Firstly, I'd like to say...nice. Anyways...

The creator of this stage seems to have gotten kind of a crappy box. It has two really bad enemies. The Penpens and the Bikky Bombs. The Penpens are just annoying because they fly and they home in on you at frightening speeds, while the Bikky Bombs are bulky and have i-frames for no reason.

With all that said, this stage isn't all too bad. This game's tools are quite well-equipped to deal with the enemies. Flame Mixer and Beat are great for dealing with the Penpens, Homing Sniper takes out the Bikky Bombs when they're at a height higher than you, and you can just ignore all the other Bikky Bombs by using Blast Wind. Moreover, for any damage you do take, you can use Beat Medic to heal back up.

This stage's main gimmick is crushers which means that you should aim to skip as many crusher cycles as possible. I think I managed to do so here. The main thing to watch out for here is of course the sets of crushers that're timed weirdly. You'll jump to immediately off one of the platforms with a crusher to not get squished, but then you get walled by the next crusher. Just wait a bit before jumping and you'll be fine.

This run beats the previous normal record, megabanana's 2:03. For improvements, the only thing I can think of is a better Dust Man fight. That fight is kind of an RNG roll because he's invincible when he's sucking. You can end the attack early by running into him, but that's still a bit of time lost.
