I have made a modest first attempt for the first three episodes of Apogee's Monster Bash starring Johnny Dash. I have uploaded them to youtube, and embedded them here:
Episode 1:
1/2:
2/2:
Episode 2:
1/2:
2/2:
Episode 3:
1/4:
2/4:
3/4:
4/4:
By no means perfect runs, but still quite decent for a first try, me likes to think. Episode1 is segmented (and re-sequented), episode2 and episode3 runs are single segment.
Enjoy
I think using a bug it is possible to cut down on some level times, but this will be extremely hard and quite possible only usable for TAS speedruns. There's a bug which registers an opening of a pet cage twice. I think it is triggered when two stones hit the cage lock within a very small timeframe. This prevents the need to open half the amount of cages in a level, which can be very advantageous for some levels. It happened a few times by accident, in particular when stones bounced of the wall while a second shot hit the lock straight.
Walking through walls is possible in some levels, but not to any time advantage so far my judgement goes.
I did exploit dying such that Johnny is respawned at a pirate flag elsewhere in the level, to cut down on time going back to the pirate flag.
