Getting to 2 years since I last ran this, it was time to return. Wanted to beat the world record that had beat my previous WR by 1 minute. I managed to achieve that with a pretty solid improvement, lowering the record by 19 minutes.

The run itself was a fun challenge to do again. I've definitely improved since the first run. But funnily enough, I also have moved away from Deluxe for the most part over the past year or so, and have limited strats and practise with it nowadays. Still did pretty solid despite that.

I didn't have any levels that kept me too long, taking at most about 4 minutes on a couple levels. However, the outlier was Zen Frog that took over 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I actually could have beaten it on my 2nd proper attempt, in less than 3 minutes, but I very narrowly missed the last orange on my last shot of that attempt, and it was a mess after that.

After notable things were that there was no game crash on the helix (12-5) this time (last time it happened from hitting two space blasts with a purple in the middle), and also, I beat the helix with no strats, just raw Warren, which was pretty hype. But yeah, I did it!
