I wanted to ask a couple of questions/bring up some points regarding ILs. Judging from the current IL runs on the boards, I'm assuming that you can play earlier levels using any of the powerups you gain later on, since the current IL runs use double jumps in the earlier levels (although they do not use the dash ability). I'm not 100% sure if this is ok but I'm guessing it is based on the current runs on the leaderboard.

For ILs, should we allow starting a level with a full meter or should we require the meter to be empty? The current IL runs do have a full meter but they don't use it. Having a full meter allows the player to start off a level with plenty of dashes, rather than having to build up meter to get dashes.

I just wanted to make sure what would be ok for ILs before I start doing runs.

Yes that's allowed to start with a full meter, and for the 4 first levels it's basically a "NG+" (but can be played in Any% as well), so you can using dash speed and double jump.
