So I was doing some Mary speedrun attempts and, as usual, wasn't having much luck. =p And I was actually about to give up for the day when... this run happened. ^^
The run didn't start out all that well (went the wrong way for the 1-1 exit), but things gradually got better. ^^ Long story short, I ended up not only with my first ever sub-15... but got pretty close to a sub-14 as well! =)
Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 1-1
0:31 Wait a minute... that looks more like the shop than the exit room...
0:35 ...it's the shop. =p
0:51 Mb: Direbat
1:02 1-2
1:17 Bright Torch
1:23 Mb: Red Dragon
1:42 Leprechaun & Lucky Charm! Hmm, with the extra time spent on 1-1, might as well get a little extra gold here, in case there's something speedrun-useful in the 1-3 or 2-1 shop, or a Shrine of Luck or something. ^^
1:56 1-3
2:06 Drumstick & Obsidian Torch. Well, not what I was hoping for, but extra visibility could definitely help, and I guess the Drumstick could be useful for the Blood Shop...
2:08 ...oh wait, I think I already skipped the Blood Shop on 1-1 or 1-2, so uh, I guess the Cookies might be better to hold on to. ^^;
2:20 Mb: Gray Minotaur
2:38 Z1B: Death Metal 1
2:57 Flawless! Reward: Obsidian Flail (nt)
3:03 2-1
3:09 Mb: Red Dragon
3:43 2-2
3:49 Transmute Tome!
3:49 Mb: Gray Minotaur
4:13 2-3
4:20 Potion! =)
4:30 Oh, a shop! Nice! I'll be able to use my Transmute Tome here!
4:32 ...unless it's a walled shop. And I just used my only bomb to get the Potion. =p Well, might as well see what the chest and barrel have.
4:40 Bomb! Thank you, game! ^_^
4:51 Obsidian Spear! =)
5:01 Transmute!
5:03 Spiked Ears!
5:06 Transmute! Oh, that Battle Shovel is tempting, but... don't have enough gold! ^^;
5:27 Yay, have enough to buy the shovel now! ^_^
5:34 Battle Shovel! Wasted a bit of time to get this, but hopefully it'll help speed things up. Especially if I lose the Spiked Ears at any point. ^^;
5:55 Mb: Gray Direbat
6:05 Z2B: Fortissimole 2
6:22 Flawless! Reward: Glass Broadsword (nt). Was hoping for some armor. =/
6:31 3-1
6:43 Boots of Strength & Ring of War! Don't really need the extra damage, but again, if I ever lose the spiked ears, I'll definitely be glad I have it. ^^
6:50 Compass! (thank you, wall mimic!) Definitely will help on Zone 3. =)
7:01 Oh, there's a barrel up there. That might be worth looking into...
7:25 Empty Heart Container. Not sure if that was worth the time spent, but could be useful, if I find some food or healing... ^^;
7:36 Mb: Gray Direbat
7:47 3-2
7:54 Mb: Red Dragon
7:57 Drumstick! Speaking of food... =)
8:03 Hmm, the shop is right here, so might as well-- oh wait, I have no money. Nevermind! ^^;
8:24 3-3
8:29 Mb: Gray Direbat
8:45 Z3B: Coral Riff 3
9:10 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)
9:14 4-1
9:49 Mb: The Mommy
10:01 4-2
10:29 Mb: Blood Nightmare
10:43 4-3
11:03 Empty Heart Container
11:09 Mb: Red Dragon
11:18 Z4B: King Conga 4
11:42 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)
11:47 5-1
12:14 Mb: Red Dragon
12:22 Cheese... and back to full health! =)
12:37 Ack! Have to protect the lamb! ^^; Ow... and ow again. So much for "back to full health". =p
12:44 5-2. Hmm, 2 and a half minutes left... looks like sub-15 might be possible, if I rush a bit... ^^
12:48 Ow. Rush, but still be careful, that is! =p
13:02 Mb: Green Metrognome
13:03 Ow. Rush but be careful!! ^^;;;
13:15 5-3
13:36 Mb: Gray Minotaur. And a skull, orc, and devil... umm, not sure exactly how to handle that cluster. Maybe I should...?
13:37 Missed beat! Coin multiplier lost! Spiked Ears shattered! Ack! =p
13:49 Whew! Down to one heart, but made it out of there without the lamb getting hit! ^^
13:58 Z5B: Deep Blues 5. Okay, sub-15 definitely looks possible, as long as I don't make any careless mistakes in this fight... ^^;
14:21 Flawless!
14:26 Yay, my first ever All Zones Mode Mary sub-15 win! =)
