To do a pure, pure ascetic run, you are kind of forced to cut off a lot of the game just because of a few key levels, which is unfortunate. Because of the boat, you have to go through the start world and skip the entirety of worlds six and seven. You could enter the star world from world 5, however this assumes that butter bridge 1 IS actually beatable without the red switch - if this isn't the case you have to star-world it up as early as world 3, and thus skip a huge huge huge chunk of the game. This is why I don't do a 'pure' run, it's so we can actually play the dang game, haha~ http://www.raocow.com http://talkhaus.raocow.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3925
