And here my dumbass is thinking that that was the intended solution to that shinespark puzzle. I'm now realizing that maybe I just suck at the puzzles and ended up solving them with jank.

So, I'm new to actually using this website for anything so I don't know if this is the proper way to do this. But my question is about the order of characters obtained in Wario City in the all characters route. Would it be faster to get paragoomba after Waluigi instead of right after goomba? It wouldn't be much faster but it would save a captain switch or two. Because you enter Wario Park as Donkey Kong (If i understand the route correctly) it would save having to switch to Yoshi for one recruit mission only to have to switch back to break the crates. And you are already Yoshi leaving the Waluigi recruit mission (because of the manhole cover) so it would save another captain switch there too. Sorry if this is not the right way to ask questions, I don't know where else to ask lol

Thanks. I also have another question. Is it okay if I use a WiiU instead of a wii, or does that not matter?

For N64 Bowser Castle, is the jump onto the railing allowed on the last jump to go around that building allowed? Is that considered a skip?
