Q | What is NLE?
A | No Levels Early

Q | Ok, what is No Levels Early?
A | Simply put:
- You have to pay a B-Locker the GBs it requires before you enter a Level
- You have to turn in the required keys before entering a Level Lobby
- You have to defeat all Bosses which give Keys (Army Dillo 1&2, Dogadon 1&2, Mad Jack, Pufftoss & King Kut Out)
- You have to defeat K Rool
- No Golden Banana Duping
- No Gameshark
- No Cheats via the 20 Fairy Menu
- You can Wrong Kong GB Grab
- You can Wrong Kong Blueprint Grab

Q | What is a B-Locker?
A | The guy who blocks the DK Portal to enter a Level

Q | Banana Duping?
A | Whilst that isn't really related to NLE, I'll briefly explain it as the game not storing a specific Golden Banana's collection. Therefore you can collect them as many times as you want to increment your GB Counter (It should be noted that whilst you can collect more than 7GBs for 1 Kong in 1 level, when next enter the game, your GB Counter will be taken as the mod(8) of that number). You can collect these Bananas once in NLE, but collecting them more than once is banned.

Q | But you enter Boss fights at the start of the game, doesn't that count as entering the levels early? (Eg. Entering Dogadon 2 without Opening Fungi Forest)
A | We discovered that entering Dogadon 2 is a different map to any area of Fungi Forest (This applies to all Bosses). So if you enter the boss (via a trick called Flashback Warp), it doesn't count as entering the level. This is backed up by the fact that Fungi Forest would not appear if you went into the Levels Summary Screen of the Pause Menu.

Q | Cool. I want to learn this category. Where can I find some resources?
A | We have an NLE resource document (bombch.us/CI19), along with a community discord (On speedrun.com/dk64/resources).
