LittleBigPlanet/Any% No Overlord TAS Ideas

This page collects strategy ideas for a TAS of Any% No Overlord. It only contains strategies that can be done with a single player/controller. Obvious things like movement optimization or edge jumps are not included, nor are strats that are done in the IL WR.

IL runs that skip entire levels using deloads are not considered here, since there's nothing you could write down about that.
