+A "check" is performed when the player goes through a dungeon, fights a boss, speaks to an NPC, or performs any other action that will grant them an item, a character, or other progress. Checks are typically done until the player enters "[[go_modes|Go Mode]]" at which point the focus of the run will switch to pursuing the end of the game.
 ====== Key Item Checks ======
-These are actions you can complete to gather Key Items. A few are available from the start of the game and more will be unlocked as Items and Characters are accrued. Differences for Lost Worlds are notated where necessary.

 Once you have access to 65,000,000 BC, enter the Dactyl Nest. Make your way to the summit and you will encounter another character. You will be forced to enter at least one encounter, which can cause a lot of damage at low levels, so it's recommended to enter Dactyl Nest with a party of three to greatly reduce the chance of a Game Over.

+====== Other Checks ======
+===== Unlocking Future Access =====
+**Era**: 1000 AD\\
+Once you have found the Pendant, bring it to Guardia Castle and speak to Pierre (near the door to the left of the stairs). He will ask that you come for a trial for stealing the Pendant. Tell him "yes" to start the jailbreak sequence (in vanilla you are allowed to wait to be rescued; in Jets of Time you must break out of your cell). After defeating Dragon Tank, you'll have access to 2300 AD.
+In addition, freeing Fritz from the guillotine during this sequence will allow you to visit his shop and get 10 free Mid Ethers, but only if Crono is in the party.
+  * Requires Pendant
+===== Factory =====
+**Era**: 2300 AD\\
+Complete the Factory to unlock access to the End of Time via the Gate in the back of Proto Dome. This is not considered as fast as gaining End of Time access via the Gate Key, but can be a boon when the Gate Key is particularly buried. Because it unlocks End of Time, access to 12,000 BC/Mt. Woe is also granted. It is unlikely - but not impossible - for the Factory to be a required part of a seed.
+  * Requires Future access via Pendant
+\\
+====== Unlocking Magic ======
+**Era:** End of Time\\
+Many standard game modes require the player to visit Spekkio at the End of Time to unlock magic, as in the vanilla game. If magic is not unlocked, Crono, Marle, Lucca, and Frog will only learn 3 techniques and after that must visit Spekkio to be able to earn more TP and learn moves. If one of these characters doesn't already know their first 3 techs, a visit to Spekkio will automatically make them learn the techs. To unlock magic, simply visit Spekkio in his room at the End of Time with the desired characters. If you want another character to learn magic later, you will have to return with them in your party.
+  * Requires End of Time access via Gate Key, Factory, or the gate in the cave in 12,000 BC
