I know of some tutorials and location of information - for instance LawyerDog's tutorial.

However, a lot of the information is years out of date and many links on wikis are broken or missing. I imagine not all that much has changed given that the leaderboard is largely pretty old times. But, given that this will be my first speedgame, anything that I can find would be of help - especially if there are any text guides that I can read in spare moments away from home or level-by-level guides for bitesize chunks to learn.

I'll definitely be looking at the WR run in more detail, but at this point I don't know enough to necessarily notice small details (e.g. experience management in the first few levels).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
