Route Information

Naturally your route depends on the category

• Any% - Beat the game (at the time of writing, this assumes All Stages) regardless of the number of items collected
• 100% - Beat the game collecting 8 Heart Tanks, 4 sub tanks, all 4 armor upgrades (boots, helmet, buster, chest-plate), and the Hadoken

Any%

Almost all routes start with Penguin to get the boots so you can dash.

The record any% route from here is low%. It goes to Kwanger second, then follows weakness order from there

100%

100% route starts with Penguin, and has variants based on skill level and how early you want to acquire items.

Kwanger Second

Eagle Second

Eagle Second is a strong beginner route
