There's not a whole lot to talk about with this stage. Fire Homing Sniper at enemies and avoid riding magnets as much as you can. Although unfortunately, I haven't found a way to skip the last magnet. That final shaft is just a bit too high up for me to do anything of note with Rush or Concrete Shot. Really sad because that magnet takes forever.

I guess I should mention the Gamarn and Gamadayu fight. It takes way too long to kill it the intended way so I just facetank it with Flame Mixer. Since you're pretty much guaranteed to get knocked down to the lower level, you should let go of Flame Mixer when you get hit so that Flame Mixer can get an extra hit or two in.

This run beats the previous normal record, MystSvin's 2:30. I think their record was probably during a full game run or at least without all the sidequest items although in this case, I'm not sure how much that would've mattered aside from a bit of Blast Wind abuse, the weapon usage isn't so much that Energy Saver would've mattered. In any case, for improvements to this run, I feel like I got pretty much everything. Although in rare cases, I've had it so that I didn't need an extra jump after the first spring at the start. You could also try and end the spring jump early and land on the bottom platform. That can both work to save time. I also feel the Gamarn and Gamadayu fight could've been better. And lastly, for the Yudon with the key, maybe actually getting close to fight it would be faster. Not sure on this one though.
