Category description
This category aims to complete the game as quickly as possible by collecting all the golden wings. None of the game's hidden items and therefore only gets the normal ending. The idea here is therefore warping from palace room to palace room until level 17 is reached and then rescue the king. This means no hidden items are collected and will therefore give the normal ending when Jack leaves the pyramid.
The terminology of the Game Mechanics page will be used below.

There are a few different ways to grab the key in this room. One alternative to what's seen here is to jump to the key from below, turn around mid-air, break block below to the left and then drop down. This is a few frames slower. A better alternative would be to do a running edge jump to the key, turn around mid-air, break block below to the left and then drop down. This is very close time-wise to the shown video (possibly a few frames faster in real-time), but considerably harder due to the running edge jump.
