Backstory: I wanted to play LADX at work during breaks so I got it from the Nintendo shop. Problem is some glitches don't work to my horror.

Question: What version does the shop use and what guides are available for said version for 100% and any%? (I prefer doing 100% runs though).

I'd guess that if you purchased LADX from some online Nintendo shop, it's going to be version 1.2. (I don't own modern consoles, so I don't really know much about online marketplaces). If you're running 1.2, you're going to have problems.

Any% (the ~4 minute long category) SHOULD work with any version if I'm not mistaken.

As far as No S&Q or 100%, there are no "up to date" guides. But if you REALLY wanted to run those categories with the version you have now you have some options for tutorials.

I believe this tutorial will work for 100% https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQab5Uywf5_Ji-Jo6ou_VNNKbKUbjGMp8

And I believe this tutorial will work for No S&Q

Good luck and happy running!

Thanks. I hope it's going to be fun re-learning the game with fewer glitches.

It's still fundamentally the same game. I preferred it the older way, with fewer glitches. But I'm the minority on that view.

I learned No S+Q-route with this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEw8BLPFL8Wu8rMKJ_5KiYFdYUT2rJTq7

Thanks for that one Bamboo.

After looking at various run varieties, it looks like the Legacy one is close to what I would be doing with version 1.2?

You could definitely run Legacy on 1.2, but the old No S+Q route (the tutorial by Leon that Zorlax posted) is a good option, too. It's slower than the current No S+Q route, but it's a really good run.

ah yes, I overlooked you run on 1.2. then probably LeonP's tutorial works best for you.
