It's cool that you put effort into this, but the biggest problem is that not everyone follows the same route. In fact, all Kingdoms that you get a moon in (Other than Ruined and Night Metro) have a different route depending on the person and their skill. This is less of a guide, and more of just a list of moons. There are a few that would be necessary in providing extra information due to the tricks involved. Not sure if this was supposed to be a beginners guide, or if you just put this together randomly, but the route you show is super outdated for both beginners and advanced runners. Generally we just link to Tomshi's guide for beginners, as it is updated and easy to understand

Ok, because a ton of moons listed are not recommended for beginners due to the tricks involved. Treasure of the Waterfall Basin is only faster if you do chest clip, which is not an easy trick The Lake Kingdom route used is the Lake Clip route, which is super advanced The Snow Kingdom Secret Path moon requires Snow Dram, which again, is difficult for beginners And the Metro Route is the slower, outdated beginners route. I understand that you probably followed Smallant's route for it, but it was made 3 years ago and loses a ton of time due to poor routing.

If you want a tutorial that is more updated compared to Smallant’s, I would recommend Tomshi’s and Tyron’s tutorials, which can be found on Tomshi’s channel.

ok just gonna put this out there, if there are decent guides that are already in existence and you don't have anything new to add, why would you make another guide with the same information? that'll probably just end up confusing people
