120 Star (pre-1.2) in 9h 22m 51s by
Description

Small note, on a gameover in C5 i briefly pressed f4 but reset right after to avoid gaining any advantage from it.

I went into this run expecting to finish it with the use of savestates. But the further I got, the more possible a savestateless completion seemed - until Saltguy made me realize that I only needed 3 more stars to be very confident in my chances.

Very slow run but that can be changed, what stays is that I managed to finish a run with 120 of the 161 available stars (not counting TD), 12 more non-Finale stars than on 1.2.

I had designated 5 stars as backup stars and ended up using 3 of them - B2 inside, C3 secrets, and OW1 reds - in place of C10 slope, WWM yellow, and C13 hidden.
