This is a speedrun of a Special Episode in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Special Episodes are short stories that follow some of the side characters in the game.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon speedruns are already fairly RNG heavy, and the short nature of Special Episodes makes for a speedrun that is particularly reliant on good luck for a good time. I've been running this special episode on the side while grinding out Any% WM and got what feels like a pretty good time.

Hell yeah!
Really good run indeed. A few not-so-great fights (0:35 Werner, 0:58 train and a few more) but the whole run is really solid everywhere else. Got bee RNG too. I dont know how much time this run will last, but Im sure itll be very hard to beat regardless, bar new big discoveries.

Man, I wouldve loved a deathless run. While this time is solid and the run showcases the category pretty well, the fact that I had a death means that I might one day have to revisit it.

A few notable time losses but overall this is a really good time! Though dont do what I did in the shop. The best thing to do in shop 2 is to buy 4 charms up until whetstone so that shop 3 can be really fast, but of course me being me for whatever reason I shop glitched immediately and I could only buy up to coffee. Not a huge time loss but probably the silliest mistake of the run.

After spending about 10 months running this game and category fairly actively, I finally got a WR time that Im happy with. This has been by far the run that Ive put the most amount of time and effort into thus far, so the satisfaction that comes from this is particularly high. In addition, this was the first World Record run to ever implement the mega difficult Gusty Glade Wrong Warp, which killed so many of my attempts before this one. I am not going to be attempting another PB in this category in the near future, although I have a feeling I will try to beat this time some day. Ill be moving on to other games and other categories before then.
This video is the run as it happened in real time, broadcasted live on my Twitch channel.
