It's a little less consistent due to needing to time the bubble jumps just right but you can save 2 seconds by playing level 8 instead of level 9.

I know no one cares about this game but I've been speed running it on the 3DO and noticed it's a very different game than the SNES version. It has twice as many levels and three times as many objectives to collect for 100%. The objectives are also in different locations there are some different enemies and the ball controls differently. I'm grinding my first run to post but it looks like it'll be around ~38 minutes with all the extra levels. I think the 3DO and Jaguar consoles should get their own category. Or maybe a true 100% run since it's different than Good Ending%
