This might be my best run at this game so far, especially with a slow-fast Phantoon which you could consider merely average. Only failing to get Plasma spark irks me a little while all other mistakes were minor. It's possible I try to beat this soon and I'll be using a small handful of timesaves and hopefully get a tad more lucky with Phantoon to try and get this down to a 42:1x. For me this run/route has a lot of history and prestige associated with it so getting this was very rewarding to come full circle and attack it with all the knowledge and experience after many years with this game. Big shoutouts to zoasty for setting the bar so incredibly high.

This game is awesome, the music especially.
Decided to run this as a pleasant side quest away from SM as it was another game from my childhood. As it stands I ended up putting a ton of time into it, using the TAS done by CoolJay in 19 minutes and 18 seconds as a reference for much of the movement and strats, barring the insane stuff. I narrowly missed out on a 21:1x here if Id just played a bit more risky in the final level not collecting a body armour and not getting screwed by a few little things but thats ok. A 20 should be possible with a dedicated lengthy grind and if the player has crazy consistency with the frame perfect rope jumping and some other stuff maybe but otherwise pretty happy with this achieving the goal of sub 2130.
Also I should point out level 1 (Docks) is by far the most volatile with the RNG where the run can die in a variety of ways. The resets were mounting up and I started getting irritated badly. Eventually I started continuing runs with less than steller paces. This pace out of Docks was one of those where my gold is a full 10 seconds faster than this. Had this been in the red I mightve been tempted to reset. My golds on Sewers and Shopping Mall are also 5 seconds better than those in this run, while Police Station was just 2 seconds slower than gold. Apartments was the standout here with the gold but fun fact, I actually golded this level in the previous run with a slightly faster pace, -12. I ended up softlocking in the Sewers after a gunner shot me clipping me into a wall where I couldnt move. Incredibly bad luck! This follow up gold and finished run was a bit of redemption.")
