Any general game mechanic advice you could pass on to help me route the GB version? or glitches to test? I know the games are different but there must be certain mechanics that stay the same that you've already optimized, right?

Starting from scratch is rough but a challenge I'm willing to accept! XD

OH cool! just found out that you can put Kewne away in the bag as soon as you get into the tower and it skips the tutorial! Nice!
