Anyway, in this episode, I give 110%. I made several runs through this level and in the process, planned out my preferred route for the 22nd trinket, which requires me to minimize using the teleporters as much as possible.

And, this is my best run, only really getting snagged by just one problematic room (Flip Training in the Life Factory level, where I died 36 times for whatever darn reason), but I got through other potentially troublesome places (such as the three challenge trinkets in the Dimension Tunnel) unexpectedly quickly here, so I'm pretty satisfied with this run, which took me about half an hour to complete. (Note: I didn't 100% the map on this run, but I don't care about that this time.)

Anyway, my route here is most based on a route FIQ had suggested to me earlier. Here's what I did:

* Start off by getting the trinket in the Space Station 2 area, on the "Level Complete!" screen.
* Make sure to enter the screen that has the "TE" terminal on it.
* Get two other trinkets in the overworld/exploration area. (One is several screens above the right exit from the "T8" tunnel, and the other is just above the Platform Arena entrance.)
* Complete the Platform Arena level, getting the trinket within it along the way.
* Backtrack through Platform Arena after completing it (getting its bonus trinket in the process).
* After being automatically warped back to the hub, just activate "T0" again without touching anything else to return to where I just was.
* Complete the Inversed Floors level, getting all trinkets within it.
* Upon returning to the hub this time, choose "TE". (This is the only time I'm allowed to use a terminal besides "T0" in the hub.)
* Warp to "TE" and get that trinket.
* Complete the Life Factory level, getting all trinkets within it.
* Upon returning to the hub, Vitellary will be there. Go left or right one screen to cause Vitellary to set the warp destination to "T1" for me, then use "T0" to warp there.
* Complete The Maze level, getting all trinkets within it.
* Get auto-warped to "T1" by Vita this time.
* Complete the rest of the level normally without having to mess around with the hub anymore.
* The 22nd trinket will be granted after returning to the hub at the end of the level and reading Vita's farewell letter.

Now, I did speed through most of the story really quickly, although I slowed down a little bit near the end, and I left the messages regarding the 22nd trinket on the screen for several seconds since those are obviously new.

Oddly, after I finished the level with 22 trinkets, I was reduced to just one * next to this level on the level select menu. Apparently, you must finish with exactly the number of trinkets the level claims to have (which is 20 here) in order to get the **, and finishing with any extra trinkets is no good. Fortunately, I was able to just load up my previous 100% save that had exactly 20 trinkets and quickly reclear the level to get my ** back.

BTW, don't expect annotations here, as I don't feel like annotating this half-hour episode. (And I don't feel like figuring out what 18^(2^36) is equal to in the Flip Training room.)

Feel free to comment, but just know that I dislike profanity. Any comments containing F-bombs and/or S-bombs will be very violently and viciously voided in the vast vacuum of space! (In other words, they'll be deleted.)
(Comments containing other types of inappropriate content and excessively spammy pointless comments may meet this fate as well.)
