Quest 64- Any% JP Speedrun Guide by JazzyChoi1991
This guide takes advantage of the two new glitches found recently, Out of Bounds and Spirit Duplication. For simplicity in this guide, we will assume we get 2 spirits per dupe. This guide is an adapted route from SquidTepig's run, feel free to use other routes yourself.
Timing starts from first frame available from movement after clearing the first text boxes. Timing ends on first frame of mammon explosion.
