So... during a recent speedrun attempt, I came across both a Titanium Whip and a Ring of Might fairly early (less than 11 seconds into 1-1!). The whip isn't really one of the better speedrunning weapons (due to how the whip attacks, it can be difficult/impossible to quickly move past enemies without stopping to attack them), but since the game essentially gave me a 3-damage whip pretty much as a starting weapon, I figured it might be fun to practice a bit with the whip. So I did. =)
The result was a run that proceeded a lot faster than I thought it would (not a personal record pace, but still pretty fast!)... and only went bad after I switched to a different weapon. ^^;;;
Heh, maybe I should've stuck with the Titanium Whip... ah well. =) Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Direbat, Gray Minotaur, Red Dragon, & Deep Blues 1.
Zone 2: Banshee, Blood Nightmare, Red Dragon, & Death Metal 2.
Zone 3: Blue Dragon, Blood Nightmare, Green Banshee, & Coral Riff 3.
Zone 4: Blue Dragon & Green Banshee.
