the wonkiest of runs, really lol i just found out that speedrun.com has a category for fastest P4 (max) lives in super mario bros. 2.. so, given that i have the very rare skill of getting the 5-ups consistently (sorta), i though i'd give it a go! because i did the run on an emulator, i went in with NO STRATEGY whatsoever- i'll do a more serious and planned-out run when i acquire hardware. still, this awful run almost made sub-25min!
