Oh, I just remembered a trick, it may be 100% only, and maybe only for segmented runs as it's fairly hard to do, I did it on accident once (and it's the only time I did it):
If you have access to the "final level" BMX, you can break the mission Stronghold Assault. It can let you do the following:
1. It lets you jump over the fences into the area leading to the observatory, no need to fight Thad for the keycode. (I think it even allows you to skip talking to Fatty)
2. You can safely ignore everything en-route to the Observatory, you're traveling fast enough for nothing to be a threat.
3. (This is the part I only did once), it allowed me to get to the potato gun so fast I wasn't very disturbed by the nerds when breaking down the doors.

This is pretty cool. This idea is really good and would help a lot, hopefully by that time in the game I would have completed shop 5. I feel like that mission is too early in the game though for me to have Shop 5 done in the most optimized route though. I don't know though and it is possible to have it. Also, this bike jumps very high, much higher than any other bike, and it probably could be used to speed up a few other missions to. I'll have to look into and this will be on my mind. But what I would need to find out first is when I would have shop 5 done. And I didn't plan on working on 100% for awhile. I've been working on All Missions% routing today, and have decided that The Big Prank should be done for All Missions since IT IS a yellow star mission, even though it is the most optional mission. Small Offenses to, even though this mission is just a cutscene/mission added in Scholarship Edition. It will be done during Carnival Date. I plan on playing more tonight, and may have some All Mission route plans up within the next few days. Maybe tomorrow. Tonight? Idk. Thanks for always checking back and posting Warepire.
EDIT - Oh and you can skip talking to Fatty anyways, we do it in the Any% route. It's a nice minor sequence break you could say.
