My channel contains a mixture of beginner methods and Crazy Planet Cube tutorials. All of the sequences that I use for the Crazy Planet Cubes are explained in more detail in the beginner methods, which have been designed to compliment the Planet Cube tutorials. Particularly my Edges First method, which gives a deeper understanding of the sequences that I use (don't be put off by the title `beginner method`, there are some gems in there).

Have a look how I execute the same sequences in my Edges First Example Solve. This erganomic change is explained thoroughly, along with some more efficient corner sequences, in my Edges First `Pure` method.

What I tried to do with my Crazy Planet tutorials was to explain both the `Circle Corners Last` (CCL) and `Reduction` methods. So that the user could choose their preferred method.

Jupiter with the reduction method is not much harder than a supercube, if you have been doing picture cubes or number cubes, give this a crack, you'll love it. Uranus with reduction method adds a little twist to Jupiter. These two planets are easily achievable for supercube solvers. They both reduce to a standard 3x3x3 cube, albeit bandaged, and are a good challenge.

Mercury reduces to a Standard Circle Cube (or Supercube) and is an interesting solve with reduction. These 2 types of reduction form the basis for the rest of my reduction methods, and probably should be attempted first. I think that Neptune offers the opportunity for a very interesting solve where I have used a combination of both types.

Using the CCL method is demonstrated in the Earth tutorial. The alternative ending uses `pure commutators` with setup moves to move the `inside circle corners` around [after] the `outside corners` are solved. The CCL method can be used with all of the planets if you prefer it. I have made a table that demonstrates how the same sequence works on all of the planets:

The diagrams are showing the U face.
The commutator is:(RU' L'U R'U' LU) y' (L'U RU' LU R'U') y (Saturn looks difficult, but in the end game you can work it as a 3 cycle if you prioritize filling in 3 U layer circle corners)
Venus: (R U' L' U R' U' L U) [M] y' (L' U R U' L U R' U') y [M']
