"With this, I become the very first person to complete TD reds (Tampering Distortion reds) lol. Anyway, this is the 2nd hardest level in the game and reds here are quite a bit harder than anything in the main game, with only the other post game level Invasion of Chaos being harder. This star can be separated into the top half and bottom half of coins in my opinion, with the top half being where the majority of the hardest parts are. The bottom half still does its part to contribute to the difficulty though with lots of reclimbs padding the length of the star. There are some place where you can fall down and still save the attempt (like what happened at 4:08, leading me to have a weird route in this attempt) but this level is by no means merciful. I had some pretty painful chokes at 32/33, 27/33, and 26/33, all on different routes.
There were some really frustrating and disheartening moments in the 10-11 hours of attempts I took to get this (plus idk 3-5 more in practice?) but it was a lot better than something like SNR C13 reds due to the routing options and not having a long, drawn-out forced ending. I'm rating this one a 6.5 for now, it's very on the border of low tier 7/high tier 6." ~ MorningStormSM64
