6 checkpoints / 1 map alternatives
The mapped layout contains 6 mandatory checkpoint locations and 1 alternate graph lines. No alternative is automatically the fastest. Review the 2D or 3D course map to identify its entrance, legal rejoin and next checkpoint. Then compare two clean attempts in the same event version.
IDS has not independently driven and timed every alternate route. We avoid invented turns, confirmed-shortcut labels, or fake screenshots. For first-hand player reports, see the shortcut evidence desk.
