Hey, do the levels have to be played in order 1-2-3? I haven't watched all the runs but I'm assuming everyone plays them in order. Perfect Fit has runs on the board that start with Level 3 or Level 2 so I figured this one might be the same.
Quick example of the CLUB MED manip. Hold Select+A+B on the p1 controller while holding Start+A on p2 controller. You have to be holding all of those as the game boots up and during the entire player select screen through puzzle selection. It works with just A on the p2 controller but the window for getting it seems to be way bigger with Start+A.
Timing can vary a lot and there are a handful of puzzles you can get (MOISHE DAYAN is another common one) but Club Med seems to be the most common with this setup.
This is easier if you tape the controllers together or put the p2 controller on the floor and step on it strategically to hold Start+A. You do you.
Wheel RNG is wild.
I made this tutorial back in March. This explains the pause-buffering technique I use in my Game B 100k run. This also applies to Game A but slightly differently.
Good luck and please get a 1:30 in Game B.
I'm not sure if anyone else is doing this, but I found a route to finish stage 1 with 0 extra energy instead of 7.
This can also be done on stages 2 and 3.
It should end up being a considerable time save over the course of the run.
