Happy to get record for this category. Made a ton of mistakes and still getting used to running 100% again. This time will go lower for sure and this is the start of great things for this game now that it's on the Switch.
For 100%, yes. In the original, there were only specific things that made the E. Gadd lab cutscene unskippable when returning from a level, but in LM2HD it's everything. Exiting the game via the home menu saves roughly 15-20 seconds per time over sitting through the unskippable cutscene. I believe there's only one level in the whole 100% run that I don't have to home menu reset on.
Sometimes it's a choice to get a gold bar from it. The blue gauge on one ghost gives three coins, green gives a gold bar, and red gives three gold bars. Multiple ghosts with those gauges can also yield more money so I do intentionally charge the gauge all the way up as well on certain ghost sets since I need to hit 20k gold during the run.
@@rivercook8212 I know about a rough estimate. There’s a document made by one of the community members that details the math going into the star rankings and the estimates needed to reach the targets. That said this category doesn’t actually require 3 star rankings on every mission and is more so of an “all collectibles” category. If you’re interested in the document I’d be more than happy to share it.
I will definitely be doing another 100% run soon. I've been working on tightening up my strats and the run as a whole for the past couple weeks. I aim to get a big PB when I do this next run.
It went out of bounds, it happens sometimes in Dark Moon too. I was a little bummed to have it happen here, but I'm guessing I'll figure out how to avoid that in the future.
