Hello, I am a new 16 Star runner. Although I haven't uploaded any times yet, since I haven't recorded any of my runs, my PB is a 21:45 on emulator.

Here is the link to my splits: https://splits.io/1lkt

I was wondering what some good times would be to shoot for in each segment since there aren't really any sources or guides for that, and whether there are any things I should start learning to improve my times. I go for Lakitu Skip and Bomb Clip and get each about 50% of the time. I use the setup for Cannonless and go for Shoot Into the Wild Blue if I miss it on the first try, and normally can get it in one or two tries. I don't go for BitDW Reds yet. I am debating learning Pillarless, but I'm not sure whether or not I should yet, and if so, which star to remove from the route. I do A-maze-ing Emergency Exit by going up the right-hand side and long jumping across, and I use the Elevator Skip method to reach Beast in the Cavern. The rest of the run is fairly standard, even though my Mips Clip and BLJs sucked in my PB.

My current route (With stars shown by split): 1 BOB (1) Stars: Clippy 2 WF (6) Stars: Whomp, Cannonless, Shoot Into the Wild Blue, Top of the Fortress, Cage (With Owl) 3 CCM (9) Stars: Penguin, Slide, Wall Kicks 4 BitDW (Without Reds) 5 SSL (10) Stars: Atop the Pyramid 6 LLL (11) Stars: Reds 7 HMC (15) Stars: A-maze-ing Emergency Exit, Toad, Beast (Using Elevator Skip), Watch for Rolling Rocks 8 DDD (16) Stars: Sub 9 BitFS 10 BLJs (From the fade out from BitFS to the fade in into BitS) 11 BitS

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out with this. My goal is to at least reach sub-20 and then move on to 70 Star, but for now, I want to improve as much as I can in 16 Star.

Why are you doing CCM slide instead of talon star? You're losing ~10 seconds for no reason at all.
