It has come to my attention that our first Kurochute puzzle was solvable without use of one of the rules. This just will not do 😤 at GAPP HQ we aim to give the solver a complete experience, to use all the rules! Let us ignore my Scrin, that silly rule doesn't count >_>

So today for Supersized Saturday I've gone to make just that!
(If you'd like to get a hint as to what rule was avoidable before, go try Freddie's wonderful first outing as a lil' warm-up, he also gave some good pointers about how to solve these efficiently: Archive: Monday, 11 April 2022 It was a conscious decision to not focus on a particular rule, I'm just seizing the opportunity to give a good reason to make another shading type 😛)

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and mean that there must exist exactly one shaded cell with the indicated distance in a straight line vertically or horizontally from the clue

A flawless solve running at 3:30 or less gets a Speedy Sloth 🦥
Take it all in and finish in 7:45 or faster for a Quick Crab 🦀
And any complete experience that gives a complete solution, wins you a Comprehensive Red-Tailed Comet 🐦
