How to make use of the Okami Any% NG+ save for Wii

So you want to run Okami Any% NG+, but you have the Wii version. How do you get a save from the internet, onto your wii?

Heres how.

Kwanzai's save is currently down as of 1/20/17, Here's mine: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/267650551481630721/272140714442358784/Okami_-_Wii_-_NG_Save_Any.rar

First, download the save file of your choice. It can be any save file for any game. For our case, it's okami.

Extract the archive to a folder anywhere. When you open it, you'll be presented with two things.
https://i.gyazo.com/63f72fe4e60f3880301c1d9b2f39ada5.png

The README has credits in it, it's not useful. The folder has the save file in it.

What you want to do, is take your WII's SD card, and place it into your computer, whether it be an SD slot, SD Reader, or something similar.
Drag the folder "private" onto your SD's root. Overwrite anything there, unless you have a save file on there already, back it up if you wish.
Open the folders; private, wii, title
It should look similar to this 
https://i.gyazo.com/a3805243f7fac854e61069be7c24d57c.png

Insert your SD card into your wii.
Go to Wii Settings > Data Management > Save Data > Wii
Find your current Okami save, delete it.

Click the SD Card tab.

Look for Okami.

Click copy. Confirm.

Enjoy your new Any% NG+ save!

NG All Brushes Route Guide

This isn't as explicit as my NG Any% Beginners' route guide, but it uses the same language. If you've run NG Any%, you should be able to follow this guide.

Fun category :)

NG Any% Advanced Route (With City Checkpoint Skip but not Fire Tablet Skip)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YTM-V4ojxT7O6cBQTIBTGbo9dLk54xb0ML_dfB4CAlM/edit?usp=sharing

This is the 2nd fastest major route for NG Any%. This route involves City Checkpoint Skip, a very hard trick which is omitted from the beginner's route, but does not use Fire Tablet Skip. Tab Skip is even harder and less consistent than CC Skip, so it's reserved for the WR route. Both of those routes are also available in the Guides section of this site.

Note that this route is written with brevity, under the assumption that you're already familiar with the Beginners' Route.

NG Any% Pickup, Shop and Equip notes by Cyd | 21-02-2019

Hey folks, these are the notes I use for my NG Any% runs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15jmOyCRIjIGu1vk0Wj63UtXZnSvjTDSD0sNNjQwAE40

They only contains pickups, shops, a few backups and equip menu notes. For anything else and the location of the pickups, please refer to this example run: https://www.speedrun.com/Okami/run/yd3l23jz

These notes are made for the PC/PS4/Xbone/Switch versions, if you run NG Any% on Wii please refer to the older guide made for that version.

This probably saves 30 minutes or so in a run :) Basically you jump once, use the flower to gain height, cut yourself off,and repeat that so you do it 3 times. After the 3rd time you cut it off, you then use your double jump and air dash to get over the invisible wall. Now you are OoB and you simply walk around and then jump into the loading zone. Hopefully people will do NG runs now!
