Hmm...excuse me for a moment. Apparently, the rule says "Timer ends when the character does the last hit of the final boss mask.", but for some reason, there seem to be many videos where the timer is stopped without completely processing the final boss' mask. If you're going to do this, how about rewriting the rules or adjusting the speedrunners' times?
The first place record is 23 minutes and 29 seconds, but the record shown in the video is 23 minutes and 39 seconds. It looks like you need to make a correction.
Hmm...then I get it. Maybe we should add a new 'No Autofire' to the speedrun rules for this game.
I have a question, is Autofire allowed or forbidden?
I don't understand the rules well, but the first level must start with an ice planet unconditionally?
Indeed, no matter how much there were no rules, it was difficult for speed runners to understand the rules. There has to be some new rule.
