Introduction
-------- Hello! Please don't forget to leave a like in case you liked this guide - it would help a lot for it not to drown and not to be lost among other guides. Big thanks in advance! -------- This guide is for 5100 version. There is a possibility to get past the signs to visit closed levels earlier. My guide is mostly an addition to this guide, where you could learn other tricks:

Appreciation
- Big thanks to speedrunners community for trick with Junkyard and reminding me about Trainyard Area and Suburbs spots.
Here is a link to their resource:

- Big thanks to @Amniocentesis from YouTube, who came up with table trick for Meat World.
Here is video I took it from:

Main Street->Library (any day)
There is shorter way to get to Library compared to guide mentioned in introduction. Use same way, but instead of walking far away use a hole near Library itself, which would be last on the left (other holes would teleport to Lucky Ganesh secret area).
Greenbelt->Napalm Factory Exterior (Monday-Wednesday)
In one of the updates rock that helped to get past a sign on Greenbelt level was patched, so the trick is simple. You need to use trash can, which stands nearby, kick it to a barricade that separates you from other level, touch trash can and jump with it, while moving forward. Due to physics you'll be able to get past a sign and visit levels as usual. I also recommend to save before doing this trick in case trash can would fly too far. To get back on Monday use any level apart from Bank/Greenbelt and RWS/Office Complex levels. With this trick you would be able to visit most of the levels.
Suburbs->Parcel Center (any day)
If you want to get to Parcel level without damage - just use one of the tables from Meat World. I recommend to save before, in case you would fall on the right side.
Suburbs->Meat World (Monday-Wednesday)
1. Don't go to entrance in Meat World. Get on a table, sit (!) and kick it towards Meat World entrance. When you would be behind wall you could jump closer to a door and it would allow to go through a door. Big thanks to @Amniocentesis from YouTube, who came up with table trick for Meat World.
2. To get to Meat World without using tables or to skip cutscene on Thursday use this way (thanks to speedrunners community for reminding me about it):
Napalm Factory Exterior->Junkyard (Thursday)
To get on Thursday to Junkyard use quick save right near gates and quick load after that. You would be teleported behind gates. To get back you would need rocket launcher or grenades (I recommend rocket launcher) and good health (or health items). Shoot below your feet or thow grenade and jump before rocket hits the ground/grenade blows in the way so you would end up on upper part of the gates. Then crouch jump to get stuck - you would be teleported behind the gates again. Thanks to speedrunners community for this trick.
Trainyard Area -> Cemetery (Tuesday)
Wanted to get to Cemetery on Tuesday for some reason? There is no scythe there, unfortunately, but there is sawed-off shotgun and there is a way. Thanks to speedrunners community for reminding me about this out of bounds area and kicking me in right direction. I recommend to save before doing it. Near Sexxoco station there is a hill. Get up on it and move in marked direction (speedurnners used hole on the right, but I can't reproduce it and get stuck under level). When you would go down, go to Trainyard Area exit to load into Cemetery, you would get stuck, but would be teleported in better place. Now you could explore level. To get out from Cemetery (it won't let you from any other area and I assume nobody tried or know how to), go to Church entrance, use bushes, then gates and arch. I recommend to save before jumping on a roof of the Church, since you may fall and get stuck. Exit via roof of the Church on the left.
Trainyard Area -> Compound (Tuesday-Thursday)
I'll show both alternative way and way back. I recommend to save before doing it. To get here you could use recommended guide or alternative way, which I remembered thanks to speedrunners community. Crouch jumping is required. To get back you need to get stuck on the left side of barriers without jumping on it. You may need few loads to make it, since it's a bit problematic to get stuck without jumping on barrier. Last screenshot shows position where you get stuck. After you get stuck, you'll be teleported back to open area. With this last one, it makes all Monday-Friday content always accessible through each day.
West Mall -> Krotchy shop backdoor area (Tuesday-Wednesday)
This area is hard to get and not very rewarding, but still I would post about it. I recommend to save before doing it. To get here you need to use ladder, which is near entrance to Krotchy shop. Kick ladder right to backdoor of Krotchy shop, then kick it in that way, so it would be on proper side like on 2 last screenshots to kick ladder through door. When you kick ladder through door kick it to fence/bars in that way, so part of ladder would be on other side too, so you could get back using it. Then crouch jump through upper part over fence/bars and you're in. To get back use ladder on other side and get stuck in fence/bars near box - you'll be teleported back to open area. Altrenatively you could get stuck in a spot on 7th screenshot, while crouch jumping.
