2018 Any% NMS Tutorial

This is still decently up-to-date for the NMS route

All Extras Tutorial

This tutorial assumes you have ran No Pause Storage because the route and strats are extremely similar outside of the extras, and nobody runs this category before NPS anyway. A handful of extras aren't collected in the same way as in 100% so I wouldn't recommend using this as a 100% tutorial for the most part. This isn't a super in-depth tutorial but hopefully it'll still be useful to NPS runners.

Any% NMS Version Differences

Xbox 360 is slower than OG Xbox by ~4.5s (faster and more consistent loads, but slower driving). 360 is easier if you attempt two-frame tokens in your run because the “Start” button on the OG controller has a bad placement, so you won’t get them as often. 

Versions (fastest to slowest): OG (theoretically), 360, Wii, GC, PS2 (PS3 unknown).

PAL is slower than NTSC by ~18.5s from slower driving. PAL is also slightly darker and doesn’t seem to have as many texture glitches on 360 (not confirmed). One-frames are 1/60 of a second for NTSC and 1/50 of a second for PAL.

On GC/Wii and OG/360, 60hz can be enabled on PAL consoles to play a version of the game more comparable to the NTSC version. However, this doesn't increase the driving speed, so there's no benefit to enabling this other than smoother gameplay (lag-clipping on PAL60 hasn't been tested).

GameCube loses ~2:40 compared to OG/360. PS2 loses ~3m compared to GC.

Token two-frames don’t save time on GC/PS2 if it forces an extra load. 

Having save-game enabled doesn't lose time on OG/360, so it's good for beginners to use it if they're worried about the game crashing. When two-framing a token, the save-game text-box will appear on the screen until collecting another token. This makes it more difficult to attempt the first frame of a two-frame token, since the text-box blocks the token-count. 

All driving levels, “Bubble Blowing Baby Hunt” and "Goggle-Eyes and Smelly Knick Knacks" are 30 FPS on GC (25 FPS on PAL). This makes most "slide-jump" tricks easier in this version, one of which is required in the current route.

Patty wagon driving speeds (fastest to slowest): GC, PS2, OG, 360 (PS3 driving speed unknown).

OG is the most stable version of this game (discounting PS2) because it’s the least likely to crash and is the less likely to "fake-ring" compared to 360 (a glitch in at least one driving and sliding level where you can pass through a ring without it being detected). However, this is still very unlikely to occur on any version. 360 is the least stable overall but is still unlikely to crash.

On OG/360, "Sandwich crash" can occur (a crash that happens if you see a specific text-box in "Sandwich Driving 101" twice before restarting your console). This can be avoided by going around the trigger that activates the text-box each time you start the level, which loses ~4s overall. "Sandwich crash" doesn't occur on the German version.

GC/Wii is the only version with the “infinite load-screen” issue, which softlocks your game in the middle of a load-screen and can happen on any load-screen. It appears to be most common in “I’m Ready… Depression”.

360 is the only version with texture glitches.

Ground-clips (the hardest type of lag-clipping) are easier on OG than any other version, especially PS2. Ground-clips aren't worth attempting if you're not playing on OG, however they're currently not viable in any% for any version. Consistency with lag-clips might be disc/console-specific to the player.



This may be updated in future.
