This run was pretty exhausting, but I pulled through, 'cause someone had to.

FAQ:
Why do you use glitches? Because it's faster.
Why can you fly?
It's a glitch on the PS2, Wii and(360 versions. I store my mutant at the same time as I enter a cutscene, which causes the game to store a glitched mutant. It stops working when I go to a different hub (for example using the uka teleporters), and when I enter another cutscene with the glitched mutant.
What happened 4 hours 53 minutes in?? Did the game crash?
Yes, the game is guaranteed to crash at a random time after something like 4+ hours without resetting the console, that made me lose a bit of time, but it's good to have safety saves.
Why are you re-entering the desert portal?
I needed to farm mojo to upgrade my mutants, that place is the fastest to farm it in.

This is a single segment (all in one sitting) Real Time Attack 100% Speedrun.
Timing starts when you press 'continue' on the 'save complete' screen (alternatively 'continue without saving') and ends when you get the 'Superstar' prompt signalling 100% completion. It happens AFTER the ending, so it's skipped.
The run was done on a region free PAL PS2 using the NTSC Crash Mind Over Mutant.
