Good improvement over my 4:32, and confirmation that sub 4:10 is the best I can realistically go for with this route. With that in mind, I'll probably leave this here for now and try to find new strats, since I really want sub 4 to be feasible before I push this further.

This run was pretty solid throughout. Although not instant, I still had amazing Fridge and Frog luck, and I somehow pulled off my second ever Insane Charcoal™.

Here are some noteworthy time-losses:

• Hasty Wizzard/Mr Music Box (20s+)
• Man-Spider (30s+)
• Mecha Yodzilla (1m30s)
• 20-year-old Guy (2m)
• Jamtrack/Dr. Fill (3m+)

As usual, this run was done on a model SCPH-15000 PS2, being played from the game's disc.
