This is beating Maniac Mansion, taking an extra turn, and then getting the Hamsteak ending.

Choosing the Feed Meteor to Plant option compared to the Weird Edsel ending slashes the difficulty considerably because you don't have to deal with all the minutia of regaining New Kid menu access and skipping all those cutscenes at the end. The route I took to get here wasn't optimized for speed, just trying to figure it out slow with a ton of backtracking. Getting the timing right on feeding the plant is tough, but if you hit New Kid too early, you'll still have Meteor in your inventory and the meltdown timer is diffused.

Hitting the doorbell during the porch cutscene wasn't necessary, I just didn't remember the package was already accepted until after I rang it and noticed the roll of film. Still, that small timesink made for some spot on visual timings.
