This may be an 11:50 (I appear to gain control around 00:00.14 on my timer and then lose it around 11:51.02) but I'm not 100% certain of the timing, so I'd appreciate it if somebody could double check that and change it if it is not an 11:51.

This run was kind of a mess honestly but it all worked out in the end. I may keep doing attempts here and there to go for a sub-11:50 run. I figure that's a good goal with the current strats I'm using.

Played on a model 1 US NES with an authentic US game cartridge and a model 1 US NES controller.

Edited to 11:49.600 /Pikachu Reason: last split has been changed in rules.
