  8.  
  9. ::Goal::
  10. Trigger the end screen of all 42 levels and beat the game on the selected difficulty, collecting everything listed below.
  11.

  13. • All Speed Chips
  14. • 6 Batterys
  15. • Lvl 2+3 Arm Servos
  16. • Lvl 1+2 Scope
  17. • All Weapon Tiers - upgraded using EUKs
  18.  
  19. ::Nuance::
  20. You may replay a level for a Secret Chip, but you will have to collect all the Secret Chips in that level at once for the game to count them all as collected.
  21.  
  22. ::Proof::
  23. Video proof is required showing from the beginning of profile creation until the end screen of the level in which you achieved 100% completion. Runs may be rejected for poor video quality at the Verifier's discretion.
  24.  
  25. ::WR Timing::
  26. Cumulative IGT (In Game Time) + RTA (Real Time) of partially completed levels.
  27.  
  28. ::IGT Table and IGT Sum::
  29. All runners are required to mark down their in game time (IGT) shown at the end of each level in the runs description. If a level is played to completion twice, both end screen times will count towards IGT. If a level is not finished and doesn't have an endscreen; the RTA timing of that partial completion will be added instead. The total of these times is the value for the "In Game Time" column on the leaderboards.
  30.  
  31. ::RTA Timing (Optional, but encouraged)::
  32. Starts when you take control of Glitch and ends at the fade to black of the level on which you achieved 100% completion.
