WORK IN PROGRESS -- WILL BE DONE SOON

Created by AndyPerfect

This is a fairly beginner route with lots of explanations of paths to take through dungeons, items to pick up, equipment management, and strategies for fights. There are several different options throughout the run to take depending on how you want to handle the run. There are differing opinions as to which transformation is best to stick with for Karn, which equipment paths to follow, how many mrbl1's to buy, and so on. This guide will follow one of those paths. I will eventually create a different page that will outline the different schools of thought for different areas of the game. There is no singular "best route" or "most risky" route or anything like that. This run is still evolving in small ways and will likely improve from this point.

Additionally, you can save time throughout the run by using Mrbl3's before they run out so as to not have to watch that text each time. It may not seem significant, but each time you don't have to watch the text, you save ~1 second. We're using more than 125 mrbl 3's throughout the run. That's 2 minutes of time save alone. This guide, though, will not cover where best to use those as that is entering advanced strategies and I will try to cover those in another page.

First Dragon

  1. Make a new game, with Ryu's name empty. For button assignments, I use the following:
    1. Y: Equip
    2. X: Items

    4. R: Change
  2. Watch the cutscene, then pick up the chest for 300g
