I tried again in bizhawk and it didn't freeze 😩

I think you are not interested anymore lol, but I guess "All Hearts" could be interesting.

You have to hold right and press A (duck) on the green rock in the little passage to make the weird sprites.

I tested holding right and duck until the time finishes, lost some lives and then, game over and it didn't freeze.

"after an inconsistent amount of time, the game freezes" Did you die and try again and again until the game freezes? Or it froze just by walking on the rock?

I don't know why, but you can activate it in the menu. Unfortunately, you have to change it every time you reset the game.

I decided to delete my debug run. It's better to have only the Beat the Game category with the rules. What do you think?

As I said, there were no rules and other category. That's why I made that commentary in my "Beat the Game" run. I apologize as well.

Yes, I agree that it is not the same run. But now, I found a real glitch that saves a lot of time.

The magic carpet token saves 4 or 5 seconds over the best RNG. It's a frame perfect glitch. After you put the stair token in the box, try to change it pressing L.

The hook glitch it's the same thing, but a frame after the magic carpet. It saves 13 seconds over my best pinkenstein.

Can we use these glitches in the Beat the Game category?

When I submitted my first run, the game had only one category (Beat the Game) with no rules. I always research about the game before I start to speedrun it. I saw on gamefaqs that you can skip stages by simply pressing start and select, and I made a new route based on this.

Now, can you explain why you did another category for my run in a game with 3 runners? Why did you decide it's a debug feature? You can mail me the explanation card drawn with crayon you offered me in your "mod reply" that you deleted.

Thanks.
