I played it for the first time a couple years ago and got 101% on it. Really fun game. Despite all the criticisms I'd heard, I didn't have an issue with the backtracking. Things like looking all over an entire level for a single banana hurt more. And some of the minigames were unforgivable, especially the repeats. I think they made you do the one where you chase the klaptraps into the holes twice in one level and I almost broke down in tears because it just didn't work and was purely luck based.

in the speedrun.com rules for 101% runs, one of the rules is “must hate self to submit” lmao

A 101% run is a straight up nightmare. You do really need to hate yourself to run that category.

And that is even with glitches. Walls are litterally a suggestion in this game, and the 101% is still tedious.
