have you seen this?

A Grinning DM
I know it's nearly a year old but it just came to my attention

Quinn Angstrom
is this twilight princess low%

A Grinning DM
Quinn Angstrom
: yes

Quinn Angstrom
It's one of my favorite run categories

Quinn Angstrom
someone once ran low% and, during the waiting segments, ran every other category

A Grinning DM
hah, that's awesome

Quinn Angstrom
still not the most stupidly long and tedious game to speedrun though

Quinn Angstrom
that goes to Baten Kaitos 100%

Quinn Angstrom
which takes over two weeks

i was just about to bring up baten kaitos 100%

or shadow the hedgehog all routes

the record right now is a week of straight gameplay (segmented) b/c you have to play through every possible permutation of routes

A Grinning DM
at the end of the video I linked, they talk about how it would be possible to get the item count one lower and thus set a new record for TP even if you spent weeks doing it, but it requires such perfect precision and timing that no one has been able to do it without computer assistance. But it is theoretically possible

Quinn Angstrom
in low%, a 13 minute run that gets 9 items will lose to a 450 hour run that gets 8 items

A Grinning DM
correct
