No, this is not the first part of some playthrough, but a demonstration of something I really don't recommend to anyone who actually wants to win this game without spending hours and hours replaying it.

So we all know that in this game, grabbing balls (hur hur hur) makes you more powerful and in turn allows you to transform and fight the boss. But what if you don't want to go around catching hairy wolf nuts? Can you still get into a scrap with the big bald man at the end of the level?

Short answer:
Yes.

Long answer:
You can, but you'll have to watch him scoff and run away twice beforehand. Eventually he seems to apparently get sick of the weedy gimp stumbling around and trashing his monsters, and takes matters into his own hands.

Quite why anyone would want to try and get through the entire game like this though is a mystery to me. Before anyone asks, I probably could do so with a few dummy runs to learn where everything is, but I sure as hell wouldn't enjoy any of it.
