Cuphead DLC 300% Speedrun 1:05:06 (FORMER World Record)
420EDIT: This is not WR anymore as of January 18th 2023. KalaveritaTV has beaten this time with a time of 1:04:56.
Played on PC.
Got a solid 38 second improvement over my old WR just two days after my GDQ run! It would've been nice to get WR during the run itself, but hey, not gonna complain about getting it a couple days later! Overall solid run, though the King's Leap bosses were very sloppy. I still plan on grinding this at least into the 1:04:XX range (and then maybe into the 1:03:XX range if I'm really feeling good about it). We'll see where it goes!
Some commonly asked questions:
Q: How are you able to play on Expert without beating the game first?
A: Speedrunners use something called the "Fresh Expert" glitch for Expert mode categories. Basically, if you have a save file where you've already beaten the game, you access that first and select a boss. On the difficulty select, you put the cursor over "Expert" (no need to actually fight the boss), and then back out and Exit to Title. When you start a new file you will begin the game on Expert.
Q: Why do you fight all of the King Dice minibosses?
A: While they technically don't contribute to file percentage, we decided in the speedrunning community to include them in the 300% category since it fills out the Checklist in the menu. That's also the same reason we require buying all the weapons/charms despite them not contributing to file percentage either; it's just nice looking from a completionist perspective!
Q: Where can I find the leaderboards for this game/category?
A: https://www.speedrun.com/cuphead for the main game leaderboards. For this category specifically you can find the times https://www.speedrun.com/cuphead#DLC_ and then select 300%
