Grondious | Eagle Island Twist - All Bosses Speedrun in 37:43 (IGT) @Grondious | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 8 minutes ago.
Really happy with this run! It's amazing how far this time has been pushed down with the Twist DLC only having been out a month and I definitely have to thank AssasinNarga a lot for helping out a bunch with the All Bosses routing and also of course thanks to Belial_13 and SortOfAlpha for chipping in some great ideas and strats too.
There's actually quite a bit of tech in this run already so if anyone is actually interested in that feel free to ask me down in the comment section below or message me on Twitch or Discord which I will have links to those things down below.
For people that are seeing this game for the first time, I highly recommend checking it out if it looks interesting to you. Here is the steam link but it is on Switch as well store.steampowered.com/app/681110/Eagle_Island_Twist

I finally achieved my goal in this game of beating the Expert difficulty TAS [Tool-assisted speedrun] in real-time!
The expert difficulty gives you less HP so you lose time to not damage boosting as much, so while its not a fair comparison to the easy difficulty me and so far all real-time runners have ran on, performing the fastest ever speedrun of this game even including the TAS become a cool goal to strive towards and it definitely had me push this speedrun a lot further than I would have.
Check out the TAS here as well if youre interested, I learned so much from it and its a great showcase of the game on Expert difficulty - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V4uhh7gZBs
For people who havent seen this game before, its a bit of a silly jank game from the SNES that I played and enjoyed as a kid. I revisited it to speedrun it and found out that its actually a very fun speedrun with tons of optimizations and interesting tech to move Dirk through the stages as quick as possible, using your health as a massively useful resource to damage boost and skip large portions of levels. Sometimes even damage boosting off your own windmill shuriken, because yes it boomerangs back and hits you lol.
I hope you all enjoy this run that I somehow got on exactly my 1,000th attempt!
