yayyy yay!!! as soon as i saw the trailer i knew i wanted to get all of the goldens, but the idea of doing the fgr creeped into my head and by the time it came out i was already certain id do it

thumby art by my wife!!

this campaign is by donker19! download it here gamebanana.com/mods/648076
the campaign consists of 3 maps, each one a different planet! Barrenara, Sylvia, and Glacio, all of which have very different styles of gameplay.
Barrenara is slower paced, more route-y, and methodical, including having to be good with core block nuance in the second half
Sylvia is faster paced and flowy, with gameplay that always smoothly leads into itself, with the second half being a very cool puzzle!!!
Lastly, Glacio is rough and feels like its pushing back on you, very precise with extremely little room for error. Pretty much none of the rooms in this map are retryable, so if you fail something, it usually marks your end.

in terms of *goldening*, the first chapter is slow and a litttle boring, and if youre not focused youll constantly die to random things and memory mistakes
the second chapter is (currently, anyway) placed in tier 4, and thats solely because of checkpoint 1 alone. of course in a golden setting, cp2 basically adds nothing. so while it may seem low tiered, in a fgr scenario its EVIL, all of the difficulty is simply condensed into half of the rooms, with many many chokepoints and inputs you can just simply miss. i ended up labbing the map a ton and im pretty happy with my fgr strats, but cp1 final is kind of always just a bomb chokepoint of a room no matter what
and finally, the third chapter is certainly hardest individually, and especially for golden. the non-retryable aspect of every room makes it so much more brutal, and you really cant make a single mistake unless youre very lucky with what kind of mistake it was. the first checkpoint also has a few strats i found that, while more consistent, are still extremely easy to fail.
and that last sentence there applies to cp2, too. cp2 is scary, and especially has The Wallbounce of Doom in the 4th to last room, a raw unfiltered 3f with a really hard lead-up into it. buffering and the first two frames after buffering fail i believe, so yeah

i had a ton of fun getting all of these goldens on their own and, as youll see in the video, i ended up getting this unbelievably quickly because the planets happened to align for this run. IDK how i fluked chapter 3, thats seriously perfect how many stars lined up for that run to be the one

i got barrenara golden 3 times (first collect + two chapter 2 entries in the fgr)
i got sylvia golden probably 5 or 6 times
and i got glacio golden only twice, the first collect, and the one in this run
