Explainer on what glitchless means: Essentially any glitch that causes me to move into or through a solid object is not allowed, as well as any method of level wrap, and the slope and wheel glitches.

The run is timed in real time with the length of the time bonuses subtracted. For example, the 50000 time bonus counts down for 500 frames, or 8.33 seconds. This is the fairest way to time the game because it means you are never penalised for completing a stage faster, but time spent between stages (and paused) is also counted.

This is a fairly good run for now - it's deathless, at least. I'll come back to this in a month or two and learn all the best strats, I can probably take a minute or two off across the whole run if I get everything.
