There is apparently a minor audio desync in the video file. Assume that it's fixable for now.

Stages 1-3: Pretty good
Stage 4: Slightly sloppy at the boss fight but didn't cost too much time
Stage 5: Very nice
Stage 6: First death of the run and appears to be intentional. Since it's arcade style, only a few seconds lost and the runner wails on the boss.
Stage 7: Good
Stage 8: Good until the last quarter of the boss, where the runner seems to forget where the safe zone is and keeps getting hit. Doesn't lose time though
Stage 9: Second death of the run, going through the unsafer and faster path. Boss fight is played as fast as it can
Stage 10 and 11: Good
Stage 12: Inside a dinosaur now? To fight a devil? Ah, video games. This is quite a lengthy final boss fight and played well. Right when the blue devil shows up, though, I seem to be missing frames here and there, along with the audio slightly off. Could just be my computer.

If the audio/frame rate problem can be fixed, I'd give this an Accept.

A/V good (the desync must be REALLY slight because I didn't notice it at all), no cheating detected. I've never tried to speedrun this game, only played it when I was younger and I don't think I ever beat it if I recall right. Regardless, from a casual standpoint, the run seems pretty well done despite some of the damage and deaths that happened. I'd imagine that deathless would be doable but take a lot more work. I'll give it an accept anyways, though.
