Bananazu Any% Notes (Intermediate Skill Level)

These notes are best suited for runners who've already gained some experience in runs and are looking to level up their game. It utilizes two loadouts, the Draining Gray Armor Paint, and Circuit Mode to create a run that is both visually impressive and technically demanding while cutting back on the overall difficulty through the sheer amount of options at your disposal.

General Purpose Info Sheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tChVohFD5pH_ohpD2CFOc4mxWafkQsfdW76XAApoxHk/edit?usp=sharing

This sheet contains info regarding booster chips, burst techniques, palette chips, and more.
Some parts (such as stage and timing info) are incomplete. I'm only able to dedicate so much time to this, since I'm also juggling personal projects, work, and other personal stuff.
This sheet (mostly) *does not* make definitive statements on what is/isn't good for speedruns. It's meant to act as a springboard for your own experimentation and research.
If you're aware of any info you feel should be added to the sheet let me know either via a DM here or in the Gravity Circuit speedrun Discord server (Short Circuit).

# SO YOU WANT TO RUN HUNDO% ON EASY DIFFICULTY LIKE I DO?

Cool! Here are some notes on that. They might make sense to you.

### [QUICK NOTES]

> You can "Return to Checkpoint" on bosses if you take damage to retry a perfect kill

> If you need to heal at a checkpoint, swap to L2 for Repair Enhancer to make it cheaper
