I almost did that with a game (payroll) but i learned about it during my first timed attempt and instantly reset.

For Mario's time machine (snes) low% i thought you had to just wait out the bonus timer but it turns out talking to NPCs makes it decrease too. My 6 hour run with 5.5 hours of downtime turned into an hour with 30 minutes worth of intense mashing.

This was me with Super Meat Boy. One of the tutorials expects you to run over a large gap:



but I ignored the giant button prompt and used speedrunner instinct to wall jump instead. It made the rest of the game a lot harder, especially this boss:


He chases me and crumbling sand pillars block my path. You'd think there's no way to outrun him without running, yet it's possible to brush up against these pillars in a way that you pass through them faster than intended. Then, with a well-timed wall jump off the right side of the pillar, you can use that speed boost to outrun the boss. Keep in mind that the level was not designed around this strategy, so it took some insanely strict jumps (often dependent on a global timer) to avoid other obstacles. I'd heard the game was hard, so I assumed this was normal and the game expected me to use exploits and grind it out for hours to beat the first boss.

I played through most of the game this way until the world 3 boss:


It's a race and sadly it's truly impossible to beat without running, not that I didn't try. There's a few walls to boost off so I held out thinking maybe there's a chance. Apparently there's a boss skip glitch so if that's possible without running we may have a new category.

TAS just doesn't do it for me. I would definitely watch a speed run of that NES gold game which featured the golden bear though.

There's a bunch of sprites I've been (pretty vocally) against honestly but the only response you ever get from the people in charge is "more choice isn't a bad thing" so whatever. But yes that chest is a bunch of crap and so are some of the other ones.

It was kinda funny when he got the shield, though. Still a terrible sprite choice.

I'll admit that the shield did make me smile. But ugh. And then he bomb jumped!

I played as the chest exactly once and never again specifically because I could not bomb jump even in Skull Woods, the easiest of bomb jumps.

This is why you learn the setups with shadows and sword or shield.

People aren't forced to play as any custom sprites so I don't really understand what's there to be against them. Although admittedly refusing to have fun is always a noble goal in fast videogames.

Shadows would be good, yeah. I learned ice palace bomb jump by number of pixels between sword and bomb, that works regardless of sprite, but lining up the sprite to the edge of the hole without falling in is what kept getting me.

It's Gary's lunchbox (the purple chest in dark world smith's house) that changes color when different mails are gotten. The sword jumps out in front of it when swung, it looks pretty funny, but really hard to line anything up with.
