How to find Optimized Routes:
Most players rate Routes based on how many arrow presses. So killing an enemy and moving count as 1 arrow press.
Double Ghost+Key add an additional arrow press to glitch the game.
Try to find an Optimized route by doing less arrow presses than the previous Optimized route.
Some other ways to find Optimized Routes:
Killing an enemy and trying to move on its previous space wastes some time, there is a way to move another way around it which is kind of like a glitch but saves time.
The only current example of getting a wait from entering the stairway from a side is in level 1 where entering from the bottom gives about a 1/10 of the second wait on the second level (There may be more of these, try to find them).
Moving around a key can activate a glitch where you pick up the key because the sprite of Pumpking grows larger just enough to touch the key, this probably works on Levels like level 24 but just haven't been discovered yet to save time. The only Optimized route currently with this is Level 12.
Killing Enemies simultaneously is faster than killing an enemy then moving a space and killing another enemy, the only exception is on level 21.
Moving sideways in quick succession is quicker than moving up and down quickly.
Having a flow and not having to stop to stop to wait for a spike in a level (or any enemy thing) is faster. Like in level 9 where you do the back and forth thing at the start for the Optimized route.
That is basically it. Also finding new glitches, even if rare and hard to do; could save milliseconds which is why finding these routes are so important.
Some levels are straightforward and don't have Optimized routes, for example Level 1 used to be like that until we found about the stairway wait to level 2. One of the most important Levels to be Optimized is Level 24, which currently has been Optimized 6 times, latest by me with 61 Arrow Presses :D
Good Luck and Have Fun!
I am currently trying to figure out how sped up Haid's run is so that we can have it. If anyone wants to help me, feel free!

All of the Required Terminals!
Disclaimer: Some of the Terminals which required multiple Spaces or Spaces at the start I had to use 1s to represent spaces. Having multiple spaces, the website skipped immediately to the next word after a space. Therefore I was forced to use 1s, sorry! I will have a list of the Terminals that require these 1s. (Also having a space at the start, the website immediately skips over it so I also had to put 1s there sometimes)
Also 2s represent the Down Arrow.
Terminal 13 and 14 are just the words without the implication that there are bullets. The times to move your arrow keys will be always different based on your typing speed as these terminals are bullet heavy.
Turbo Mode is unlocked after the initial completion of the game and Ragnarok is also unlocked after playing at the very minimum some of the game.
For players who don't know what Ragnarok is, it is a spell that you unlock after playing another game. The option to get it is after you create your character and once you do the offer, all of your future characters will have it too.
Seeing as most top runs and the fact that there are no game rules to prevent this, I would suggest a different sub category called ragnarokless%
I know the mods aren't really active and they need to be replaced but I do hope that this becomes a thing.
The new IL are all the different terminals and I think that is fine, but what happened to all the old ones?
Watch my Youtube Tutorials on it (Read the Comment Section for Stamps of when I beat a certain required Challenge)
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
The Hardest Part of Over 9000% is the Handcuff and 100% 100% Means you have to do all Terminals... Handcuffs give you less time on Terminals, Stop you from using gloves, and make you take 5 damage per hit by projectile/laser.
Also it is very hard and I sometimes took up to 5 minutes to master a single terminal.
Comment Below if you will Attempt this or Have Anything to Add.
It is small but the Character you Control has a Dog Tail... Hit like if your life will never be the same.

Time is getting very tight now... and it would seem logical to add milliseconds. Maybe not make it required for most runs but for categories that have a lot of runs and optimization, just for the top 3.

Brandon6000 appears to be active and very good at Tauriel Teaches Typing, I am fine with idea of Brandon being a Verifier. It would also encourage Brandon to do other categories and having another Mod to check times.
-
If a Mod does a Self Verify, another Mod/Verifier should check their time, this way if a Mod is bad at timing, another Mod/Verifier would be able to have a better time judgement. This is why having a verifier like Brandon6000 would help.
Reply your Ideas, Maybe Add on to My Ideas, Maybe Agree with my Ideas.
Hopefully Skullz sees this!
Like my Post if you Agree with me!
Reply Below if You Need a Speedrun Verified or if You are Wondering Why One Might Have Been Rejected.
There are multiple choices for dialogue in TTT. When I do my speedruns, normally I skip just one. When Doggo asks you a question (his joke) I say No which basically takes less time then skipping all of the dialogue after.
If you have any more stategies please reply so we can all get better at this game.
It would be cool if there were more Misc. Categories, I have 2 current ideas. 1: Teacher getting mad at you because the keys are cheesy (Which would end speedrun) 2: You finish the secret book at the end of the game about Humans and Adults (Which would end speedrun)
I don't know how you would add them or if there is a limit as I am not very good at moderating as I have never been a moderator.
This one is bonkers for many reasons. 1: The 3rd test you do as you know includes symbols that make the test basically impossible to get S on. 2: The final test with the principal as I had gotten a no hit run on it, is impossible to get an S on. With full health you get a C. 3: Instructions say that the Main tests which is unclear. If main tests don't include the first 3 which are basically tutorials and the final fight, then this category is impossible.
And no I am not forgetting about the competition with Doggo where you literally just have to beat him by getting any amount of points over 0. I didn't mention it because it gives you no grade.
