well this was taken a little more seriously this time as per request. it was told to me before that there was something weird with my emulator speed? i put the frame rate in the bottom corner if that helps at all? Not a great run but everyone needs a starting point.

Mod comment: This run has been switched because it was submitted in the wrong category. In hard mode, you are supposed to die in one hit to almost everything in the game. I am going to assume that due to that not being the case in your run and due to the frame rate being stuck at 50 fps and fluctuating around that number, that this run was done on the PAL version of the game. Hard difficulty in the PAL version is equal to Easy difficulty on the US version and the leaderboard revolves around the difficulties being the proper equivalent to their US counterpart.
