Note: Decided to make this before the new Sphynx clip route is created, which would save a possible 10-15s more than this currently.

Updated route cuts Employees Only and adds in Lone Pillar. It uses the manipulation trick to get first bullet bill to lone pillar. Saves 10-11 seconds on older route and is 1-2 seconds faster than the Sphynx route (which is replaced by Notes.)

Note: If you are not comfortable without the Sphynx, just add the Sphynx and remove Notes, you won't even lose 5s, depending on how many coins you grab in the Treasure room.

1. Overlooking the Desert Town
2. A Rumble from the Sandy Floor
3. Bird Traveling the Desert
4. Top of a Dune
5. On Top of the Stone Archway (Bulletless)
6. Alcove in the Ruins (Bullet Bill Manipulation)
7. From a Crate in the Ruins
8. On the Lone Pillar
9. Lost in the Luggage
10. Hidden Room in the Flowing Sands
11. Inside a Block is a Hard Place
12. On the Leaning Pillar
13. The Treasure of Jaxi Ruins
14. Wandering Cactus
15. Where the Birds Gather
16. Taking Notes: Jump on the Palm

A really fast-looking route, also completely different from the last Sand runs I've seen, good work! A minor detail - isn't it important to hit the Jaxi chest for the shop moon in Wooded?

Looks good I’m gonna try this out ?

I was wandering that as well, I haven’t heard anyone actually talk about what coins to hit on the way for that star.
