How are we feeling about doing a run with no badges, like no using action or expert badges. I know it's difficult to automatically apply but I feel there could be a path somehow

definitely doable, the only one you'd have to manually unequip is the parachute badge after obtaining it as far as i'm aware, unless any new one you get is forcefully equipped if you're not using any badge at that moment

If you can't ever use badges it's imposiible because you need to do chj1 in w3

Any required badge challenge levels wouldn't invalidate the category. As long as badges aren't in use where possible this still works

Minimumbadges?
