This run is very straightforward. If you're curious about routing you can check any of the videos for the category, as it's fairly easy to memorize, but I'll just be explaining a few things about the run in this guide.

Firstly, the one and only major glitch in the run (which the community has dubbed Sleepwalking) can be a bit weird and hard to get a hang of. You have to enter the house, and then unplug a controller, then plug it back in. This will bring up an invisible pause menu, so navigate blindly down to Emergency Return and activate it. It'll be one A-Press to start it and one to confirm. Then Sleep Until Morning, move down to Return to Ranch, and hit A. Now you'll be outside, the pause menu AND the Emergency Return text will still be up, and now you can switch back to keyboard and mouse. Now just hit Esc and time should be moving at around 100x speed while your character is still able to move around, and this means that plants grow faster, you can't take any significant damage, and your energy meter will either never go down or refill immediately once you stop using Jetpack/Sprint.

Secondly, the run itself. There are (as of 0.4.2d) nine Gordos to feed. 2 Pink, 2 Rock, 2 Tabby, 1 Phosphor, 1 Honey, and 1 Rad. Each slime (except the pinks) have a favorite food, and feeding the Gordos their favorite food will make them pop twice as fast as any other food. For example, a Phosphor Gordo would take 65 Pogofruit or Mint Mangos to feed completely, but only 33 Cuberries.

Pink = No favorite food, but 45 of any type of food will pop it. Tabby = 33 Stony Hen, or 65 of any type of chicken. Rock = 33 Heart Beets, or 65 of any vegetable. Phosphor = 33 Cuberries, or 65 of any fruit. Honey = 33 Mint Mangos, or 65 of any fruit. Rad = 33 Oca Oca, or 65 of any vegetable.

By far it's more beneficial to feed each Gordo a mix of what they can eat, because otherwise you'd have to make multiple trips to your food sources in order to pop them. Instead of walking back and forth between the Stony Hen nest and the second Tabby, it's much faster to feed it 20 Stony Hens and 25 of any other chicken.

Thirdly, a few tips. Learn the map and the food spawns, to make walking around and using backup strats second nature. I also recommend double tapping jump when you want to jetpack because sometimes it will take a little bit to get to max height, but if you tap and then hold it will go to max height very quickly.

The largest Cuberry spawn is behind the first Pink Gordo, the largest Mint Mango spawn is next to the Honey Gordo, the largest Heart Beet spawn is in the area before the first Rock Gordo, the best (not necessarily largest but it's the one I primarily use due to convenience) Stony Hen spawn is by the Key Door to the Glass Desert, and the largest Oca Oca spawn is in between the broken bridge and the second Rock Gordo.

I collect the Jetpack early on to maximize my movement options through the rest of the run, but you only definitively need it to cross the broken bridge to get the second Rock Gordo and the Rad Gordo.

I personally set my graphical settings as low as they can go to make my recording and gameplay 60fps, but I don't know if that has any bearing on the run itself.

Finally, good luck!
