Any%
The goal of Any% is to beat the game as fast as possible by any means necessary. This is generally considered the best category for beginners due to its short length and high popularity.
Levels
The fastest route through the game involves warping to 4-1 using the 1-2 warp zone, then warping to 8-1 using the 4-2 warp zone.

Framerule Routing
