Exact time is 8:20.767 (Writing that in case milliseconds are needed at some point).

I ran this game because the sequel is already on SRC, and surprisingly not this one. It was fun to figure out the most optimal route possible, and find new stuff during this session. It's a very hard run to optimize in terms of movements though, mainly because of the clunky movements (Especially it lacks coyote jump).

This first submission is far from perfect, I had a certain amount of mistakes, but I'm still happy to submit that as a first run on the board. The worst part was the two snakes fight (Screen known as "no mercy"). I died a few times, and I had bad RNG on the second snake's boulders (I'd be glad if we figure out we can manipulate that).

I'd love to see more skilled runners optimizing this run even more and making it a crazy spectacle.

Here are a few tricks to help new runners:

• "Fast Climbing": It works on controller, I don't know if it does on keyboard. When climbing a vine, if you input up or down on both analog stick and D-pad, you're gonna climb faster (It doesn't work on the ground).

• Use of invincibility frames: When you die, you are invincible for a short period. I mainly used it to go through slow cycles (Great early example is the screen named "batter up").

• Death Warping: On each screen, you'll always respawn on the same side (Left or Right). You can use that to go through certain screens faster (For instance, I use Death Warping on the second and third screens, when I visit them for the third and last time, as you can see on the 05:18 timestamp of the video).
