Well, I decided to do a no reset S+T BE Glitchless run just to get the ball rolling maybe, I'll try to upload it for tomorrow and link it here.
I took into account everything that Xandre said what would and wouldn't be allowed in the discord, so I did some stuff still, like jumping through slopes in PG1 and HC2, flying over the gap in HC2 and running on the ceiling in 1 part in TM2 (I think that's all).
Once you see the run, you'll see what I mean, since these 4 things feel in a grey area for me. We can discuss whether it should be fine as a 1st run or if we want to go further with the definition of glitchless
Xandre made "rules" for a glitchless category a while ago in the discord, I think the main reason it's not been added is because not many runs have been done of it. So if we want the category added, we need to do runs.
Yea, I recorded runs on my phone when I 1st did runs and they all were accepted, so as long as the screen isn't too bright, dark or blurry for anything to be seen, you should be good.
Getting the emeralds would 100% not be faster, but having it as it's own thing could be fine, though I'd see more of an argument for NG+ than Good Ending if this does become a category with it's own extensions
