This was a pretty good run overall. Going for a sub-18 is tempting since it does seem to at least be theoretically possible, but I don't know if I'll keep grinding for it at least right now. It seems like it would require a pretty godly run without new strats most likely.

Played on a model 1 US NES with an authentic US game cartridge and a model 2 Famicom controller because the model 1 US NES controller was kinda wrecking my thumb with all of the diagonals and such.
