I finally achieved my goal in this game of beating the Expert difficulty TAS [Tool-assisted speedrun] in real-time!

The expert difficulty gives you less HP so you lose time to not damage boosting as much, so while it's not a fair comparison to the easy difficulty me and so far all real-time runners have ran on, performing the fastest ever speedrun of this game even including the TAS become a cool goal to strive towards and it definitely had me push this speedrun a lot further than I would have.

Check out the TAS here as well if you're interested, I learned so much from it and it's a great showcase of the game on Expert difficulty - youtube.com/watch?v=5V4uhh7gZBs

For people who haven't seen this game before, it's a bit of a silly jank game from the SNES that I played and enjoyed as a kid. I revisited it to speedrun it and found out that it's actually a very fun speedrun with tons of optimizations and interesting tech to move Dirk through the stages as quick as possible, using your health as a massively useful resource to damage boost and skip large portions of levels. Sometimes even damage boosting off your own windmill shuriken, because yes it boomerangs back and hits you lol.

I hope you all enjoy this run that I somehow got on exactly my 1,000th attempt!
