I have been trying to pick up this game doing NG+ any% NLS as well. I haven't speedrun anything before but I'm enjoying myself so far, mostly trying to imitate the videos in this thread. Since I got a time I was quite content with for chapter 2 I thought I would post it here and see if I could get some feedback on the run and the video. For example, I only use my secondary tool once (the frog at the start of the first finale level), so it wouldn't be much of a loss to switch that out for something else. Anyway I had one death and my time was 9:07 unless I've made some error in my timing.
