Is it possible to get every secret on first pass?

[Pogo]

or do you have to revisit levels with new abilities etc?

[tminator64]

Yes, you can technically do everything on the first pass (assuming you beat the tutorial quickly enough for instant access to the 2nd lap as well).

There are no unlockable abilites, you just learn new skills. Most if not all of the secrets are able to be found without knowing any advanced techniques.

With little exception, they're marked by an eye symbol (that can blend into the background if you're not paying attention), or by something else that looks suspicious. I'm pretty sure all of them have some marking or another, you just need to learn to figure out what's normal background graphics and what's supposed to indicate a secret.

only thing you can't get on your first try is a perfect rank because they require you to beat a level once to unlock the second lap. everything else is technically possible but you'd have to be some kind of god gamer

Actually, if you manage to beat the tutorial under 2 minutes all the lap 2 portals unlock (assuming you do this at the start of a new file)

You can unlock it after you've played the tutorial, if you want. Though there's really no reason to do it before you've played the game through already since you're probably not going to get through lap 2 without finishing the level before.

What about achievements? is it possible to get every achievement your first time through, and p rank all in the same run?

You mean all of them without replaying any levels? Probably, I just imagine some of them would be pretty difficult.

John Gutter is impossible because there's no way in hell anyone could p rank and get under 2 minutes in the same run
Saloon is impossible because of lap 2 locking the button achievement
Don't make a sound is impossible because the secrets raise the amount of mandatory alarms to a number too high

Everything else is very possible but levels like WAR or bloodsauce are wild as hell and require insane skill to 100% in one run

bloodsauce seems easy though idk what you mean, it's one of the few that seem like you can easily get them in a normal run

Sorry for the bump but I was very wrong
Fast food saloon button achievement is very possible as long as you use basic critical thinking skills, and secrets don’t count towards the alarms in dont make a sound

Getting all tasks and an S rank or P rank in Bloodsauce within 1 run is considered hard as balls. The majority of players struggle with getting these tasks in general more than they do with nearly any other task in the game.

Thanks for mentioning that, I saw a speedrun and was wondering why people were able to do lap 2 on first visit, this wasn't explained anywhere, even checked speedrunning guides and resources, nothing

Yeah, I just saw it in some youtube comments that it can just happen, then I think the Wiki also says it.

But yeah, you do it quickly and then some text at the bottom after finishing the tutorial says that "You unlocked the 2nd lap on all level!" or something like that.

Avoiding all saws is as simple as not sprinting in areas with saws. Not getting hit by lava is as easy as paying attention to where the lava is. Eruption man is literally free. Now, getting those in ADDITION to the p rank is hard, but that's only because of the third secret, and to be honest the secret can be done without getting hit relatively easily if you practice it a little.

3rd secret is just a test of patience, it looks a lot at first but most of the time you only just walk past 1-2 pizza cutters at a time and theres plenty of pickups to keep the meter up
