Hey all,

So I've noticed that SMS bingo is still alive and well. I occasionally catch streams of bingos (and occasionally do them myself from time to time lately). I want to share the master sheet that I've kept around on a public thread for usage.

Link to the spreadsheet: http://bombch.us/B5ok (it's a long google doc link so I used bombch.us to shorten it)

I've been told before by people that this sheet completely devalues learning the game or any knowledge thereof and should be terminated. I personally don't agree with that as bingo is just a fun way to play the game without the constraints of speedrunning it. It's fun to run all around the game collecting goals instead of doing constant resets for a PB. Sure, you could argue this also devalues competitive bingo for Sunshine, but from what I can remember, those that were in the 2v2 tournament are all old runners (and/or top level runners at that). They've basically memorized this sheet without having to look at it.

Another reason why I've kept this is because I tend to see new runners or completely new players who are interested in bingo, but get destroyed because of not having 120 Shines knowledge, or any blue coin knowledge. I think it's fine for new runners to use this as a reference, especially against some of the goals they wouldn't know otherwise (seriously, there's only a handful of runners that can name off all blue coins from enemies or turbo nozzle locations). This spreadsheet only lists what they go to and what shine/stage you can find them. Some have loose references of location, others don't have any reference, few have a lot of info. It's just the way I ended up writing some of it.

I may be overthinking this from the last time I've talked to people about this, but I just felt like getting that out of the way.

One last thing: Sincere gratitude to 1UpsForLife who made the original Master Sheet (which I basically stole and updated at my own convenience). More than half of this is from her layout.

Other than that, happy bingo. If people really don't like this for whatever reason, I'll take it down.
