This is the first race seed where all available chests were found. Even when I did the async seeds to learn the settings, none of them produced a seed that I ended up unwittingly full clearing. This is the first time that actually has happened. Most of this occurred as a result of one item: the Petal. This is one of a 3-set of items (alongside the Horn and the Gems) which are needed to trigger the volcano eruption.

In the case of a randomizer, those 3 items are the only way you can gain access to W6, The West Crater. The eruption in vanilla also unlocks E4, The Colossal Hole. However, in a randomizer it is much more common to unlock E4 by obtaining the Torch since the Torch connects the North and East sections of the map. To unlock E4 the other way, you need to trigger the eruption, while having access to E2 via the connection with E1. That is done by having access to the connection between the North and West sections (the 2 Keystones), the connection between the West and South sections (the 2 Cogwheels), the connection between the South and East sections (the Mist Fan), and then the Freeze Spell and Freeze Cane to connect E1 and E2. Needless to say, the Torch is far more likely to occur than all of that since it's merely 1 item, and opposed to 7.

In a WL3 Rando, your objective is to get the 5 music boxes, the golden glove, and either pair of overalls, then beat the final boss as fast as possible. The treasures are always randomized, so each seed will play differently, and the settings you choose can enhance that experience. The speedrun category is Any%, so you do not need to get every chest. Other progression items will be necessary of course in order to reach those chests, but the aforementioned items are what you need to finish the game.

Settings used:
* Key Shuffle: The Keys and the Music coins within each stage are shuffled. Example: you could find the Grey Key for N5 near where the Red Chest is.
* Music Boxes Anywhere: The Music Boxes can be located in any chest, and are not restricted to only the bosses.
# = Difficulty is set to normal mode. This is the standard difficulty, which uses tricks that you'd normally do in normal gameplay as the logic. Tricks such as bouncing off of an air born enemy that you threw are out of logic. Tricks that use glitches are also out of logic. They can still be used, but they may not be progression.

Other possible race settings that are not used in this race:
* Map Shuffle: The maps throughout the game are shuffled, besides The Temple. Example: you could find The Tidal Coast (N5) to be located where N1 normally is.
- Powerful Start: You automatically receive 3 random powerups immediately. Chests that would've contained these power ups are taken out of play.
* Open Mode: You automatically receive the chests and items necessary to open up the 4 parts of the map (6 total). Chests that would've contained these items are taken out of play.
* Restricted Music Boxes: The Music Boxes will only be located on the bosses.
* Golf Shuffle: The golf holes are shuffled amongst each other. This also includes the golf holes normally only found in the GAME tower, which is unlocked upon getting all the colored crayons in the base game.

QoL Settings Enabled:
* QoL Items Starter Kit: Receive the Magnifying Glass and Daylight Shifter immediately. Chests that would've contained these items are taken out of play.
* No Junk Items: This setting removes the junk chests. Chests that would've contained these items are taken out of play as if they were already gotten. Combined with the QoL Items starter kit, you will be able see what chests contain nothing.
* Temple Hints are set to Next Quest Item (strategic). This points you to where the next progressive item is. Note that these hints may guide you to a stage that you haven't unlocked yet, and they won't tell you which specific chest it is; only the stage. Note: Temple Hints are set to next item if the music boxes are restricted.
