Lost Lunatic Trials - Any% playthrough (50 stars) [no savestates]

I originally intended for this to be the second Any% Project, but I never got around to doing anything with the footage I had until now, so I decided to dump it all into one master recording and upload it like this instead. I enjoyed beating this hack, even if only partially. The intent for this hack is for any% to be a tangible achievement that any other kaizo player at my skill level can and should reach. The ideas are fresh and the platforming is creative, so it was a treat to actually finish this after previewing it at SSRM 2022. Some of the more notable stars include: 1) nnnnnNNN red coins (24:42): This took around seven hours, if I recall. I could rarely get attempts going and even then I was still prone to crushing deaths (my worst was with 9/9, landing on the quicksand). 2) Land of the Rising Sun red coins (33:47): The first three reds are the hardest part of the star in my opinion, so it was quite hard to get attempts farther in. Starting from the normal spawn and going to the checkpoint mid-attempt certainly didn't help. Neither did dying at the last jump (sound familiar?) 3) Sacreligious Peaks star 5 (49:16): I really wanted to do this the normal way but I wasn't able to get the ToF-esque wallkicks even once. Katze found a massive cheese, which is what I use in this video - it has been patched out in newer releases of this hack. --- This hack was created by ShiN3.
