Category Details

If Left+Right is allowed, this category is significantly easier, with the main obstacle being the spark suit generation at Mt. Everest, as seen in the TAS.
Note by converting the resultant spark suit into a blue suit with a crystal spark, Left+Right is arguably not needed. However, to complete the category without the use of Left+Right would require extensive single-wall underwater walljumping without Hi-Jump Boots, specifically Fish Tank Climb without L+R walljumping. The WR run avoids any use of L+R, making it the hardest category ever completed by a human.

- Mockball
