This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see http://tasvideos.org/4009M.html. TAS originally published on 2019-07-31.

In VVVVVV, the player controls Captain Viridian, who is lost in an alternate dimension, in search of the missing members of the spaceship's crew. Instead of jumping, the player is able to control the direction of gravity, allowing Captain Viridian to flip between the floors and ceilings of the environment. The graphical style of the game is heavily influenced by the Commodore 64.

Masterjun (http://tasvideos.org/Masterjun.html) improves the previous run (http://tasvideos.org/2597M.html) by 2 minutes and 56.01 seconds, thanks to exploiting a glitch in the infamous Gravitron intermission, allowing one to skip directly to the end through the Gravitron. Please read the author's comments (http://tasvideos.org/6429S.html) for more details.

This run avoids using glitches that require pressing the Escape key. There is also a run (http://tasvideos.org/2611M.html) that uses these glitches to beat the game even faster.
