Why not have them all

Become a true master with Ominpotence! Boasting the ability to take all type shortcuts, every stage will completely open up to you. Despite having less than stellar stas, omnipotence gets a bonus from using alternating type shortcuts, some extra speed from dash panels, and the obvious boon of the best routing from each type.
