Hello! This is my Chakan TAS that I said was discontinued but then found a workaround and managed to complete. Enjoy!
This is a 19852 frame (05:30.87) improvement over the previous submission due to a new glitch and several optimizations.

Tricks/Glitches

Infinite Double Jump This is by far the highlight of the run. By attacking for one frame and then doing a jump while holding up, you are able to do another jump in the air. This helps skip large chunks of the game, especially the air stages. This glitch also works with the grapple since its the only other weapon in the game that allows you to perform a double jump.
New Speed Management Sometimes when you do a slide, your speed decreases slowly over time. By doing a lttle adjustments, I was able to get constant speed in a lot more places in the run. This can be seen in the first Earth Stage.

Closing Comments

This was quite relaxing to do. At first it seemed like it would be a drag to do since this game is 30 FPS. But once I tried it out for a bit, It got suprisingly enjoyable. It was also nice to take a short break from making the new Sonic 2 run since there arent so many things I have to worry about.
Also, Shoutouts to Wulf for finding the double jump glitch in the first place. Without his discovery, not nearly this much time could have been saved.

Perhaps it's a tad too obvious, but your run is really funny with this on in the background. Link to video It's as if the Katamari ball just decided one to day to fuck that stupid Prince and his stupid drunken dad, get a body of his own and roll around killing shit. Yes vote.

The sound effects for this game sound a lot like the Taz games on Genesis. More Taz Mania than Escape From Mars.
