Run Time: 11m28s
Run Skill: Some dexterity required
Run Category: Any%
While requiring a bit of practice and dexterity, this is a good route to start with if you're thinking about learning how to speedrun this game. The thing to keep in mind is that if you lose spread shot within the first two levels, you're better off resetting and trying again.
While the spread shot is easily the go to gun in this game, the real trick is learning how to trick the game into narrow the spread by shooting offscreen for a moment before aiming at your target. When you're in a top-down base level, it's easier to obtain this rhythm after shooting low barrels.
Once you get the hang of things, be sure to check out runs by Angrylanks, DK28, and TheMexicanRunner.
One thing to keep in mind when fighting bosses above you is to jump when you can safely do so.
Made using RetroArch, ScaleFX, 4XSoft, Audacity, and Open Broadcast Software.

Megaman 2 for the NES (Capcom 1989)
This is a hacked version of Megaman 2, it adds ammo to most of the weapons and adds changes to Time Stopper, Crash Bombs, and Leaf Shield.
It makes the game a breeze until the final boss, where the tweaks become questionable as the author decided to limit you of the only ammo usable on the final boss. You have just enough ammo to beat him.
Run Time: 32m47s
Run Skill Level: Absolute cakewalk until final boss, then it becomes a real mess.
Played on Bizhawk 2.2.1 using 4xBRZ")
