I'm never doing this category by itself ever again. It took 101 attempts in 2021 to get a 44m42s, and a further 101 attempts (over 30 hours) to get a 44m37s. Happy to get a sub 44 sum of best at least. Played on a physical copy of NSMBUDX on a Nintendo Switch in British English. Recorded in OBS on a 2020 M1 Mac mini, with splits on LiveSplit One.

Note: Split comparisons use my PB as the best time I achieved in 2023, as I lost my 2021 split file, I won't be losing this one.
