How to Route Collectibles Efficiently Within the Time Limit

This isn't a repeat of the Overview page -- it's a practical look at planning efficient routes and building movement mastery.

Learn a Stage in Segments, Not All at Once

Since 19 mastery stages run just 30-128 seconds with strict countdowns, break each stage into smaller chunks to master individually rather than trying to memorize the entire route in one attempt.

Plan Your Collectible Route Before Speed-Running

Since mandatory collectibles are confirmed as required for unlocking the goal, map out an efficient path to each one before focusing purely on shaving time -- a fast run that misses a collectible doesn't count.

Drill Individual Movement Tools

Since jump, double jump, wall jump, dash, sprint, and charged jump are all confirmed as distinct precision mechanics, practice each one in isolation on a stage before attempting to chain them together under time pressure.

Use Medals as a Genuine Progress Marker

Since medals are confirmed to unlock optional upgrades based on performance, treat medal-chasing as a real secondary goal alongside simply clearing stages -- it's confirmed as a meaningful part of the skill-based progression system.
