Any% Route (April 2020)

Route here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EHEbLXiT8J1L6Pvrwf-J0ulhqs1XpiYHDqONsb8ro2A/edit?usp=sharing
ROUTE THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE **DREAMY DOZING SANDS SKIP**: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PQSVykYSheZGf5JbDmzIO_OOafWlfYl82P_ejLkVe3M/edit?usp=sharing (Easier route than with Dreamy Dozing skip, but a few minutes slower)
This route saves up to 40 minutes (including both skips) compared to Migu's route.

UPDATED COIN ROUTE: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRU2JpkXpyqYvfpq_vpbw32nq-Clz1kpREXm-YueprySW54uMN2sTIWcXIX8B_yoinLG5qnOxcHt1ci/pubhtml

If you follow the updated coin route (only for the route with Dreamy Dozing Skip), ignore anything regarding the coins in the Google Documents. An update will be made to include the coins.

Videos still have to be made. Will make tutorials for a couple stuff (most notably Dreamy Dozing Sands Skip).

Driftwood Shore Skip found by Yoshiabel55555.

Bowser's Dream Skip found by me. Dreamy Dozing Sands Skip was created by Lordmagecar.

Big Skip in New Bowser Castle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRs_lgSko40

Explanation: For some reason, when you walk towards a candle, you will clip through the inbounds wall.
                    Walk into the corner as shown in the video, then turn around VERY quick to not go too far away from the candle, go into the 
                    spinjump-formation and immediately press B. Luigi should be in the corner now (not shown in the video unfortunately).
                    Now "wiggle" downwards and hope you will clip through.
                    If you are up, but Luigi doesn't want to clip through as well, then you probably walked too far away from the caldle.
                    When both are OoB, just walk to the right pipe (the left one skips way less).

                    For the second skip, all you have to do is drill into the flamethrower. For some reason, Alphadream put checkpoints on the 
                    platforms. By drilling into the flamethrower you hit the checkpoint. Now fall into the lava to get behind the flamethrower.
                    Now you just repeat this two times. After getting hit by a flamethrower, either use the drill to get to the lava without hitting 
                    another checkpoint or use the spinjump, both should work.

IMPORTANT: Avoid the red marked area (not 100% exact)...
http://i.imgur.com/ZGndGUS.jpg
...when you want to fall into the lava, or you will hit the checkpoint. This can easily be avoided by using the Spinjump.

Time saved: about 50 minutes (Yes, this place it loooong)

Boss Info

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tjAlK2ClzqbU0lsDZFnTevzdTZjdFAqprqP_ZJF5YaY/edit?usp=sharing

Documentation of glitches (Written explainations and youtube playlist)

As a start to my documentation of glitches in this game, I made a document. Right now it's mostly for complicated stuff like storage and other stuff that isn't well documented/explained anywhere else. 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1APUGWfRuqh1h_7pGGzf8cS_tESJ0O20iJH7sH9Y8gdY/edit?usp=sharing
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUDe6S6yws5nGVjXm3xTdYjjxaB_rcSrP

I also want to make videos instead but for every glitch in the game (just like Really_Tall's playlist for Paper Jam) but this will have to suffice until those get made.

The best way to get me to add something to these is by asking me in the M&L Discord server (in the Dream Team Channel)
There are other ways to get to me but I might not check those as often. for example Twitter, Twitch(currently very inactive) or Discord DMs (only if we have mutual server, not accepting random friend requests)

Dozing Sands Skip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeESlhr4FWk

Explanation: After a battle (no matter if completed or flee), the game thinks you stand on the ground for a frame, allowing you to jump on                   that one frame.
To do this skip you flee, then hold the pad to the right and mash A, B, Y and X since X and Y also allow both to jump.
Since it's a 1-frame jump, it might take a few tries, but when done sucessfully, you skip the entire Dozing Sands.
IMPORTANT: before performing the skip, go downwards and go to the mole tutorial, otherwise you will not be able to proceed later on!

Time Saved: about 30 minutes

Dozing Sands Skip (ALTERNATE METHOD)

I also discovered yet another out of bounds glitch utilizing the enemy in Dozing Sands that normally you jump on and frame-perfectly time a second jump after fleeing the battle. Using that enemy, and running between up of up left and left of up left against the rocks to the left of that same area, fleeing the battle with that enemy changes Mario & Luigi's collision for just long enough for the bros to clip into it when you gain control again. This only works if you are rocking the circle pad between left of up left and up of up left along a specific part of that wall, which you can see in my video below. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y48elpm1Lg4

early Hammer in Breezy Mushrise Park

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZslYJHRDdpE

Explanation: Pretty simple Out of Bounds, you walk around the room and go to the hammer.
                     You can use this to also get to Grobot early.
                     For Grobot early, just walk down as shown here
http://i.imgur.com/SHIsF5d.gif

IMPORTANT: If you use this for Grobot early, you will need the Bros. Attacks in order to beat later bosses fast. Get the 3D Red Shell before
                     performing the Grobot early!

Time saved: about 5 minutes (Grobot early should save about 8 minutes if you remove the time needed to get 3D Red Shell)

Early Mount Pajamaja

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOwv7mZCu-g

It´s the hardest OoB in the whole Game. 

Note: I don´t know what you have to do to perform this Glitch aka get OoB. If i know more , i will update this Thing. ( If you know more about this thing message me ) 

Timesaved: Exactly it is unknown at the moment. Maybe about 40 Minutes or more.

Mushrise Park Skip

I discovered a fairly easy wall clip to get out of bounds in Mushrise Park that will allow you to go beyond the gate blocking your entry to Dozing Sands and Driftwood Shore. 

This video actually shows the process of how to perform the glitch. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aITEbcJeZAk

This video shows me actually going back in bounds behind the gate.

Neo Bowser Castle Skip

This guide leads to a video explanation of the major skips used in Neo Bowser Castle that cut it down to a mere fraction of its length. Nothing new here, just a condensed guide of everything you do in Neo Bowser Castle along with a more consistent alignment for Bowser's Dream Skip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Dza-Kv-RY

Other kind of Grobot early

https://youtu.be/Oh92n_vb9pw

Explanation: After you defeat the enemie where you get the 10th Attack piece , you go back to the point where the Video you show. Then you jump with Mario and Luigi " behind " the Block where was a Attack piece into. Now you are Out of Bounce and walk to the Bridge in the same part. Now you skipped the part where you have to go in the Underground and activate the water.


Timesave: about 5 Minutes

Somnom Tracks Skip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXoNaUHgnaE

Explanation: If you hop into the spin-formation and walk towards the wall and the save block, the game will slightly clip you into the wall.
                    Behind the inbounds wall that is only a few pixels thin, is another kind of wall (I call it the OoB wall since that kind of wall only 
                    appers in Out of Bounds areas) that allows you to clip through pretty easily.
                    By "wiggling" the pad towards the OoB wall, it should clip you through at one point.
                    Once you are through the first OoB wall, just walk up and you get to the second OoB wall. Just "wiggle" through it.
                    Now head to the top and complete the Dreamy Somnom Woods.
                    
                    After you completed the Dreamy Somnom Woods, you come to a problem. The track is not there.
                    LUCKILY there is this one ?-block just in the perfect position to clip you OoB.
                    The trick about that clip it to hop into the spin-formation just above the ?-block, and then hold straight down.
                    If done correctly, you should be just a bit in the wall. Now don't jump of Luigi immediately and just walk a bit to the left.
                    Now you should be OoB and you can just walk to the beginning. The best spot do get back inbounds is at the statue.

IMPORTANT: DON'T get into any of the pathes that the track would send you to or you will be stuck!

Time saved: about 20 minutes

Ultibed Part Skip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMI1JNgMxSE

Explanation: By entering the top of the building early, you can skip getting the Ultibed parts.
                    First, side drill into the NPC that Mario stands right into him.
                    Then, let Mario face left and mash A. 
                    After the dialogue, Mario should be in the spin jump formation and a bit in the wall.
                    In the wall, spin jump over the first invisible wall.
                    On the second invisible wall, walk up. At one point you should notice something like a little corner. Walk slowly down and try to
                    side drill. On one spot, you notice that Mario drills a bit to the right instead of straight forward. That means you are passed the 
                    second invisible wall.
                    From here, walk around the map, avoid the loading zones on the right and enter the building from the top to enter the 
                    Dreamy Wakeport early.
                    This let's you skip the entire Ultibed Parts.

Important: You WILL need the ball ability to enter Somnom Woods, means you can't skip Mt. Pajamaja and Driftwood Shore.
