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.

Aside from a really silly death at the start of Death Egg 2, this run is executed really well. I hope it's relatively self-explanatory to pick up, compared to the glitch-heavy runs. :)
