Informal competition has confirmed the difficulty of this route compared to the any% route.Doing the redline route in Expert Mode is the greatest possible 'Pure Speed' achievement in a single playthrough.This route shares almost nothing in common with the any% route.The route leads to the real ending and the any% route does not.This route is created by earning a Mission Accomplished on every mission (as opposed to 'Mission Complete').The 'redline route' is CO-SY-AQ-ZO-SZ-A6-VE, which is designated by the game as the hardest route with red paths connecting those levels.Now, how exactly does Expert Redline count as it's own category? There was much discussion in the thread, but the basic premise is this: After a few days of repeated attempts I finally nailed this very snazzy 35:35 in Expert Mode. For the Redline category to make sense I figured the run submitted for it would need to be significantly faster than the redline portion of the 100% run, so I went to work. In the end, my final 100% run contained a redline portion that was 35:43 with earning all the medals and it being Expert Mode. After being well into my 100% run a while later I went back and did a redline run for fun.

Seeing the competition going on with the redline run and the discussion about further Star Fox 64 categories gave me the idea for my 100% run. The Redline Run Forum Topic was in fact the first Star Fox speedrun forum I found. Thanks to TSA for speedrunning the game first.Thanks are due to Sir VG, StrangenessDSS, and SuperCoolAl for their activity in the Redline discussion topic where this all got started.Big thanks to InsipidMuckyWater who enthusiastically supported my Star Fox 64 speedrunning efforts.Thanks also to Mike Uyama and DJGrenola - SDA's cup overflows.Thank you Radix for all that you do to make SDA awesome!.Thank you Nate for your unparalled prowess at being.Nate.
