	[big]__**[File Select]**__[/big]
	
		- When starting the game, you can skip the Levande Böcker intro by clicking immediately after it begins. Clicking more than once will insta-start a new game, which is bad since you dont get the cursor lineup. So only **click once**.

		- If you're using the AHK script, press **F5** or **F9** on the file select menu

		- Put the cursor where the Junkyard door will be once the game starts

		- Press Enter to start. __**Timing starts here**__

	?????????????????????????????????????

	[big]__**[Build 1]**__[/big]

		- Mash click though cutscene into Junkyard, get the parts:
		
		__**Junkyard**__
			
			 *(Close to cursor)*
			- Wheels

			- Left Arrow
			
			- One  Cylinder Two-Stroke Engine
			- Red Tank

			- Left Arrow

			*(Close to cursor)*
			- Big Engine
			- White Tank

			- Left Arrow x2
			*(You can do these two very fast)*

			- Steering Wheel

			- Left Arrow

			*(Close to cursor)*
			- Seat
			- Wheels

			- Go to Workshop

		__**Workshop**__

			- Mount all parts, but __**only one tank**__

			*(Not sure if one tank is smaller than the other yet, **smallest would be best** for Build 1)*

			- Click big door to launch car ? **[Split Build 1]**

			- On transition screen, **Alt-Tab** to skip voice line. Spam click where the road will be to put you on the overworld and also click past the driving tutorial

	?????????????????????????????????????

	[big]__**[Build 2]**__[/big]
		
		__**Travel**__

			- Drive towards Megaphone ?  *West-North-West-North-West*
			- Skip refueling by sticking to the left side of the road

			- When gas runs out, open Toolbox > Diploma > Exit. This triggers **Diploma Glitch* and you now have an overpowered car

			[big]Diploma Glitch[/big]

			- This glitch is required to get past the mud, so you must run out of fuel before. See [Routing Notes Section](#ch3RoutingNotes)

				- For some, exiting the diploma will make a script error pop up. Be ready to press Enter (or Q if you're using my AHK script) and drive right after

				- This glitch has other uses, such as teleporting. It hasn't been fully explored yet.

			[/quote]
		
			- Hope that dog / stuck car encounter doesn't happen
			- If they do, use Alt-Tab to skip 
		
			- You can't interact with an encounter if a voice line is playing. If the stuck car encounter happens you have to **Alt-Tab** after entering the mud, before touching the stuck car. Otherwise, just **Alt-Tab** at the screen with the megaphone

			- Get Megaphone, **Alt-Tab** to skip cutscene

			- Toolbox > Go Home

		__**Workshop**__

			- Drag big parabola thing to Junkyard door (small mouse movement), click after to enter Junkyard

		__**Junkyard**__
	
			- The big engine will be on a random screen, hopefully it's on the first one
			- Get big engine, go back to Workshop

		__**Workshop**__
			
			- Mount fuel tank and big engine
			- Tap bell to make it fall off
			- Click small door to enter driveway

		__**Driveway**__
		
			- Drag Megaphone to big door, click again to enter Workshop

		__**Workshop**__

			- Mount Megaphone
			- Click big door to launch car ?  **[Split Build 2]**
			- On transition screen, **Alt-Tab** and spam click where the road will be to skip voice line and get to driving quickly

	?????????????????????????????????????

[big]__**[End]**__[/big]
		
	- Drive towards end
	- Once you start refueling, **Alt-Tab** to gain control immediately
	- Hope for no fallen tree encounter
	- Reach the sea, **Alt-Tab** to skip voice line.

? **[Split End]** on sea cutscene ?
	





#Routing Notes

	[center]

	- The route in this guide (getting red tank + small engine) was timed after my 1:44 run and should optimally be slightly faster + easier driving, but loses a bit more time if bad RNG on the big engine

	- It is possible to skip the refuel on the way to the end + using diploma which should be 1-2s faster since you don't lose momentum + better line. Seems very precise

	- The big engine location seems like it might not actually be completely random. Need to look for patterns

	[big]**Small Engine Skip**[/big]

	Bad route 

	[quote]

		This is an alternate route for Build 1 which is slightly less punishing bad RNG. Barely saves time on Junkyard + workshop, loses time on driving because the car runs out of fuel slower

		- Mouse will be fairly close to arrow on that Junkyard screen w/ Small Engine + Red Tank, skipping it very quickly

		- Other than that, you still have to pick up the Red Tank in Build 2 so that timesave cancels out

		**Get**

			+~0.9s		Get Small Engine + Red Tank ? Build 1, Junkyard
			+~0.3s		Mount Small Engine ? Build 1, Workshop
	
			-~39s*		Travel ? Faster, easier driving*

			Net: ~40.2s

			* Needs more exact retime

		**Skip**

			+0.5s		Get Red Tank + screens 1,2 ? Build 2, Junkyard
			+~43.5s*		Travel ? Slow driving, snaking*

			* Needs more exact retime

			- You have to go past screen 1 and 2 into 3 on the Junkyard in Build 2 to get the Red Tank, and since you have to look for the Big Engine anyway you get 3 free screen checks
 
			- You can snake your car on the way to Megaphone without bumping anything so you run out fuel before the mud even without the Small Engine, but it's difficult

	**Travel**

	[quote]
		Small bump		+~0.5s
		Full momentum loss	+~2.5s
		Encounter		+~3s*
	[/quote]

#Setup

	- Files from disk extracted to PC
	- Disk in drive ? Prevent open file dialog at start of game for AHK script quick restart
	
	**Mulle32.exe / Bygg Bilar Med Mulle Meck.exe**

		- [Compability] Run in reduced color mode, 8-bit (256) color ?		Makes game start without color error

	**[My AHK Script](https://www.speedrun.com/tools/MulleAHK_8ba03.zip)** / **[AutoHotkey](https://autohotkey.com/download/)**
			
		__You'll probably want to edit the script file__

		- [Rebind] WASD Movement ? Keeps hand close to **Alt-Tab** for cutscene skips
		- [Rebind] E instead of Enter ? Keeps hand close to WASD for moving quickly out of diploma (only needed if you get .xml error in diploma like me)

		- [F5] On file select menu, clear 1 game slot + enter filename ? Convenient for grinding
		- [F9] On file select menu, clear 1 game slot  ? In case you have more slots to clear

		- [F12] Quick kill task + restart via DXWnd ?	 Basically required


	**[DXWnd](https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/)**

		- [Main] Run in window
		- [Main] Windows initial position & size (W: 800 H: 600)
		- [Video] Emulate Win Maximize ? Setting window position doesn't seem to work without this
		- [Input] Check "Swallow mouse move messages" (bottom left) ? Can't click in game without this
		- [Input] Uncheck "Correct mouse position" (top of same list)

Installing the game on Windows 10

The game's installer is 16-bit, so modern systems won't let you install it. However, the game itself is 32-bit so it does run is you do the installation manually. The following method has worked on multiple PCs and operating systems.

1. Make a folder (eg. "C:\MasaMainio")
2. Navigate to Mulle Meck CD path, copy everything over from there to the folder you just created
3. Move all files from folders Data and Movies into the installation folder root.
4. Open MASA32.EXE (or your regional equivalent)
