Hard reset the console right before starting your run, and include this hard reset in video submissions. Remove the memory card before the file select screen. Timing starts when you confirm your filename. You can put the memory card back in any time after the curtain pulls.
This route requires the Japanese version of the game. It does the pit very early in the game and makes use of every skip that we currently have.
This route barely contains backups, it assumes things go according to plan for the most part. If things go very wrong, fallback on This Route
Timing starts when you accept the file name
A notation for menuing has been implemented in order to try and shorten things.

Glitz Pit Notes
*Jumping while waiting for the Security Guard delays him from entering the room. Try to avoid doing any actions during this time aside from equipping badges/swapping partners
The fastest way to fulfill "use at least one Special Move" is to fail an Earth Tremor. If you do this, it may be a good idea to appeal on turns where you can't attack, or to use stylish moves to refill your Star Power in case this condition comes up again
Using an item or special move that affects the enemy (even without directly doing damage) DOES count as an attack in the event of "do not attack for the first 3 turns" or "do not let Mario attack," so DO NOT have the respective character even use a Fright Mask or Clock Out
Jumping on spiky enemies DOES count towards "take damage at least 5 times." Swapping to Goombella might be a good idea before these fights
Superguarding DOES NOT count as an attack in the event of "don't attack for the first three turns" or “do not let Mario attack”
If you're ever running from a fight for any reason, make sure that you fulfill the condition BEFORE running, or else you will drop a rank and need to refight your last opponents
It's not too common, but the fight order can vary
Listed below are the standard strats, you must adapt to conditions if necessary
