I have fond memories from the early days of the game. I had met a Japanese girl online who was going to visit me for two weeks. To my surprise, she was also playing Cookie Run. She seemed to always be ahead of me in terms of levels (she was playing while I was busy doing my thesis work) but I always beat her scores, so we always kept challenging each other like that. I've been trying to dig through our Line conversations to see if I could find any interesting screenshots, but alas, Line deletes them after a certain amount of time...

I used Zombie Cookie for a long time since I only had a few friends on Line and didn't want to cheat my way up. Having a few million points as high score and then I didn't dare to try to beat that for a long time since I always wanted to be ready for the "I vs I Challenges". I didn't want to spend Crystals more than I had to - paying 100 for expanding the treasure cabinet was simply too much so I decided to upgrade some coin-generating treasures instead. My first S-Class cookie was Special Force Cookie since it seemed so "cool" to destroy the obstacles and gain a few extra points. Then it took me about a week just to get one of the others, slowly grinding my way up with the coins. The huge breakthrough was getting the Gold Drop pet and as others have mentioned, the Magnetic Aura. Once I had those fully upgraded, I could finally start getting the rest of the cookies. S-grade pets were still a mystery for me since I never had enough crystals. Can't remember which ones I used for running, though...
