TWIN GALAXIES% FAQ

Q: What?:


A: This is the TRUE category of Banjo Tooie, the category deemed by the site that is unquestionably the one true face of speedrunning and competitive gaming itself: Twin Galaxies. You don’t use glitches like a lot of those fucking tools on SRL use, we play it the way the game was MEANT to be intended to be. That means no wrong warping, no glitching, no clipping or grabbing shit with a clockwork like a fucking bitch. Playing this BY THE BOOKS GETTING 75 JIGGIES AND BEATING GRUNTILDA AND SAVING AFTERWARDS.
Here’s the definition itself on the website: “New Game Only [No Cheat Codes]Special Rules: You do NOT need to collect all the Honeycombs, Notes, Cheato Pages or Jiggies [Only 75] for this variation. The timer on the Saved game will be used when you defeat Gruntilda and successfully complete the game and save when presented to. Please go back to the main game and scroll to your saved game file showing the completion time. You MUST complete the game or your record/attempt will be disqualified!”
Don’t believe me? SEARCH THE SCORES ON THE SITE AND TELL ME WHAT IT SAYS BITCH:

Also for a fun challenge I'm gonna try to not save and quit out at any point and also gonna avoid deathwarping.


Q: Wait… 75 jiggies? But you only need 70 jiggies to…

A: YOU DARE QUESTION THE ALMIGHTY TWIN GALAXIES?! DO YOU NOT WANT TO BE FEATURED ON THE GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS?!?!?!

Q: I don’t get the joke that well/Wow what an old joke jesus really

A: The concept of this idea revolved around controversy that happened revolving Twin Galaxies about 3 years ago, don’t remember the story too well but I know it involved that ProdigyX guy claiming to have the world record in a Tomb Raider, and getting a lot of publicity for it when he didn’t even do any glitches and it was like one run. It was fucking dumb lol.
The reason I did it last year was it was something I’ve wanted to do for more than 2 years, but because of school I’ve ALWAYS been busy =( Now that I have some time to do it I don’t want to miss my chance and wait ANOTHER year. I was a bit skeptical about it at first, because I have seen a board recently where they are apparently trying to allow glitching into their own community again, but at the same time… I just felt I NEEDED to do this, or else it would keep haunting me until next year.

This time around I just really wanted to route it out properly.

Q: Do you have a route?

Q: How long will this take?

A: fuck idk, last time it took like 7-8 hours, this time it's routed so that will make no difference whatsoever. In all seriousness I estimate it to take 5-6.
