Chapter 2: Old Site (2A)
Variant Mode: Hiccups ON
Golden Strawberry run (0-deaths clear)


So after getting the 1A Golden Strawberry with Hiccup-eline, I was kind of thinking about whether any other GSes would be reasonable to try with Hiccups... and 2A came to mind as a possibility. ^^

Of course, since transit blocks are more dangerous than usual with Hiccups, that meant taking things even slower and more careful than usual in this Chapter... not just with the normal hazards, but also with HiccuPart Of Me! Fortunately, since HiccuPart Of Me follows exactly what you do, if you flee from her slowly and carefully, she'll chase after you just as slowly and carefully. =)

So I gave it a try! And though it took more tries than I was originally hoping... I did finally get the GS! ^_^

So here it is... my first ever Hiccup-eline 2A Golden Strawberry! Hope you enjoy!


Some notes and possible points of interest:

0:05 Hiccup-eline! I decided to continue from my WGS Hiccup file instead of starting anew (mainly because I found it amusing to have a file with only non-red strawberries). =)

0:10 "Start"
0:18 Variant Mode
0:26 Golden Strawberry! Unlike a normal Strawberry, you can't obtain a Golden Strawberry by simply landing on safe ground. Instead, the GS will follow you around until you reach essentially the end of the level (sometimes at the actual end, but sometimes (like in 2A) a bit sooner)... which means after you pick up the GS, you have to complete the level without dying (dying will send both Hiccup-eline and the Golden Strawberry back to the beginning)!
0:50 Note: If Hiccup-eline's clinging to the wall here, the Hiccup will actually cause her to grab the refresh gem. =)
1:12 Our first meeting with HiccuPart Of Me. =)
1:32 Note: if you Hiccup while inside a transit block, your course will change a bit! So sometimes it can be safer to wait until right after a Hiccup before entering the block. And of course, since it is safer, I tended to do this a lot during this run. =)

2:20 "Intervention"
3:41 ...and a Hiccup to begin the chase!
4:18 I meant to hit the left doorbell after hitting the top-left or top-mid one... but missed both times, so I had to make a third pass. ^^
4:47 Heh, now that I'm re-watching the video... I almost hit the wall in that first transit block, didn't I? ^^;
5:03 Note: It's probably safer to go to the right after this shortcut, but I kind of wanted to avoid the strawberry... so I went left instead.
5:09 For some reason, the combination of Hiccups and the transit block here were giving me trouble when I was recording... so I decided to use the shortcut here instead (accidentally grabbed the block and caused it to fall on this run... but it turned out okay in the end)! ^^
5:25 Whoops, Hiccup sent me past the gap. =)
5:40 The only real danger in this section (as long as you ignore the strawberries) is a Hiccup inside a transit block causing you to accidentally hit a wall... so I took this section a little more carefully than I usually do.
6:03 2A+Hiccups Golden Strawberry obtained! =) It is still possible for Hiccup-eline to die, if you go for the final strawberry after waking up... but this is essentially the end of any real danger, so I guess that's why the devs decided to trigger the GS here (pretty much at the end of the dream), instead of forcing you to carry it through the rest of the Chapter. ^_^

7:41 "Awake"
8:59 Chapter Complete
