The first line of text should be the name of your route.

After that, each line of text should be one of the following:

A level, such as Good Egg 1, or Honeyhive Comet, or Bowser's Star Reactor.

• You can use the galaxy name and star number, the star name, or both with a - separator. So for Good Egg 1, you can put Good Egg 1, Dino Piranha, or Good Egg 1 - Dino Piranha.
• The galaxy name + star number for Good Egg's speedy comet is either Good Egg C, Good Egg Comet, or Good Egg 4.
• For the purple comet, it can be Good Egg P, Good Egg purples, Good Egg purple coins, Good Egg purple comet, or Good Egg 5.
• Other accepted level endings are H, Hidden, Hidden Star, S, Secret, Secret Star, L, Luigi, Luigi Star, G, Green, and Green Star.
• You can put the star number (of the entire route) at the start of a level line, like 9. Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor or 9) Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor. Your star number will simply be ignored, since the route processor figures out the star number.
• You can put a parenthesized comment at the end of a level or action line, like this: Battlerock H (star 2's hidden star)
• Recognition of levels and actions is not case sensitive.

An action, such as > Feed Terrace Hungry Luma, or > Talk to Luigi at Garage.

• Actions are route items that the player must initiate themselves. The cutscene after returning a Grand Star is not an action, because it happens automatically after a previous route item (such as Bowser's Star Reactor).
• To denote an action, put a > character at the start of a line.
• Here are the available actions:

A comment. Put a * character at the start of a line to make it a comment. Comments are just notes for a person reading the route; they are not used for route processing.
