First 19:1x and a well-optimized run for this category! My last PB in this category was set in August of 2019 and it stood as the WR and only sub 20 all the way until just last month. Because of that, I decided to come back and actually put together an optimized run. This would have been a 19:12 if I didnt lose a framerule in 8-2 and have a slow 8-4, but every other level was perfectly executed for the strats I was going for. The fastest time you can get without any FPGs (as far as Im currently aware) is a low 19:12, so further timesaves in this category will be quite scarce. I at least want a 19:11 some day, but beyond that, Im not sure how realistic further improvement will be.

Welp just casually got a 4 frame improvement to the WR on my literal first attempt after not playing for 2 weeks so thats cool lol. Also the very next run after this made it to Bowser a few frames faster but got a bad pattern and died .2 seconds from the axe. Craziest start to a session ever. The 6:14 continues to mock me though.
