Hey, my guide didn't have anything to do with this, did it? :D
I knew about all that stuff, but I haven't tried doing the whole game without the shoes.
I'll think about getting the shoes but not using them (except to destroy the monkey guard).
From there, it should be really easy.

Yeah, there's nothing to it. There are just a few parts that would need the shoes,
but skipping them with long jumps is basic time-attack stuff.
