==== Byakko ====
There's a chance of getting a Silver Flame. It is completely random and the Silver Flame is Maria's highest damage spell. Getting a lucky Silver Flame can save a few seconds.
==== Genbuu ====
Healing spell. Useful only at beginner level.
==== Suzaku ====
Familiar spell. Used once in the run
==== Seryuu ====
Dragon spell. Can be used instead of Four Beasts against some bosses if you're more comfortable with this input.

The fastest strategy here is to use Maria's level 3 fireball and chain slides. Keep in mind that this does make this section more RNG-heavy though. For a more conservative strategy, simply do Flying Kicks buffering them whenever you can.
Once again, level 3 fireball and slides are the fastest strat, but it's more RNG-heavy. You can use the book to give yourself a little bit of extra protection
==== Alchemy Lab ====
* [https://youtu.be/v9sppDUr0Tc Screen 1]: If doing the dive kick into diagonal uppercut is too difficult, you can set up the uppercut by just doing 4 slides.
==== Marble Gallery ====
Clock rush is slightly different in the Saturn version because it utilizes the system clock.
==== Olrox's Quarters ====
Buffer the Axe throw to reduce landing recovery
==== Royal Chapel ====
Careful not to go past the Book. Make sure to end the Front Kick early by holding the opposite direction.

Your goal is to simply make it all the way to the right and take the portal back to Entrance. What you need to watch out here is that you don't get any other subweapons so be careful not to get the Diamond accidentally. Sometimes the Axe Lords will drop an Axe subweapon and you'll instantly pick it up, if that happens, go back immediately and get the book.
==== Underground Garden ====It might be faster to use Four Beasts when you enter the boss room, but this hasn't been tested yet. ==== Clock Tower ====This is one of the more complicated sections to do optimally, but thankfully there are safer alternatives. ==== Outer Wall ====You can use run buffers, backdashes or even dive kicks. ==== Library ====You can do big fireball for slightly faster time ==== Catacombs ====Four Beasts is a viable beginner-friendly strat here. === 2nd Castle === ==== Darkwing's Lair ==== ==== Inverted Chapel ====My setup for the OoB: https://youtu.be/wo4GnRjZ6XA
