I made an example speedrun for newer runners who usually start off doing overly hard jumps and taking bad/difficult routes through many areas of the game. This route is in my opinion the perfect reference run for a new runner or someone attempting 0 falls for the first time.

Following this will get you on an easy 3rd cycle or 2nd cycle if you add some basic speedhops and should get you around the 5:35-5:55 mark without any overly difficult jumps.
