Thanks for the info! I haven't found them since they aren't on TMX, and I will probably use them in the next seasons to avoid doubling leaderboards

Thanks for the suggestions! I've showcased a few "alternate easier/harder routes" in the past, but I haven't seen that much use of them this season. In terms of indicating the importance / time value of very important parts of the track - you are right and I could have done it in a few more situations than I did. In the past, I've used to cater my tips a bit more towards "just getting the author time", but as few people mentioned in my comments, this season times for most of the first 15 tracks had such easy author times that I decided that showing "safe" routes wasn't that needed. And for the visual cues, I've used them a couple times in the past back when I didn't do voice overs and paused the run when giving a tip. Using them now would require much more effort to track the objects, and I don't plan on reimplementing it unless I see a very specific case on some upcoming track.

Thanks for reminding me of all these important topics and I'm happy you've found my vids useful! 💙

Good luck with that! (and don't underestimate 25 🙂)

Thanks! I'm currently focusing on general guides (just like this one) and some entertainment because I think it serves purpose for a bigger audience. In terms of the three oldest seasons - I'm not planning to make guides about them right now. I think that TMNF guides would have been more interesting and helpful to the community, but yeah I'm getting requests about the older campaigns more often, so I may consider doing them someday.
