This is an Any% run using a glitch I have dubbed "Supercharged Dash Glitch" or SDG. Halen: BotBT has an interesting property where if you exit a game, the next time you enter the game you will maintain some of the same variables that you had when you exited. An example of this is if you quit out of the game with X ammo, the next time you enter a game you will have X ammo, even if it is a new game.

An application of this glitch is quitting out next to a Supercharging pole, as the next time you load into a new game you will be permanently "supercharged" meaning you can dash farther and with very little cooldown.

This run doesn't fit into the category of Any% in my opinion as it requires some setup (starting a game and running to a supercharge station to quit out), and cannot be done on every run without the setup.

There is also a roadblock, which is upon entering level 3 your dash breaks (you can use it, but you don't go anywhere) so I fix this by closing the game and using an already opened window of Halen (it is faster than restarting the game from clicking on the program) to continue from where I left off. This fixes my dash and allows me to finish the run.
