240p & 480p missing? YouTube glitch.
Chapters missing? Also a YouTube thing. They used to work, but one day just stopped showing. They still show up on searches sometimes, so in other words, unreliable. Therefore, all my timestamps will be located at the very top of my video descriptions.
I don't heart comments. People complain when you don't heart their comment or forget to do it. Likes and/or a reply when warranted is good enough.
I talked and ranted a lot on this one, which honestly, I'm free to do so, it's my video. However, I get it if you're only interested in gameplay, so I timestamped everything for your convenience.
Also, I'm very sorry about constantly sniffing sometimes. I have a lot of allergies and it's hard to avoid doing it, but I'm aware of it, I know it can be annoying, and I'll do my best to reduce it.

The CRT footage you see here was NOT edited in post in any way, shape or form - it is raw. I try my best to capture what I see in person, however, with my current camera, I have to go out of focus a bit in order to avoid moire pattern, which is a shame. It's a lot sharper and more colorful in person, of course.

I was going to list the Pitfall! world record, but it's claimed by Twin Galaxies. Given all the controversy surrounding their records, I am not sure if it's prudent to list it here. So instead, I will list the current record from speedrun.com, which comes with video proof right here on YouTube:
Aussie gamer "Nad" holds the current record at 19m 10s, with 114k points:
