v.1.2.6.1 (2019 Jan 21)

Chapter 1: Forsaken City (1A)
Variant Mode: Hiccups ON (Complete 8C to unlock Variants)
Winged Golden Strawberry run (0-Dash clear)


So for any of you who might not know... there's actually a secret strawberry in Chapter 1 (A-side): if you get to the final screen without ever Dashing, you'll find a Winged Golden Strawberry waiting for you there!

The WGS is basically a Winged Strawberry (gets scared and flies away if you Dash) that tracks your progress through the entire Chapter (like a Golden Strawberry does), except that it leaves if you Dash anywhere in the Chapter, instead of sending you back to the beginning if you die anywhere in the Chapter.

Anyway, after getting my 6th GS, for some reason I started thinking about the 0-Dash challenge... so just for fun, I thought I'd give it a try. =)

To help with the more difficult parts, I mostly consulted the JoshuaTinBucket and Suyooo videos (I'll include links to these (and a couple other videos) near the bottom of this Description)... and with their help, I actually managed to get the WGS! =)


Of course, at some point during the 0-Dash run, I started thinking about Hiccup-eline ("Actually, making it over there with Hiccups would probably be a lot easier than doing this spike corner jump trick...") Which got me thinking... I wonder if it'd be possible to complete the entire 0-Dash run with Hiccups instead of the advanced tricks (spike corner jump, 0-stamina wall jump, etc, etc) we're supposed to be using?

As it turns out, it is actually possible! =)

Long story short, I did a quick test run to make sure every challenge was possible with Hiccups, then recorded this run. It took a lot longer than I thought it would... so I ended up editing out most (but not all) of the failed attempts. ^^; In hindsight, I probably should've done a second test run (to work on strategies), but I was pretty excited to get started... so that's what I did. =)

Anyway, here it is... my first ever Hiccup-eline Winged Golden Strawberry! Hope you enjoy!


Some notes and possible points of interest:

0:08 Hiccup-eline! I decided to continue from my 1A Hiccup-GS file instead of starting anew (apparently, the WGS is obtainable whether normal GSes have been unlocked or not!). =)

0:13 "Start"
0:19 Variant Mode

1:27 "Crossing"
1:46 This is possibly the hardest room in a non-Hiccup no-Dash run, mainly because it requires a trick/technique that isn't necessary in any other part of the run. I found completing this room with Hiccups a lot easier, however, mainly because it's just a matter of getting the Hiccup timing you want. =)
3:11 "Cling to the wall and wait for the Hiccup to dislodge you" safe strat I used during my 0-deaths run. =)
3:28 During my test run, I tried a number of different strategies in this room... so I actually had to spend a bit of time here remembering which one actually worked. =)
4:23 "Cling to the wall" strat again. =)

4:34 "Chasm"
4:48 Going from top-right to top-mid without the spike corner jump was actually one of the more difficult challenges during this run.
- EDIT (1/Jun/2019): Turns out you can actually jump+hiccup directly to the right wall of the safe platform! The timing has to be just right, but it is possible! ^_^
6:16 This is another room I tried a lot of different strategies on, during my test run. ^.^;
6:48 Without using the "0-stamina wall jump" technique, getting to the second moving platform is just a matter of getting the Hiccup timing just right. ^_^
7:25 The first time I got to this point, I actually missed that final jump, because I was worried about a Hiccup interrupting it... and simply got the timing wrong. ^^;
7:31 Winged Golden Strawberry!
7:42 Similar to the way a Winged Strawberry basically turns into a normal Strawberry when you grab it, the WGS basically turns into a normal GS when you grab it. So it'll follow you around until you around until you reach the end of the stage... which in this case is just a few steps to the right. =)
7:49 My first ever 1A+Hiccups Winged Golden Strawberry! ^_^
