Action Hero% Definition: There must be an explosion at every exit while the player leaves the level.
(Any explosion is fine so it doesnt have to be a bomb)
This is, as far as I know, the first clear of this category in Spelunky 2. You can watch the Spelunky HD Action Hero% WR by Spef here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/278254529
The journal at the end is photoshopped, there is no I was an action hero journal entry (sadly).

A video on how fast each level can be done. Each level is done using the least amount of teleports it was designed for.* Maybe you can find some faster versions with less teleports; if so, let me know!

A few notes about this run: Messed up bombs on Olmec, teleported to the left instead of up near the Qilin skip, telefragged Tun, chicken head really did not want to get telefragged, and somehow I landed safely on the spikes.

A speedrun with the Celeste Dash script made by Jimbo.
This script is very fun to play with and you can put it to good use in a speedrun (cancelling fall damage, going through webs without slowing down or just being faster). I recommend downloading it and trying it out!
This run wasnt my best pace, but I managed to finish slightly faster than the former WR by Jawn: https://youtu.be/nOZTCyqzH2I

Paranormal Investigator% Definition: Take a picture of the ghost on every level (except for levels where the ghost doesnt appear).
This definition requires going to Sunken City, but you could also do one that ends at Tiamat. The eggplant world doesnt count. You can take a picture of the grave and it will show the empress, but the ghost doesnt appear naturally.
