Cuphead - 100% Glitchless Speedrun (Unofficial World Record) 53:13
Played on Xbox. Pretty fantastic run, though I had two silly deaths in Mausoleum 3 that cost about 1:05. This is not a segmented run. My full run including loads can be found on twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/220889183
The rules for 100% Glitchless are as follows:
Absolutely no glitches can be used
All 40 coins must be collected
All items must be purchased from Porkrind's Shop
All Mausoleums must be completed
Every King Dice miniboss must be defeated
My unofficial time is 53:13 without loads. I manually removed loads in Windows Movie Maker by removing all frames that show the hourglass on the bottom right corner. There is additional loading time between the fights/run n guns and the results screen which were not removed, and there are loading times after each King Dice miniboss that were also untouched. Despite that, this was still a world record beating the next highest score by about 11 seconds.
The largest time saver was using Whetstone as my charm for most levels once I purchased it at the end of isle 2. This significantly decreased my boss fight times for all of Isle 3 and beyond.
In theory, under 50:00 should be possible. I lost over a minute in deaths, I miss a crucial skip on Perilous Piers which would save over 20 seconds, I lost at least 15 seconds on Captain Brineybeard, I've had King Dice fights that were 20 seconds shorter, and there were a lot of small optimizations (mostly in Run N Guns) that could be made. Overall, I'm happy to have gotten this time, but I will still continue to play this category to hopefully get a deathless run that I'm satisfied with.
Here are my times on each level for those that are curious, along with the timestamp where the level begins:
Forest Follies: 40s (0:35)
Treetop Trouble: 52s (1:42)
Root Pack: 41s (3:19)

Perilous Piers: 1m 23s (34:29)

King Dice: 6m 16s (42:52)
The Devil: 1m 4s (52:06)
Note: This run has not yet been verified since the speedrun.com moderators are trying to decide how to handle it since leaderboard times go by time without loads, and Xbox doesn't have an autosplitter. The time on this load may decrease significantly if they decide to manually remove loads before each results screen and in between King Dice minibosses.
