A follow up to my previous video on Tempo that explains how the scoring system works. You can check that out here if you haven't already.

-This run is NOT fully optimized. This is more of a proof of concept, so don't expect many fancy tricks here. The main goal of this run was to get to the end with enough points to earn the Best Ending. I used save states in order to cover up for fatal mistakes made in both the gameplay and the minigames.

-It's more than possible to earn more score in the platforming stages during normal play. As mentioned in my previous video, it's how well you do at the minigames that'll make or break your best ending run.

-It takes about 30 minutes of playtime to have the coins you need for the 9 attempts at the minigame. The minigame itself can take another 30 minutes assuming you're perfect on all 9 attempts. It is possible to do all 9 minigame levels 9 times in a row without save states, but it is incredibly difficult (unless you're some Rhythm Heaven master or something).

-It might be possible to get 100 coins in a playthrough by luring enemies near certain Dance items. This tool-assisted run achieved 98 and I get around 90 in my casual runs. This is yet another reason why this run isn't fully optimized.

-I have no plans to do another Tool-Assisted run and you shouldn't subscribe to this channel if you're into said runs. My main motivation for doing this was due to the misconception that it's impossible to get the best ending without intentionally grinding coins in the last stage and using a continue to go back to the minigame (or excessively grinding enemies / items in general). If 100 coins is truly possible, then that'll make it even more possible to do this run legit as that means another attempt at the minigame.
