JP Friendly ASP Guide

This is a copy of Starrlight's guide but with added notes on everywhere you can get tea from people whenever you pass them. Different tea making spots, and I believe a couple puzzles were moved around.

[section=Notes]
Hi guys mew1997 here,
After being given advice by Geshode, wiiarctus and a few others, I decided to post my guides here instead of forcing you to go through the drive. Don't worry, it still will be there if you want to download and edit it for yourself. 

This guide won't have puzzle solutions for a few reasons. Firstly, I have a completely separate document when I play the game, so transferring that across to small images isn't really feasible or worthwhile. Secondly, it isn't that hard to open up a walkthrough and find it out for yourself, especially since most of the good walkthroughs have very detailed solutions, better than what I would do. Thirdly, if you're just beginning the game, it's more important that you get the feel of the route, even if doing the puzzles takes a while. In my opinion, once you have the route practised and comfortable, then you can look into how best to complete the puzzles. Saving a few seconds on each puzzle only adds up to a couple minutes over the run, while getting lost and off route can be disastrous.

In terms of when to split, it's up to the person as to what they want. My recommendation though is for beginners, Start of Game, Start of every chapter (noise or tapping no on the save screen), End. Once you become a more advanced runner, adding in sub-splits for each significant event/puzzle helps you get a better track of whether or not to reset upon missing a puzzle, what points you need to work on, and clues about what to do so you aren't stuck staring at the route.

Good luck with your runs and welcome to the community,

mew1997 (Nathan)

Special thanks for this route go to:
Truly Dexterous & Glacoras (for their amazingly helpful GameFAQs walkthrough)
solress (for getting the first console WR and bringing 2 puzzles back to the route)
wiiarctus (for pushing the WR and forcing me to reroute into this)
Geshode (for moderating the Layton speedrun.com pages and giving me a starting point for Layton 2 with an emulated run)
Mindez (for showing me that Layton speedrunning was a thing)
