This run was had the timer started and ended per the rules: PS: Timer starts upon selecting difficulty and ends upon entering the final room where Cornet starts dialog with Kururu.

This run uses a new route and a new glitch that hasn't been used in a PB yet New route: Get Duke Sell Kid, Buy 6 Dragon claws 3 Genius Caps, and 8 Thinking caps Extra thinking caps are given to Terra to up DPS in the painting fight and defense robes and Holy Charm are removed to opt for higher damage output. Glitches used: Reward Counter Transfer (RCT): allows the transfer of reward counter stacks and notes from one beaten game to a new game essentially working as a new game+ almost. This Glitch possibly has more implications and uses but I don't really know what to do to find them. (Discovered by me) Tell Duplication Glitch: This glitch is utilized to skip part of the scene with Etoile in Mothergreen. This glitch is not fully understood either but by leaving the acquire Tell scene before it's finished, it stores your "Yes" answer form that scene and, I believe, the number of text boxes you have cleared so far. this acts differently in different cutscenes, but in Mothergreen it skips loading Etoile's theme and doesn't load any backgrounds or sprites as well as skipping part of her entry dialogue. you 'can' still move around here but its a little blind so I teleport out of it. This is called the Tell Duplication glitch because it can be done over and over and create an army of Tells. (found by ‪@Dissidia‬ ) Acquire Terra Unrestricted Walk: this is a small time save that guarantees no encounters and lets you move before the acquire terra scene is complete. it's simple but you can't mash X or you will softlock.
