Hi friends- I've made a guide for folks new to speedrunning Monkey Island 2: Special Edition. It should include many of the strats and tricks used on the top runs at the moment and should act as a good place to start if you are just picking the game up. I used Docs to help with the formatting as I find it a lot easier to read than it would be here.

Additionally I did a run and recorded some commentary over the top explaining the tricks outlined in the text guide as they apply to the route as of this guide's posting. I hope between these it may encourage some new runners to try out Monkey 2/Adventure game speedrunning! The video is linked in the text guide, and I'll also link here.

If you have any questions or want to learn more, feel free to post in the forum, hop on the Speedy Adventures Discord, or drop by my Twitch stream. Would be happy to help a new runner! Good luck and hope to see you on the leaderboard!

Updates: 1/26/21 - Updated text guide to include some missing stopManips from the routing video. Added an update to cover the switch to IGT and how to set up your timers. Added a pinned comment to the video guide with the same data.
