Now a hit show on the CW
I don't mind being scrutinized in the least. I want to make an entertaining and skillful run, and it's hard to do without any previous runs or TASs of the game available to compare to. If you'd genuinely like to help, I'm sort of on the fence about what route I want to use for the Catacombs area in Level 9. This area has a very awkward design... it seems almost impossible to avoid some back tracking. I'll do my best to describe the two routes I'm thinking about. I'll try to account for all of the Earthlings, but I'm going completely by memory, so I'll probably forget a few.
Route A: Go right and jump over the pit, taking out the Flying Duck and Boogie Men. Keep going right past all the fungus taking out the Boogie Men along the way. When you get to the large fungus area, fall down and catch the Cow Ghosts, Fairy, and Poodle (in the bush on the left wall). Then hit the button below that bush to return to the top of the ledge, and then press the button there to appear over the pit. Fall down holding right to get the Poodle on the ledge, and then get the Boogie Man and Naked Man below. Go right, catching all of the Earthlings in your path (Poodles, Fairy, Fat Lady, Boy... probably forgetting one). Enter the door once you reach it. Catch the Cow Ghost here, and then Funk Move, or use the buttons, to go through the rooms to the right to catch the Girl, Construction Worker, and Tourist. Then Funk Move back to the room at the far left and use that door to appear above the large fungus area. From there, just go right catching all the Earthlings along the way until you reach the end of the area.
Route B: Catch the first Boogie Man and Flying Duck, then fall down into the pit. Go right, catching all the Earthlings along the way, but don't enter the door. Go past it and talk to Flarney, who triggers the button at the bottom of the pit. Now go into the door. Catch the Cow Ghost, Funk Move (or use buttons) to go right through the rooms, taking out those few Earthlings. Keep going right until you reach the bottom of the pit where Flarney's button is. Push it to appear at the top. Then go right, catching everything along the way, everything in the large fungus area, and keep going right to the exit.
Route B seems a little faster on paper, but Route A seems faster to me when I actually play the game. I haven't timed them to compare, though. Of course, it's possible there's another route that's even faster which I haven't thought of.
Here's the password I had after my last segment (which will probably change after I retry it, but I think the only difference will be me having one more Panic Button): MAFNKE2D-1K-
