These are the rules I'm using for "Glitchless" runs of S3K. I put glitchless in quotation marks because glitchless is impossible to define in this game, there's just way too much borderline crap. So a overrule ruleset that suits exactly what everyone wants or thinks is right on impossible to make. Instead, I'm just making my own, only for me. As such, I'm not constrained by what actually makes sense, and am instead just banning everything I want. Which is, as it turns out, basically everything. Whether I think they are glitches or not.

There's 2 criteria for the reasoning:
6-
1) The reason I'm doing these runs is I'm tiring of how broken the game is, and wanna get more gameplay out of the levels. So basically banning everything means I do more things different then the glitched levels, which is what I want.

2) I think about what people would want to see from a "glitchless" run, and I think they don't wanna see borderline shit. They wanna see nothing but what they think is 'intended'. So it makes sense.
