Super Mario 3D Land any% Breakdown

Hey, since after AGDQ people are interested in speedrunning this game, I decided to try and make it as easy as possible to learn by making multiple breakdowns of levels, i'm going to make them known here

Updated Star Medal Guide: Any% / Warpless [optimal routes]

Since both of the routes posted in here are rather outdated by now, I decided to post more up-to-date routes here. So here's that :)

Keep in mind these routes consider top level strats, including things like box jump for 3-4 3rd medal and blind 7-Ship (which skips the level's 2nd medal). If you're just starting out or you're not comfortable enough with doing these strats in full runs, find other medals that suit your skill level more.
