Played for the SFL-thanks to the crew for your help and encouragement! AVS/Everdrive Pro. Run starts at around 0:20. On the top left is our old PB video being shown. Final time 20:28

Despite no commentary/off-line: we hope this run is educational and also adds value to the leaderboard. We do plan on doing post-commentary, and can post the link in an updated YT description. This game was nostalgic for us-doesn't mean we are good at it! lol. Super happy to get a first completion earlier, and content with this PB for now. Would like to try the JP version, cause that gives continues and lives-the last stage is a bit of a gate keeper, in terms of getting finished runs

We'll revisit this down the line for a sub 20. Had super salty RNG with the clone fight-my goodness were we cursing up a storm (non-commentary haha) we NEVER curse while live, which is kinda cool I guess? lol. Very pumped to have done the Ninja skip-both of them! The Mansion flames gave us some trouble-we did pretty well on the gear room

Thanks to the mods for taking the time to verify runs, and thanks 5upa for picking this game-it was good to be part of something while playing this-it was fun!
