The grind paid off! SUB 2!

A good amount of new shortcuts and small timesaves emerged from my grinding. The result: almost 10 minutes cut off my last PB! I got a single fail in the entire run, it happened at the final boss.

Biggest time losses from mistakes :

• 10s in Rocky Pass Level 1
• 10s in Rocky Pass Level 2
• 10s in Rocky Pass Boss
• 20s in Geyser Field Level 1
• 15s in Geyser Field Level 5
• 20s in Geyser Field Boss
• 10s in Ice Floes Level 2
• 25s in Ice Floes Boss

I played the USA version using BizHawk 2.8 Emu with an Xbox 360 controller. I turned off the in-game music and played some soundtracks of the game in the background.
