Cards

http://pastebin.com/895D5H9S

I documented every card location when painting everything, getting all the cutouts, and hitting every block I found. I  wouldn't doubt if I missed invisible blocks or something though. Some cards are rng so on some parts the list next to the level is weird. Every replica card is rng, but only thing cards you've collected can appear as replicas. Picture spots are rng in that they have a selection of cards that can spawn from painting them. At the beginning of Cobalt base the bowser spot can only drop 3 cards, they can only be any type of huge hammer. The flower spot in plum park can only drop 3 cards being either mushrooms or flowers. I'm not sure of the details for every picture paint spot but I don't think that'll impact the run that much. The blocks that have an invisible trail led directly to them are partially rng too, the one at the start of violet passage can either have a spin jump or blazehammer afaik. Partner cards are rng drops as well but are basically guaranteed in some areas like the star rooms in Kiwano Temple and the Golden Coliseum.

The cards are restricted to being painted or not. Cards from paint spots, blocks led from invisible trails, cards inside of wooden crates, and cards from cutouts are guaranteed to be painted. Cards from regular item blocks sitting around will be unpainted. Mushrooms, 1ups, frog suits, tails, and spike helmets will always be painted. Partner and thing cards will always be unpainted.

Hope this helps with routing

Edit: Changed the pastebin link to one I can actually edit because I didn't have an account. Only difference between the 2 pastebins is the 3 x3 cards in sunset express.

Definitive All Flags Route (v1.1)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KWmVuL99Nt5sEVBIYumc-fwNTQZjYjz8Vn3o6Xw-gH8/edit?usp=sharing

The definitive any% route, modified to be focused on All Flags instead. As with the any% route, this document is set to suggestion mode, so any runner is free to comment suggestions, updates or changes that I can then approve to be added.

Below is the changelog of major updates to the route.
-------------------------------------

v1.1 (February 3, 2021 update): Corrected lots of typos, and more specifically, updated the sections on the Sunset Express and Toad Trainworks to be more detailed.

Definitive Any% Route (v2.7)

** https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dccol6bb_pOZPQtMJdM_obzsMSoxrMJG8JXivPKJDl8/ **

This is SingleScoop's route, completely rewritten by me and expanded upon, with much more detail, up-to-date strats and little fixes everywhere. This was a group effort by several people.

Listed below are major notable updates to the route. The route doc is on suggestion mode, so anyone can go in and make suggestions for changes or additions that I can then approve to be added. All are welcome to help out.
-------------------------------------

v2.5 update: The fight with the Koopaling Roy was completely changed (i.e rereouted). It is far more straightforward now, assuming you have all the proper cards.

v2.7 update: Added Goomba Gang Skip in the second visit to Sacred Forest. It skips Huey's blabbering that you sit through when going around the Goombas normally. Huge thanks to Zam/Kol Opa for finding it.

4/8/2019 update: Added more detail for some parts of Chapters 3 and 4.

4/12/2019 update: Wendy's battle strats have been altered! It's now a 4 turn fight instead of a 5 turn fight, cutting out the Big Jump spam turn and instead using three Big Fire/Ice Flowers on the first turn, which skips Wendy straight to her camera phase. Banananana came up with this.

3/18/2024 update: Added Prologue Skip, originally found in 2022 by Glitchy1469.

How to run JP Color Splash

1. Go here: https://wiiu.guide/ and mod your Wii U. To do the following steps you need a Wii U running on a custom firmware.
 
2. Install japanese Color Splash to an external hard drive using this: https://wiidatabase.de/wii-u-downloads/wii-u-tools/wup-installer-gx2/
    You can get the game files by using Wii U USB Helper: https://www.wiiuusbhelper.com/
 
3. Put this homewbrew app on your sd card: https://github.com/FIX94/ftpiiu/releases
 
4. Launch the Homewbrew Channel and start FTPii.
 
5. Install FileZilla: https://filezilla-project.org/ and connect to your Wii U.
 
6. Navigate to the USB storage and find the Color Splash folder. If there is an "ink" folder in "content" you found the right folders.
 
7. Edit the "cos.xml" file.
    You need to download it, edit it on your pc and upload it to your Wii U again. I recommend using Notepad++ for this.
    There will be a line that looks like this: <argstr type="string" length="4096">main.rpx</argstr>
    Change that to: <argstr type="string" length="4096">main.rpx -region JPN</argstr>
 
8. Go back to the Wii U Menu, go to the settings and move Color Splash to the internal storage.
    You can skip this if you think your external hard drive loads faster.
 
9. You're done. Have fun with JP Color Splash. Get WR.
