This level might be the one I put the most attempts into. I have a total of 11 recorded successful attempts, no idea how many failed ones there were though.
It was the player peak at 26 seconds that was urging me to try again until I finally beat it.
With this, the next Ninji Speedrun will be whenever the 16th run starts. For now, I dunno what I'll be uploading next. Probably some generally pointless game bug videos since I have a million of those laying about.
Just in case I don't upload more videos in the remaining 10-11ish days, I wish you all happy holidays.

Luigi 120 Stars: Youre here.
I skip talking to optional characters and go through dialogue fast in this playthrough since its mostly the same as with Mario.
This is the second stream of a two-parter stream split between two days, the first [Mario] was 120 Stars as Mario ending with the storybook (with the Epilogue), and the second [Luigi] being 120 Stars with Luigi, ending with Grand Finale Galaxy.
I wasnt 100% sure if Id feel up for replaying the game for what would be the fourth time this week, but I did.

Named All Events Playthrough instead of 100% because I personally would count all chests as 100%, and I knew for a fact I wouldnt remember all of them. Right off the top of my head I already know I missed the Charity Square 10,000 Year Old and Million Year Old Chests.
Tomba! was something I had in consideration even for just recording boss videos as early as 2007. I have a test recording that I never uploaded because of the terrible quality and the fact that I didnt feel like redoing the whole game back then. As a whole playthrough, its one of those games thats better in one chunk than split into parts due to its open-endedness.
This specific stream went very well, I expected to have several stupid deaths, but having only one in the entire run is perfect, since it can work as a demonstration of what it looks like. Obviously, a deathless run would have been great too. There was a bit of a pause at one point because I totally forgot the Lava Caves entrance had a chest, but otherwise my memory was surprisingly helpful.
As noted in the stream description, I opted to use the original soundtrack because the remastered soundtrack currently suffers from playback issues. Tracks loop incorrectly, the intro is part of the loop, and areas such as the purified Haunted Mansion have a bug where the music stops playing if you enter an interior and leave.
This re-release is okay, the museum is great and the game ran decent enough. Its quite lacking in features otherwise, theres not even a way to adjust volume and the FMVs are LOUD.
Live notification was just a random TES quote because I couldnt think of anything else. For the stream title I considered making some dumb sus joke before deciding against it.

The PS3 emulation bugs never been as actively against me in this game as it was during this playthrough. From my understanding, if you hear a bullet impact sound when the audio mutes, it will fix itself if you just die in the level. If it mutes without any other audio playing, you have to reset. The reason I reset on the last level despite having ambience was because the bug mutes the ending of the last level, making it really awkward and anti-climactic.
I regret bumping down the music unnecessarily. My headphones broke recently, and the backup pairs audio quality is so bad that it made listening to enemies harder. Also it was a very low effort attempt at avoiding potential mutes, though there seemingly were none.
For a while before doing the streams for these games, I considered going for a 3-star playthrough, but it isnt a very fun challenge. You always get one star for completing the level, you earn another one if you finish it with your health above 75%, and you can earn one more by killing at least 95% of the enemies. This would obviously just slow things down as youd need to hunt down every enemy and healthkit.
The stream title was a reference to the games super cheat that unlocks everything when followed with URLINGAMBE and scrolling through the photo gallery.

Live Notification: Sir, I need to see some identification. INTRUDER! ALARM!
Stream Description: Physical PAL Platinum release of Medal of Honor, played on a PS3. The PS3 struggles emulating this and Underground properly, which is why I explode myself at the start of some levels. Theres a bug that makes levels unbeatable by breaking the data streaming for levels or something. When you hear the music and ambience suddenly mute at the start of a level, thats an indicator of the bug happening.
Getting 3 stars tends to take more time, so Im not going to bother with the ranks. Im really rusty with controller aim, so Im hoping its not going to get too embarrassing.

Dragon Scroll: Yomigaerishi Maryuu (ドラゴンスクロール 甦りし魔竜), or Dragon Scroll: Resurrection of the Demon Dragon in this translation, is a Japan-only Famicom action RPG, released by Konami in 1987. Its actually a very fun game, with only a couple overly cryptic secrets in it.
There are some easter eggs I missed at the end of this playthrough, heres a video of them if you wanna check them out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c2gb9KAa0c
This is the 2008 fan translation by KingMike (Hacking), Eien Ni Hen (Translation) and FlashPV (Design). You can check it out here: https://www.romhacking.net/translations/1267/
Since there are no clear spots for chapter splits, the chapters will mostly have the name of a notable event occurring at the start of that chapter. Considering the path I mapped out is (intentionally) all over the place, I figured having these chapters would help people skim when and where in the video a specific item is acquired. Basically, click chapter, rewind until you find a familiar spot, and go from there.
This playthrough went pretty well. A lot of stuff that could have gone wrong didnt. I was worried if I was overdoing some of the monster farming bits, but considering how fortuitous the last level up was, I think it was worth it. Thanks to that, the only game over was the intentional one, which I wanted to do just as a quick demonstration of the game over screen. All it does is respawn you with half your max MP, and I knew I could restore it soon enough. I also got insanely lucky placement with the Castor boss.
Oh, and happy holidays if you happen to be reading this around the upload date, or around the same time in the future.

Stream Title: Eight Books, Zero Scrolls
Live Notification: Brigands I can handle, but this talk of dragons? Worlds gone mad, I say.
Stream Description: Dragon Scroll is a rather obscure 1987 Konami title. Its a Zelda-esque action RPG telling a story of dragons, magic and warring kingdoms. It was never officially translated, so Im using the only fan-translation, credited to KingMike, Eien Ni Hen and FlashPV. Its got some typos and other errors, but its mostly solid.
Thisll be a regular playthrough, I wont go through every secret or find every hint, but I will try to cover as much as I can on the path Ive written down. Approx 1.5 hours if nothing goes wrong.
