Shishkaboss in 0:18 [TWR] - Kid Chameleon
Achieved in real time without glitches on BizHawk 2.8 on 05/29/2022.
This route is just an improvement on Skuldafn's method by using an extra round of Samurai Haze. The timing for the first usage is very precise so the middle head can be pinned to the row of steel blocks above, while the second one is not precise and is merely to prevent the bottom head from going underground.
You have the option of either bouncing on the top head or standing on the ledge to the right and slashing him with your sword as Skuldafn did. The slashing method is a teeny bit faster but bouncing is just SO MUCH EASIER so I opted to do that for a small time loss.
Falling down to the middle head, I did a single unnecessary bounce on him. This was kinda intentional as that makes it easier (for me personally) to then jump up precisely to have no horizontal speed when the rapid-fire head bounces start. This is super important at the start of the bounce volley as you'll otherwise be slingshotted away with just the slightest bit of initial horizontal speed.
I scuffed the sword slashes on the bottom head; the other two dead heads must create some lag as I can never get the rhythm right. No matter, was good enough for the 18. After all of the above is said and done, I'm pretty sure a 17 is possible, but that will not be for me to get!
