Pretty close to current world record of 24:30 by luigi100. There were a few bad fights that cost me severely so hopefully I can get a better time in the future.

There were a couple of serious setbacks in this run (terrible werewolf rng in level 5, second try spear knight boost in level 7) but most of this run is pretty darn solid otherwise. Happy with the improvement in this game since 2020.

Solid. A few time losses here and there (the biggest one being missing the phase 2 skip on Ribby and Croaks) so the time could go lower.

Jump: Right Bumper
Shoot: X
Ex Shoot: Left Trigger

This is a Tool-Assisted Speedrun. This means that I used tools such as save states and frame-by-frame advancement to achieve this run.
This is my first attempt at a TAS, so theres bound to be a few mistakes. In fact, while rewatching the run I noticed a couple spots where I couldve saved some frames. But Im content with how this turned out overall.
I made this run with the purpose to show what the Any% run would look like if the strategies that RTA runners use were executed perfectly. The final time is a bit lower than I expected, which is pretty cool.

4-cycle Brineybeard, 3rd try monkey skip. Really good run outside of that. Sub-31 might be barely possible.
No input viewer this time around, my usual controller broke so Im temporarily using a gamecube controller, and I couldnt get the input display to work with that.")

Its been discovered that its possible to one-cycle the slot machine phase with the tigers attack, thus skipping about 8 seconds of invincibility. This means that theres no way to combine this with the quick transition, which requires the use of a lot of spread Exs, since you need super cards in order to even have a shot at 1-cycling tigers. The time save from the 1-cycle is regardless still enough to make up for the longer phase 1 & 2.")
