Was wondering what is the fastest 120 route out currently? I use the route Sig created that made everyone switch a long time and I see now like 30 other routes created. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure, but akikan made a bunch of 120 route comparison vids on his youtube

Any basement early route is going to save roughly 8 seconds over the old ones. BoB instead of CCM as your last lobby stage before basement is faster. HMC first in basement instead of SSL is faster if you do the akikan mips grab.

That's all the little stuff I'm aware of. The big thing is basement early though.

I'm calling it now, the next big thing is upstairs early.

i agree with the lool

I almost forgot about this thx for the help!

basement early is good and fun

I made my own route for 120 Star while I was about to do 120 star for the first time.
Now I did a few runs and I think it's time to change the route, new splits maybe.

So, what do you think about Siglemic's route used in the 1:43:54 video? There aren't splits but I can make them.
I don't know what the best route is currently. Also I have no clue what's fast or not, since I made my own 120 route that was easy to make because ofcourse you get every star in the game so I made it not so confusing for myself.
I also didn't want to take someone's route for my first run.

But now I know more now that I did a few more runs with my route. So it's time for a change.
And ofcourse I want to save those free easy seconds that are even hidden in the castle!

Hope you guys can help me getting a good route.

Thanks in advance.

speedruntrainer use one of these routes:

wf29: wf late and basement early: http://gyazo.com/9466d5fb3c9e5d7ee16e9eb3c2f64357
dragorn: http://gyazo.com/95a11381d52a1f7bfab38a295ee93491
bebop route: wf first basement early: http://gyazo.com/94e06de9f8bf80580be4e0187816be63

of course there are way more routes, everyone has their own little variation, but I think these are the most common
