Edit: This is no longer world record. nng12 currently holds the record (as of 4/26) with a time of 57.945. Go check it out: twitter.com/nng12_/status/1783907598103941618
A few days ago, I had the thought that it would be cool to do a deathless run on this level. I didn't know if I was actually capable of doing it or not, though, so I started doing speedruns to see how consistent I could get. My PB quickly dropped from 5 minutes to just under 2 minutes, and soon after that I unexpectedly got a time of 1:33.704, just half a second behind world record at the time. Even though it wasn't my original goal, this motivated me to go for world record at the same time as deathless. I eventually got the record with a time of 1:27.145, dying 3 times during the run in total. I wasn't ready to stop yet, however, as I had made up my mind to try and get world record and deathless in the same run. Little did I know what a brutal grind I would be in for. I had to play for around 14 hours in total over the course of 2 days to get this run, and I died almost 20 times on the final screen in the process. This is by far the hardest thing I've done in platformer mode yet, and I'm immensely proud of this achievement. I have no plans to improve this time, so good luck to anyone that attempts to beat it!
Note that the song is edited in, as I turned off the music to help me focus. This is also why there are no pulses. I'd also like to clarify that I'm not the first to do a deathless run of this level (although I believe I'm the second). This person was first: youtube.com/watch?v=kCLPYbtMKG0&ab_channel=lapla
Lastly, shoutout to RobTop for improving platformer physics. This run wouldn't have been possible without the new physics.
