Unless I'm missing something here, you don't have to do the "ceiling glitch" (you can call it a side jump corner death) to avoid the "gizmo." You only have to do that for minimum checkpoints.
Additionally, speedrunning the final part of level 8 would be practically impossible for a human. To get the minimum amount of "gizmo" touches, you would have to stay on the conveyor belt the whole time, (besides grabbing the key) as you can actually crouch under spikes on a conveyor belt if you crouch and uncrouch extremely quickly.
Talking about level 8, aren't conveyors gizmos (you press 5 to get them)??? In that case minimum gizmos in level 8 is really high... Also, it is possible to skip the trampoline parts in level 8, but you need to sidejump and do complicated movements after that only a few people are able to do (sidejumping away 1.5 blocks and doing a spikedge to reach a point that is 3 tiles further)
Yes, that is what I was saying. However, the second part of my comment explains how the minimum is actually not very high since you can crouch and uncrouch to go under spikes without jumping. It only counts as one "gizmo" touch if you don't jump, so the minimum would be extremely hard to do.
Although, I think the spikedge, while adding another "gizmo" touch would be a great alternative!
Oh, I understand what you mean.
Still not sure if many people would speedrun it, though.
Hardly anybody would speedrun this. Although the concept would work, its more of a challenge than a speedrunnable category. I just don't see the point. I'm not against the idea, but when I try minimum gizmos, I can tell I wouldn't spend time getting more efficient times. More simply, this category, in my opinion, is not going to work.
Btw what is this ceiling glitch that isn't the corner death? For level 8 at the beginning? Going up after sliding on the edge of the block is hardly a glitch. Even if you did that, you still touch the second 'eye launcher' by a few pixels.
This ceiling glitch, if you didn't know, is actually a side jump at the lowest point. Some of the levels for minimum gizmos will never be speedran. An alternate idea that would make more sense would be minimum moving tiles. This is kind of a mix between pacifist% and minimum gizmos. You can't touch blue platforms or anything in brush 4. In my opinion, this would be more interesting that minimum gizmos.
Timing starts at the first frame of movement and ends at the first frame of touching the flag
