Note: The switch version does not have the weapon upgrade downgrade glitch patched, to slightly counteract this make sure to never open your menu and especially dont hover over your weapon and gear only upgrade or equip your stuff in the tourney (when you race a dude and it gives the option to change what you want to wear) Note 2: The minigames on switch seem to give you experience slower overall, so while the route does save significant chunks of time due to KMS (Kill screen minigame skip) it loses a lot of that time due to the minigames that you have to play either for coins or for KMS being overall slower
There are some potential improvements of this route that may need to be timed doing more Speed in Mountains as the KMS is fast, but this also cuts back on coins gained in egypt (Which are critical in a noWheelrun)
Note on the wheel: In the switch version and probably Xbone, you can spin the wheel repeatadly to get whatever you want, a potential upside for this in the future is not only getting some levels, but getting more coins to skip minigames such as Power 35 in Grassland, and to make Egypt safer as the second battle in the Egypt tourney seemingly relies on RNG if you dont have enough coins to upgrade your science suit to level 4 for both of them
KMS: To do this glitch you must first lose the minigame. Then on the death screen hit pause and the game will "unpause" and will continue to give you experience after the fact in some situations you can just put down the joycons and sit there, in others the minigame will stop if you "die" again and you have to hit pause again.
