The aim here it to beat the final boss "any ol' how". This
run does not collect all the bonus rooms (it's not a 101%
run). It doesn't even enter all levels - it uses the warp
glitch from the first world that leads onto the second-last
level in world 3 (it's a well known glitch).
- uses warps.
- necessary items/route only.
- takes damage to save time.
The in-game time is 22 minutes and 18.8 seconds (shown as
0:22 because the game doesn't display seconds, but it still
keeps track of them internally).
The re-recount count is exaggerated - I had to redo all of
the last world because of a de-synching in Blackout
Basement. The actual count is around 4000.
This (a small re-record count) means that I wasn't as picky
about saving 1 or 2 frames here and there, especially in the
last world - it was over 100 frames slower that what I
initially had for it. So I suspect that this run is
improvable by 0.5% or maybe even 1%.
Strategy Acknowledgements:
- Alexis Neuhaus - a few nice tricks in some of the very first levels, which I shamelessly stole.
- Deviance, Michael Fried, Snapdragon - same reasons as the 101% 39 minute run, since the level strategies are almost the same between both runs.
