The Galious RNG was ridiculously good here. Also using a new route that manages to grab gold from a treasure room without needing to pick up the Mongolian Sword first, so I don't need to worry about the early grind, and a few other minor optimizations. 3 was sloppy (and I used the Aphrodite safety clip), and I fell on the way to 5, so there's still some significant time saves available. (But I'll probably never get a Galious fight that good again.)

Played on a NESRGB-modded AV Famicom and captured with a RetroTink 5X-Pro. Final time determined by counting frames in Avidemux (ending on touching Pampers).
