Here, have yet another one! You'd think with walker mobility, getting anywhere without A button would be a pain in the ass, but then again consider what Iron Gate is. It's predominantly a downhill course, and obviously the first time you play through you don't even have hover. You do get jump, but that even turns out unnecessary!
The only real tricky part is at the very end, where you have to get up on the ledge with the last broken doors. Just running off the platform above falls a bit short; you need to take advantage of the fact that the launchpad where the missile used to be is ever so slightly higher than the rest, and run off that at just the right angle that you get maximum distance and hit he ledge before falling too far.
This really could have been done in m4, but seeing as Iron Gate's time limit isn't even close to limiting, anything gained from that stylistic choice would be minimal. Choosing 1 instead of 4 means the checkpoints are still in, so you get the world's most useless speed shoe upgrade...at least it's something.
