The route basically tries to crash the game as fast as possible. So far the route goes to get wolf, then to get Jewel Knuckle and the Garnet, infinite money glitch to equip two duplicators and then punch until the game crashes.

Jewel knuckle is used because it has a critical rate of 64/255 which is really high (Buffalo stars have a critical rate of 32/255, fists 1/255)

We already have 2 recorded runs of this.

Obviously if someone finds a faster way to crash the game (HUD Frozen; unable to soft reset) then that's the new route.

How many different runners have attempted this so far, do you know?

about 4. IIRC myself, Crazy, and Gallivanter tried it. Advent also helped theorize portions of it. Honestly if it were added, I might try to improve my time more. Just haven't had a reason to return to it.
