Just as Lunatea's Veil, here's a thread dedicated to those very old Balue's Tower records.

1:42.03 (with clock abuse) 2007

1:45.51 (without clock abuse) well that one isn't really old, but it's still noteworthy

I remember the second one being overall a tiny extra bit faster than the execution of the 1:42.03, but that doesn't mean it's much harder to beat back because of the new strats and game knowledge

Downloaded the second one as well.

Edit : Well I downloaded the Nico one after learning how to. When it'll go down, I'll upload mine

Small update to the thread.

There is further information about the old days of running the extra vision : https://klonoa-at-blog.tumblr.com/post/184622930490/balues-tower-time-attack-challenge-from-dengeki

We lack a proper timeline for these, on top of an obvious lack of video to go by. All that is known for sure is that these were made before April 1998.

The 2007 VHS time was apparently submitted and was the winner of another extra vision contest, held on the DPSコロシアム (katakana for Colosseum) magazine. As far as I know, there is no info about this anywhere online.

We also added these two times to the leaderboard. Read the run comments for more information.
