Wow. What a run, what a route. I'll try to explain the routing process:

I started by taking accurate item counts for each and every section. This was done by hacking a different starting PIV to a replay and then checking the score difference, which corresponds to the item count. Then I tested how much PIV I gain from each bomb spot & multiplied with the remaining items to get accurate score estimates for all bombs. Finally I chose the best bomb spots, accounting for 3 misses needed to restock bombs.

As for the resource route: I managed to show that you can get max lives even with 3 misses. It's crazy how perfect this route is. I get the bomb piece at 3:49 exactly when I need it. And of course, the very last resource I get puts me on 8 lives.

This particular run was very good until the boss fight, but Raiko was sloppy. I'm still happy with the final score.
