So this started as a meme in a YouTuber’s community. It was a joke for awhile, but we’ve started to give this category some life. Basically the goal is to die to the Grindel that’s found in Shifting Sand Land. It starts like a normal SM64 run. Time starts when the new save file is selected, and you have to die to Grindel. Time ends when Mario takes the last point of damage. We’ve been discussing and think that there should be a glitchless Grindel% for people who choose to run it or their platform just can’t. (SM3DAS) What do y’all think?

Could you show an example run? Sounds fun.😂

the grindel is the spinny thingy isn’t it Also he said glitchless

@WookisDaOne No, he died to right enemy. Also, there’s any way, AND glitchless. @HeyDave I have a few runs on my VODs storage. https://youtube.com/channel/UCBgmPipCSEC3G14CYm_Ocng

we've theorized it may be faster in both glitchless and with glitches to take near-fatal damage to torches in the basement before entering SSL

Just don’t die in SSL or your health will be reset XD

@gr3atj0b You are correct. I did some experiments and burning twice on torches does save about 7 seconds.

as the world record holder for the glitchless catagory myself, i approve
