Hi everyone, I'm back here and I'm going to try and get some runs in every category on this game, but I don't understand the rules of Deathless%. Is that an Any% where you can't lose any heart or something similar ? Idk, if you can tell me guys how to achieve this category it would be good. Thannk you all ^^
As what I understand Deathless% means that you can't lose a life (dog icon, not a heart). @Dezu123 added it because of his brother (https://www.speedrun.com/happyland_xmas/thread/b9a3z) and now he is afk for over 6 months. I actually thought about proposing the removal of this category on the forum because in most any% runs there are no deaths (and this is speedrun site, not cemetery to keep nonsense categories just for sentiment). But changing it to Any% without losing any heart may be a good idea.
I think that's a good idea to change it to Any% without losing any heart (that may be interesting in some levels and it increases difficulty of Any%). I'll soon make a guide for Happyland Xmas beginners (explaining mechanics like sliding and taking speed with slopes) and another with the ways I take in long levels to reduce my time (like in Mines 2/3, Tops 3 in Any%), at least for Any% and 100%. Thank you for the fast answer, I'm always happy to discuss with you all.
