This run aims to beat Castlevania: Symphony of the Night as fast as possible without going out of bounds. There is a glitch abused that skips Richter to reach the inverted castle early, but I stay in-bounds when doing that. This run was done on an XBox 360 console without the use of turbo or any cheat devices. If you have any questions about how I did something in the run, please refer to my run notes on the SDA page and listen to the audio commentary. If your question still isn't answered after that, feel free to ask me here.

This is a run from early December that I had sitting around on my hard drive. I havent worked on the category lately, so I figured Id upload the best run I have so far. This category only came into existence so I could do something a little different for the game at SGDQ 2011, and I pretty much have routed the whole thing myself since then. This is a category that has been raced pretty often on SRL, so at least it has some competition going through there.
Update: this run focused on the in-game timer instead of real time and had an in-game time of 36:09. By this point, that in-game time has since been beaten in real time lol. So yea this run is pretty outdated.")

This is the WR as of 9/18/2012. This beats my previous in-game time by 14 seconds. The real time of this run is 19:46, making it the first console run of SotN to complete the game in under 20 minutes. This time should prove to be fairly tough to beat, even with all the time I lost at the Richter skip. Sub-19 for the in-game time is definitely possible.")
