically you will make a net gain of about 5-10.) Collect the 3 marbles to the northwest (These marbles are easily forgettable so be very careful) Go to the zip line Super jump on top of the needle like thing that starts the zip line. Momentum glitch or super jump then hover to make it a majority of the way through the line. Collect the three marbles to the side leading up to the next line. Repeat the process for the next line Collect the three marbles right of the door. Go through the door. Skip the three marbles off the side of the cliff near the zip line. Get on the zip line Destroy the 2 boxes nearest to the large vine and collect the marbles. Get the balloon and collect the green marbles, then head towards the aliens after you collect all the marbles. (Health management from this point on is simple, you MUST have more than 25) Enter the cave like area. Get the extra shooter in the cave. Shoot all boxes that contain marbles.

Bob and Number Four

Earthworm Kim (Make sure you utilize the radar and even ego boosts when needed. Also do not get close even when you hit her. Also recognize that missiles will typically not go up slopes so it is best to hit Kim when you are on the same slope as her and she is not about to change her slope)
