Any% route

Missions are listed in the order you to go them; Equip/unequip abilities before entering the mission they're listed next to.

Note that some abilities will not be acquired when they normally should be if you've been losing too much EXP - The less hits you take, the better, because you lose EXP for every hit you take. If you're missing a necessary skill, chances are you took too many hits and you won't get it until beating a later level.

[Night Palace]
Reach the Goal
Head to Head
Diehard Challenge
Finish with 0 Rings
Erazor Djinn: Reset your console after beating Erazor, AFTER the red loading ring vanishes from the screen. Then reopen the game, and continue from the same file. This skips the normally unskippable fake credits.
Defeat 20 Enemies
Alf Layla wa-Layla
 
RTA time ends when the mission complete text appears after the final boss. Finish watching the credits to see your IGT, or you can also reset the console when the ending cutscene starts playing, and go back into the game again to see it sooner.

Kuro's Any% Menuing/Skills Guide

This is the new Any% route I've developed. This is slightly different than my PB/current WR (I equip skills before Pirate Storm). I believe this is the most optimal menuing/skill route due to minimizing the amount of times needed to edit your skills.

**Getting hit will reduce your EXP multiplier at the end of the stage. This guide assumes you get lots of EXP and not take damage too much (especially in boss fights) or you may not level up enough for meeting SP requirements.**

You can learn the levels from watching the WR. The first mission of Pirate Storm is quite different due to the myriad of new skills, so please reference [this video](https://youtu.be/-gZVRKYTjgc) to get an idea for how to play it. Feel free to message me in the Discord if you have any questions about strategies or what have you.

The numbers in bracket refer to where on the world's mission list the mission is (i.e. **[01]** is the first mission, at the top of the list). Equip new skills between the end of finishing the mission above and before starting the next mission down the line.
