So... Accelerate-only Peanut vs. VPC4 Centrifuge+ is something I've been meaning to get back to for, well, at least a little while... ^.^

Back when I recorded runs with Starch and Aubergine (hmm, getting close to a year ago by now, wow ^^), I also did some quick test runs with Peanut... and ran across basically the same difficulty I first encountered in VPC4 Convection: the invulnerability from drilling a high-health enemy with Peanut's Secondary can be extremely useful for avoiding things like floor heat, mine explosions, bullet clusters, and other hazards... but if you don't pay enough attention to where you're drill dashing, accidentally dashing through a Red or Blue powerup can become a... not insignificant risk... and even more so if you're also not trying to be careful about where you let the powerups drop. ^^;

Of course, Centrifuge is both a smaller and more densely-crowded arena than Convection... which means the risk of accidentally dashing through a Red or Blue powerup is even higher... which became exceedingly obvious in the few test runs I did with Peanut, back then. ^^;

Anyway, at the time, I was a bit shorter on time than I would've liked... so I decided to set the Peanut attempts aside for later... and now, finally got back to them! ^_^

Anyway, long story short... yep, it definitely took a while to figure out (and practice!) some Peanut-specific safer strats for not accidentally dashing through a Red or Blue powerup on this level, but... eventually, this run happened! =)

So here it is... my first ever Accelerate-only Peanut vs. VPC4 Centrifuge+ S+! Hope you enjoy! =)
