-NO LEVELS EARLY LOTAD FAQ
+MAX% MOVELESS LOTAD FAQ
 -------------------------
 
 1] What is a LOTAD?
 
-LOTAD stands for Low Optimised Tool-Assisted Demonstration. Simply put, it's a less optimised TAS which doesn't obey all the conventional rules of a TAS (Primarily the '1 input file' rule and the 'no RAM edits' rule).
+LOTAD stands for Low Optimised Tool-Assisted Demonstration. Simply put, it's a less optimised TAS which doesn't obey all the conventional rules of a TAS (Primarily the '1 input file' rule and the 'no RAM modifications' rule).
-The purpose of this LOTAD is to show what a Tool-Assisted run of 'No Levels Early' would look like, with a variety of TAS tricks, but without spending years on optimisations.

-2] Does this use Clean Cart rules?
+2] What does "Max% Moveless" entail?
 
-No. For No Levels Early, it makes more sense for it to be dirty SRAM to have the main menu features unlocked. It gets rid of several minutes of cutscenes and waiting, as well as keeping it in-line with RTA runs.
+Moveless means that you cannot acquire any of these:
-It also makes it more entertaining :)
+- Cranky Moves (3 levels of Simian Slam, 15 kong-specific moves)
 - Candy Instruments/Upgrades (5 kong-specific instruments, 2 candy upgrades, 3rd melon)
 - Funky Guns/Upgrades (5 kong-specific guns, Ammo Belt 1 & 2, Homing Ammo, Sniper Scope)
 - BFI Moves (Fairy Camera, Shockwave)
 You cannot use MMM/FWG to obtain these either (you wouldn't even be able to get ISG because clean cart rules and no way to capture fairies)
 
-By performing certain actions when entering a tag barrel (most notably letting go of Z to exit the crouch animation 2 frames before entering), you gain control of the kong whilst also having control of the tag barrel. This is called Tag Barrel Storage (Often abbreviated to 'TBS'), and it  allows for a whole host of glitches. (Quicker tags, telegrabbing, wrong kong BP collection and more!)
+You CAN complete the training barrels though as these aren't classed as moves.
-When TBS is active, unless we play our instrument, the screen is pitch black. To make sure that you can see what is going on, we turn on a camera hack (Shoutouts to Isotarge) that makes us see what is happening in-game.
+
 Max% means that we're obtaining the maximum percentage possible with those above conditions, but in this case, we're not using any duplication tricks. This is primarily because it would make the LOTAD boring to watch if Seal Race was done 35 times. (Not to be confused with getting 132%/-124% moveless. Getting 132%/-124% moveless is currently impossible, even with duplication tricks)

-4] What does No Levels Early entail?
+
 
-'No Levels Early' means that you beat the game as fast as you can, but under a few conditions:
+By performing certain actions when entering a tag barrel (most notably letting go of Z to exit the crouch animation shortly before entering the tag), you gain control of the kong whilst also having control of the tag barrel. This is called Tag Barrel Storage (Often abbreviated to 'TBS'), and it  allows for a whole host of glitches. (Quicker tags, telegrabbing, spawn snagging many GBs and more!)
-- You cannot enter a level without clearing the B-Locker first
+When TBS is active, the screen is pitch black. To make sure that you can see what is going on, we turn on a camera hack (Shoutouts to Isotarge) that makes us see what is happening in-game.
-- You cannot enter a level's lobby area without turning in the appropriate keys into K-Lumsy
+
-- You must defeat all bosses (Army Dillo 1&2, Dogadon 1&2, Mad Jack, Pufftoss, Kut Out, K. Rool)
+
-- No GB Duping
+
-Whilst this is a LOTAD, I tried to remain as uncontroversial as possible with these definitions (especially the first definition).

 4] What's up with the weird tags?
 
 A fair amount of GBs in this LOTAD require locked camera TBS to prevent the loading of the GB in order to spawn snag it [grabbing a GB/Medal before the game checks whether it needs to despawn due to a puzzle being incomplete]. Having a locked camera on a tag barrel does not lend itself to good viewing, so we use a hack to prevent the despawn of the GB with an unlocked camera.
-5] This was great! Where can I see more stuff like this?
+However, this still takes us out of the range of the tag barrel when we grab the GB. So an easy way to fix this is to video edit our way back to a locked camera view so that we get the best of both worlds.
 
-If you are interested in more tool-assisted runs, I would advise watching these 2 runs which were created by RingRush:
+TL;DR: Because of a trick that would require the LOTAD to become unwatchable, we use a hack to make it watchable, but at the cost of having to use video editing to enable long-range tagging

 7] Why can't you grab [x] collectable?
 
 I've written up a lovely pastebin on why the stuff we skip can't be collected in moveless as of this point in time. I expect this to be obsoleted by the discovery of something else becoming moveless eventually, but eh, it's good to show the moveless strategies regardless of whether it'll become eventually obsolete.
