Nice job!

I'm gonna try to focus a bit more on this game now.
My execution still sucks, but I got a 27:04 without any cutscene skips and the most retarded penguin fight you've ever seen.

LOL! I just got the best kill possible on the (troll-)penguin boss, so I was -56s vs my PB. Then failed at the next stage and died at the last boss Tongue

26:09 - Lost at least 11 sec on the last stage though. Most of the stages were kinda ~meh.
Aiming for ~25:45 (as the post title says \o/)

Edit: I just noticed that sound is very laggy :/ Sorry about that. I need a better setup for my NES

Wow that penguin kill Tongue

I feel like he might take 5 fully charged shots to the head to kill (pretty sure that's what i did in my run just in three phases)

Congratz on the new record! I will also be aiming for that time Wink

Good luck.

It takes 4 fully charged (>66%) and 1 small charge (>33%) as he has 23 hp. Read my previous posts Smiley

Haha I did read them! I just forgot... :S and I take it that's your PB ^? That's a good start Cheesy

BTW, Jokaah do you have any tips on the cutscene skips other than just practicing forever? I have so much difficultly pulling them off

Practice them a lot, I guess.
The one in stage 4 is the most annoying, because it's after stage 3 so you really don't want to reset if you miss it Tongue

But it saves ~9 seconds.

26:04 (25:54 SDA timing) mostly thanks to boss randomness. Was +12s at some point.

Note: During the final long walk to the last boss (with the egg-birds and the flames), Nemo is actually faster than the mouse. By about ~1,5s Tongue

Alright I took a bit of a break from this but I'm back! (just gotta do some unrusting)

And yea, I noticed Nemo was faster and you also don't need to stop for the birds, just keep walking (not sure if you do that as I have yet to watch the new run)

This game has gone from really fun and awesome to extremely frustrating to try to run Tongue

A lot comes down to getting the text-skips and having a good penguin and last boss - which is either extremely hard and/or luck based.

So here's how the penguin boss's "randomness" works (all credit for this amazing piece of artwork goes to Nudua on SRL):

So basically, if your forward-foot's toe pixel is over a green one in the picture.. you will damage the boss no matter what. If it's over a red one, then no damage.
The Nemo's in the picture illustrates how far/close you can stand to the boss, ie. a green pixel outside that area wont work.

Finally trying to record a run... at least I know I can save some time on the last stage:

With perfect luck and great execution, a 25:10 (SDA timing) is possible.

My japanese Nemo cart arrived today! So did a few runs and got a 24:48, where I lost like 25 seconds to the last boss like an idiot.
Still haven't timed how mcuh time in total all the text scrolling saves, but I would guess about 1:20-1:30.

There are no other major differences what I noticed.. except that the second nightmare boss kept giving me a different pattern compared to the english version. Kinda strange.

Which makes the time to beat: 24:15, on the japanese version (I got the text skips in stage 1 and 5, so didn't count those).

Note: These are all timed manually, just to give a rough estimate.

I'm pretty sure the pattern boss #2 gives you in the japanese version is faster than in the english version (they are different for some reason), once you learn it.
I haven't compared them yet, but this made me believe it: http://www.twitch.tv/jokaah/c/2500437
