Your goal at this point is to begin incorporating more efficient techniques into your runs. It is NOT advisable to jump to immediately adding all of the top-level techniques all at once and try to execute those, as you will likely just wind up with a long stream of failed runs. Rather, at the start of each session of runs, have a technique that is new to you or that you are still mastering that you will focus on incorporating into your runs. It is best to prioritize adding those techniques that are easiest for you to learn and can deliver the largest time saves when executed. At the moment, there is no exhaustive list of techniques organized by their difficulty or time save potential, but the following improvements are easy enough to learn and can produce time saves of a minute or more when learned: * Learn basic Shield Dashing (focus on slow and consistent)* Tighten your jumps so that you are not floating in the air too much longer than is necessary to clear gaps* Swap Shield Rod Route for Duplicator Route* Learn Wing Smashing and, if possible, how to chain your Wing Smashes together during longer sections The following techniques are neither easy to learn/master nor do they produce large enough time saves to be worthwhile for beginners, so avoid learning them too early and focus on other improvements first. Suggested personal best times have been listed as a recommendation before learning these techniques: * Experience Route (17:59 or faster)* Library Floor Clip (17:09 or faster) TODO: Describe adding Finish describing how to add new strategies to your runs as you improve
