It's the latest from the crazy challenges department.
As you may know, I've done a no joystick challenge in Egg Quarters before. However, that was mission 3, and it took 3 minutes just to go a quarter turn around the level. This time I'll be in mission 4, meaning I'm truly limited to 3 minutes, and the keys will be a lot more scattered than just one quarter of the level.
To offset this, I'll be using "cruise control": preparing the controller so that it thinks it's being pushed in one direction even though I'm not touching the stick at all. This allows L and R to essentially serve as movement buttons (that is, as long as I can fight against the camera's built-in efforts to reposition itself).
To offset THAT, the direction of choice will be...down. In other words, Rouge will constantly try to run toward the camera (so that I can barely even see where I'm going), and if she ever grabs on to a wall, she'll immediately start climbing back down the wall--the only way to climb up is to repeatedly jump back on the wall gaining a small amount of height each time.
I like to think of this challenge as being like dizzy mode, but even crazier. And since it's Egg Quarters, we have those beetle robots to deal with too.
Just suffice it to say: this is one of the better key layouts you can get in the challenge. A good chunk (probably between a third and half) of the 101 key locations aren't even worth trying for in no stick, cruise control down. You just start over and hope for a better layout next time.
holy shit
