This was a really fun run but not without mistakes. I never thought I'd get top RTA time when I started running in July of '23 so I was super excited and speechless at the end of the run. I absolutely couldn't have done it without Intharth's and the community's help. Red Faction has a very helpful, friendly community and I'm glad I decided to try my hand at speed running one of my favorite games from my childhood. I will keep running it though as my main run to try to improve my time.

I was able to put in a new trick from the PC runs in Capek's Cavern: blowing a hole in the side wall at the start of the level to jump from one side to the other bypassing the corridor with the creatures.

Time losses:

• I missed killing one of the four guards at the end of the Aesir section on my first pass leading to some confusion until I realized he was still alive.
• I wasn't able to drop down into the creature pit in Capek's Caverns due to splash damage from the previous Geo-Mod staircase (the fall would've likely killed me)
