Description

Speedrun of Dizzy 1 for the ZX Spectrum played on Fuse emulator 1.6

The goal of this run is to complete the game while removing all possible objects and enemies from the screen.

There are a few impossible enemies. Two spiders in the castle and a bat and egg on The Secret Cave screen.

The magnet, which is a red herring in the game can be disposed of in the pit below the bridge. The game gives a confirmation sound for doing this. Other multiple use items can also be disposed of this way but it is faster to drop them and have an enemy obliterate them.

Everything went really well until the helmet section in the crystal cave which was quite sloppy.

I take quite a big risk at the end of the run in destroying the helmet in the time between Zaks dying and the game ending. I got very lucky that the final stalactite did not kill me and ruin the whole run. I was trying to get over to the hatch in the tomb before the end of the game. Not strictly necessary but the_aging_nerd did it in the first run of this category so I wanted to do it too.
