Defining Icecream Bounds for "less" Categories
4 years ago
Florida, USA

If some people can run diveless/spinless/jumpless and figure out the maximum amount of icecreams for each and which icecreams are possible without major glitches(including bonus levels), please send your videos here as we need to know what categories each one should have (such as NMG any% or 100%).

A total of 39 icecreams are possible to obtain jumpless: however, 15 are impossible to obtain. Look below and find out every icecream which is not physically possible to obtain without the use of glitches.

Here is every single impossible icecream: Racing to the Top of Turtle Tops, Floating with Flowers, Going Down a Dark Hallway, Tricky Jumps and Dives, Hunting 8 Eggs in the Hecklands, Racing to the Top of the Hecklands, Making the Longest Jumps Possible, Racing to the Top of New Neocity, Short Jumping Around, Swinging with Wires, Hecklands Challenge, Turtle Tops Challenge, Knoddy's Resort Challenge, Final Homerun! and New Neocity Challenge.

Climbing the Purple Tower may seem impossible, but it is possible using frame perfect inputs.

Thanks

Does jumpless only count actual jumps and not swimming up/firing ice creams? That kinda confused me for a bit.

Racing ice creams are possible, just wiggle at the top of the flag pole to try to get it. Floating with Flowers is also possible, for both reaching and completing. Short Jumping Around is a total pain, but it's possible. Swinging with Wires requires reversing right before running off the first ledge to grab the ledge, then barely tapping shift an holding right to get a dismount that reaches the first wire. From there, you can swing and let go of the wire in such a way that you land on the second. I don't know why you think Hunting 8 Eggs in Tinyhuge Bedroom is impossible without jumping, someone made a bingo board in the resources area of the Robot 64 speedrun page and doing that without jumping is in it. Final Homerun! is possible jumpless, both doing the entire thing and scaling the inner wall to go straight to the jetpack.

Can you link a video to Purple Tower without jumping? I'd really love to see it in action!

how is final homerun possible jumpless?

United States

Me and Cornboi did a video on it, by wall running off the side of a corner you can gain a bit of height, spin back, and repeat to climb corners indefinitely. Rather do that through the entire thing or take a detour at the lava walls to climb the inner square.

can you show a video of you completing all of these (I now know 8 eggs in bedroom are possible)

and I don't have a clip of me beating purple tower, we only now a tas can do it with pause buffering. its possible for a human, never been done, but we know it's possible.

On my YT I have a bunch of minimum Space press videos for each ice cream, which is like Jumpless but with more restrictions.

Race (TT): Race (Hecklands): Race (NNC): Floating With Flowers: Short Jumping Around (From 0:05 to 3:25): Swinging With Wires (Successful attempt starts 0:34 and ends 1:15): Final Homerun!:

Like I mentioned earlier, Short Jumping Around is a pain, and I'm not sure if I could do Purple Tower.

fun fact - assuming absurd glitches (like WTW and rmlaunches) are allowed, you can get every IC (except destroying the sun for obvious reasons) without pressing the Space bar once.

i'm pretty sure rmlaunches needs a jump for it to work

São Paulo, Brazil

no, rmlaunches just need upwards force, which can be done simply by uncrouching. (not sure about the "upwards force" but it's possible :D)
