I take a few deaths on purpose which will basically act as a way of saving medkits. However, any extra life when the player has 6 lives already will trigger a 'Perfect player bonus', which takes quite a while. Because due to the amount of points gathered, there will be a total of 12 extra lives. This is why I wait a bit on player selection screen.Īnother thing to note is that taking a death in this category does not really cost any time. For those who might be interested, you need to select character on frame 1332 after a reset, or ~22.16 seconds. After messing around with emulator for a while, I found a consistent way of getting it. In order to get to level 1B ('Day of the Tentacle'), I need either a bazooka or a monster potion during the first level. Nostalgia value + great music + beating impossible game = good speedrun. One of the best SNES games that has ever existed.
