From what I can tell, the mask causes the Ash Twin to begin draining. Even if we skip it we can't progress in the run in Any% unless there is another way to trigger Ash Twin, but even if there was I doubt it would be faster.
On the other hand, the mask skip means that we now have a way to explore the solar system without any time limit. This might be useful for 100%?
I'll make a death% category for that run! I originally did marshmallow% because there was no other solid goal in the alpha, so I don't even know if or how I should update that category. I just renamed it to show it was in the alpha, I might just remove the category tbh. Any% is live now so go ahead and get a run submitted! Someone else has already ran it so you have some competition.
I propose that there be a category added called Crash%. The goal of this category is to crash the game as quickly as possible. This can probably be done several ways but the main one is by flying in the air with the chair glitch and then hopping out at a really high altitude.
