Currently Optimal Any% Route
Updated 5 years ago by FaxMeAppleJuice

The general principle is to order the hearts such that you can obtain a full rage bar when it's needed without going out of the way to find enemies.

Hearts that require a full rage bar are flagged with ¤¤ for a double jump, and ¤¤¤ for a triple jump.

--Intro Collect Rock Suit Power-up

--Timberdale Three Rings Soccer Jars (build rage by juggling the three grimkins on the platform above the final jar) Top of the Tree Rock Suit Floating Platforms Sumo ¤¤Sundial Portal

--Dragonreach Jars Dragon’s Finger ¤¤¤100 Shards + Collect Air Suit Power-up Fly to the Island ¤¤¤Block Puzzle Rock Suit

--The Neverglades ¤¤¤Above the Sand Temple Inside the Sand Temple Shoot Statue's Eyes ¤¤¤Waterfall Electric Fish Jars

--Tempest Peak Manor ¤¤¤Inside the Piano ¤¤¤Lunchbox (set sundial) Sundial Portal ¤¤Top of the Clock Breakout Jars

--The Below Upside Down Jars (set sundial) ¤¤Sundial Portal (can be done without rage, but you're relying on the camera to be nice) ¤¤Top of the Volcano Pirate Ship Checkerboard Game Sumo (you should have a full bar going into this -- you can use it to save yourself if you get knocked off) ¤¤¤Stop the Beam Pirate Chest (A-X-B for GameCube version)

--Daggercrag Collect glass smashing heart from inside the monastery ¤¤¤Above the Arena Kill enemies for one-eyed dude (set sundial) ¤¤Sundial Portal Mummy Boss ¤¤¤Block Puzzle (can be done without rage, but it's several seconds slower) ¤¤¤Jars ¤¤Smash the Glass (yes, it will count twice, as long as you collect it from inside the monastery first and you're not using a memory card!)

--Summit of the Sages ¤¤Kitchen Drain (a TPM heart, but we collect it from here) ¤¤Machine Head ¤¤Demolition/Jars (without collecting any jars!) Maze ¤¤¤Water Head Six Rings

--Frostblight Mill The Princess’ Secret Slide Top of the Windmill Underground Lava Area Skydiving (good to have a full rage bar here for insurance) ¤¤¤Flipping Platforms (can be done without rage, ~20s slower) Rock Suit Snowballs

--Citadel of Shadows ¤¤Cube Puzzle (do Right Track first if you're more than ~10 rage points short of a full bar) ¤¤Right Track ¤¤Middle Track ¤¤¤Left Track Under the Entrance

--The Shadow Realm Yabu (use rage to kill one wave of the little bad guys that he sends out while lobbing fireballs at you)
