Just updated the USA route, not sure how it will affect your guide, but a submission will happen tomorrow, and the doc will update after that.

Just want some clarification on what is necessary before I start routing this category.

1. Is collection required? 1a. Is collection required before end of game (besides Grandiose Diorama)? 1b. How would the "Medal of Completion" work (unsure if you can get it before credits)? 1b. How would this be verified in either case of 1a?
2. Why are minigames required to be complete before end of game? 2a. When would this be verified?
3. Are the Layton Challenges required (Puzzles 136-150)? 3a. When would time end for this category? 3b. Since there is no way to skip the credits/epilogue cutscene, will time be running all through credits/cutscene until the challenges begin?

Welcome to Fossil Fighters. This game is best described as a combination of Pokemon and Digimon, but it is so much more. I am working on making guides for any% and 99%/100%. Comment anything you'd like to know or any glitches you can find.
