With this stage, you really need to manage your health. Try not to damage tank too many fire bars. Thankfully, Tengu Blade can help a lot with that. You can Tengu Blade through a good chunk of the fire bars in this stage to avoid taking damage from them. Although the very first set of fire bars I've found is kind of inconsistent in whether or not you can Tengu Blade through them without taking damage. There's also a bunch of fire bars at the end that you can't avoid taking damage from without waiting for them to go back down. You can use Blast Wind to get past one set without knockback, but for the set right before the boss gate, I haven't found a way to get past them without taking knockback at least once.

At the end of the day, you want to make it to Quick Man with at least 2 HP. That way, you can at least take a hit. Quick Man dies so fast in this game from Homing Sniper that all you really need is that one damage tank. Thus, for this stage, you should really come in with every upgrade. Energy Saver gives you more Tengu Blade, Blast Wind helps you damage boost through a bunch of stuff, and Step Booster, Salmon Shield, and Absorption Armor all save your hide.

This run beats the previous normal record, MystSvin's 1:33. For improvements, all I can think of is the screen before the boss gate. There's gotta be a better way of getting through there, right? Even then, I think it went a little slowly just from me fumbling my controls and delaying my first jump.
