Welcome to the warp guide!
Warps are an essential part of Soot any% speedrunning, so make sure to know them well! Below is a list of all the useful warps for any%, you might notice that some of the warps are in levels that you skip past using the warps. This is because warps not only put you 5 levels forward, but also unlock all the levels you've skipped with them. To make optimal use of the warps you'll have to go back to level select a couple of times and go to previous levels that have warps in them (this strat is known as the Ziggy Method™). To achieve this simply press the spacebar after performing the warp and go to level select by either pressing the "a key on your keyboard" or pressing the "big green play button". I advice using the A button since it's a lot more consistent.
Warp Level 9 to 14
Warp Level 13 to 18
Warp Level 14 to 19

Warp Level 21 to 26
Warp Level 26 to 31
Warp Level 28 to 33
Warp Level 32 to 37
Warp Level 35 to 40

X=Spawn W=Warp
Warp Level 40 to 45
Map:
X=Spawn W=Warp
Warp Level 44 to 49
All the warps from level 46 and on are not mentioned in this guide since they softlock your game. Warps put you five levels forward and Soot has 50 total levels so these warps will put you past that. Since there are no levels past 50 the game will play a cutscene that you can't exit out of, thus softlocking you.
(currently there are possibly still undiscovered warps in the game that could be useful for any%, once they'll be discovered the guide will be updated)
Soot's developer GartekStudios is running a speedrunning contest with cash prizes. First and second fastest time at the end of February get 50$ and 25$ respectively and everyone with a sub 30 time gets in a pool for 25$ (all CAD).
