Mini-Conless

Mini-Conless is a loosely defined speedrun category. Definitions include:
 * Beating the game without collecting or using any Mini-Cons throughout gameplay.
 * Beating the game while still collecting enough Mini-Cons to unlock the Cybertron level, but never using any Mini-Cons that were collected.

Impossibility
By the current methods, completing even every one of the first seven levels of the game is physically impossible. But with this game, you just never know what might later be discovered. Current game-beating impossibilities include:
 * Mid-Atlantic: inability to get to the Tidal Wave ship without using Slipstream.
 * Starship: inability to bypass two invisible walls in the level which block access to the player unless Highjump Mini-Con is equipped (if the invisible walls were not present, they could still be climbed via the jump-and-transform glitch.
 * Pacific Island: Inability to cross two ledges near the volcano's top without Slipstream or one of the dash Mini-Cons.

No collecting
It is currently impossible to enter the Cybertron level without 1.) Beating Megatron in Pacific Island and 2.) collecting a certain amount of Mini-Cons (30, 35, or 40 depending on the difficulty chosen). The only loose ideas of ways to accomplish this feat are either by doing some sort of insane game corruption glitch which is currently unknown, or by using cheat codes to get Cybertron unlocked without physically using any Mini-Cons (which is cheating and shouldn't be done in a speedrun anyway).
