    - NOTE: For A presses after ledgejumps, avoid pressing A until the player hop animation is between the ledge tile and the grass tile; pressing A too early will make it fail to register when you land on the grass tile.

Notes:
    - Call Mom (and give Berry) on the S&Q menu before Don manip
    - Step Count for this manip assumes both the FDFF/DECF Toto manip and r29 manips were used.
    - It is expected that the in-game clock will always display 10:1x after the S&Q for this manip.

*NOTE TO SELF*: Removing the 2nd A press (while 1 tile above Don) changes RNG and is still 299/300 for the Don pass; routing paths without the A press could yield potential improvements.

* SIMPLER EXPLANATION FOR NPC CUES *

  - f14 is fully discernible from f13, including the IGTs. There is one common IGT (3/60) on f14 with a slower r->d->r->d->r pattern. An r->d->l pattern where the first two switches are instantaneous covers the remaining f14 IGTs (3/60). The r->d->l pattern with slightly more delay between the switches is the f12 IGT (2/60). Any other pattern that starts with r is f13.
