World record, and I almost had a sub 1:03 with this run!
[Current Patch - Rookie Mode - No Turbo - Single File]
This run was played live on my Youtube channel and also my Twitch channel (twitch.tv/arkkandy).
Now that I've pushed the sob down I can see 1:02 happening very soon. If I could just remove any one mistake from the run, that would just do it.
A 1:01 is also on the far horizon but it's too early to say if that's actually feasible. Perhaps we'll see this category reaching sub-hour levels over the next year!
Cheers!

Like and susbcribe!
In single file were not allowed to use another file to setup bomuhey early on, so the early game is very similar to NMG categories. (For now)
This run is one of the better world records Ive scored. Very good run, played almost every split close to gold, and stayed very close to my sum of best throughout. Quite happy with this. :)

[Any% NMG - played in v2.1.0]
[Normal / No Turbo / Digital]
Screw Attack Short Boost (SASB) Route
Solid run overall. More consistent play than usual for me. I was quite happy with this run, especially in a race setting, but theres still a lot of time to save!
Notable feats:
* 1st try short boost
* Yellow emmi bad spawn, two strats used to avoid emmi
Timesaves for next time:
* Early game (Up until speedbooster) can still be a lot faster
* Corpious and Kraid fights
* Small time losses in Varia Suit, Speedbooster, Enter Ghavoran, Ice Missile, Wave Beam, Enter Itorash

The first sub hour run ever in the Any% Unrestricted Current Patch category! :)
Metroid Dread Speedrun
[Any% Unrestricted - Current Patch - v1.0.2]
[Normal / No Turbo / Digital]
Early Gravity + Storm Skip route
Very solid run. Biggest time loss happened in Raven Beak, failing the fast gold skip cost about 30s. Other than that theres time to save in the early game to better movement / pseudos / fights, and sloppy mistakes in the 2nd half.
Notable feats:
* Didnt get snapback in Hanubia :)
* Trick gauntlet in the 2nd half was really good
* Storm skip was CLEAN
Timesaves for next time:
* 30s fast gold skip
* Better early game
