periwinkle | (51:34) Cave Story Normal Ending speedrun @periwinkle. | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Personal best from 2020/06/06 to 2021/02/10.
Felt like doing something shorter/easier than Best Ending for a change of pace and got this run. It's pretty alright, I suppose.
The Normal and Bad Ending categories are less optimized than Best Ending is, mainly because the top runners of those categories also primarily run Best Ending, and if you're one of those runners on an insane pace in the early- to mid-game, then that opportunity would be better spent trying to convert it into a new Best Ending PB, rather than "throwing away" the run to Normal or Bad Ending. Still, seeing how the world records for Normal Ending (50:44 by magmapeach) and Bad Ending (40:33 by magmapeach) are within my reach, it's pretty tempting to try to push for those records. That'll be on my bucket list for a later time, though.
