Tips & Tricks

Notes:
  • Regular tips start at [00:05]
  • Assisted tips start at [07:13]
  • All regular tips will work in assisted mode, so are not repeated in the video.
  • The door code between B3.2 and B3.3 is 5379.
  • Always take the SOUTH path in Chapter 5. Its levels are shorter and easier.
  • Any levels not shown in the video don't have any significant change to the normal way to solve them. Just run through them as quick as possible.

Achievements
Although speed running a game for the challenge of it is fun, there are 2 achievements related to doing so. Once the main story of the game is complete, you can do a Regular speedrun by going to the Completionist's Content section of the level select. There is a separate room where you are able to start the speedrun. You must start it this way in order to get the achievement.

The Assisted speedrun is unlocked once you complete the Bonus levels. The section behind the glass in the speedrun room will open up and you can choose the Assisted mode from the button inside it.

Speed Runner Achievement Goal Times:
You must complete the Regular speedrun in 50 minutes or less. Try to keep your per-chapter speedrun times below these in order to ensure you get the Speed Runner achievement.
