This run, as I said at the time, surpasses personal speedrunning goals and ambitions for me, this run is without a doubt one of my all-time greatest life accomplishments period. Since I started running this game back in 2012, I have always had a soft spot for this category, to the point where I may even say its on a level with Warpless for me, I cannot pick a favorite, whereas almost everyone else prefers warpless. In late 2016, the warp glitch was discovered, and with it, the 101% warp exploit, saving 7 minutes. I had the privilege of being the founder of this, which easily strengthened my love for this category. And then in 2020, Natty found the Tiny Arena Nitro Shortcut that saves 30 seconds per lap every time you get it, whilst being ridiculously hard and a punishing shortcut to fail, the reward for getting it is insane. This run is a culmination of everything, continuing to play 101% for years upon years, the warp glitch giving this category a new lease on life, and me hitting the new Tiny Arena shortcut 5/5 times, something that I never thought would be reasonable at all. I know this is a long ass description, but with how proud I am of this run and with how much has gone into it, I think it is justified. This game is sick.
