Tempo 32X Speedrun (20:28)
4Edit: Official time has been adjusted to 20:27
I'm very satisfied with this time considering plenty of my attempts were lost due to the boxing glove. This will be my last speed run and I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to speedrunning again. If you have a question, please read the description first.
"Why Indigestion Performance first?"
Boss can feel very random at times. I'd rather deal with that boss first instead of facing it after completing the other two stages.
"How long did this take?"
Not counting the recording tests and attempts I did months ago, it took 2 days. Mainly because I couldn't play the 32X for a long period of time as it would lead to graphical issues after several resets, forcing me to give it a break until it stopped. That said, this was recorded on a Model 2 Genesis + 32X using an HDMI converter with an elgato.
"Thoughts on Tempo?"
I like it a lot. That said, I do think this game can leave a rather weird first impression for those going in blind (mainly due to how movement feels). Definitely worth a try if you're into platformers and it does have some good jams! Also a big thanks to the Tempo Speedrunners for the techniques they discovered.
"Why are you done with speedrunning?"
I know that if I put more time into this game, I could potentially get closer or even beat the current WR. But the truth of the matter is that I'm a guide writer first and foremost. You can check out the full explanation in this post.

"Okay, but what if..."
MAYBE I'll try this again in the future someday. But like I said earlier, I'm really happy with this time and I don't think I can stomach trying to get a better run for the time being. Outside of Floor Drilling, I think my execution is fine. My main issue is knowledge as I ended up playing certain sections off reactions alone (with a good example being Winter Performance). Nonetheless, this is easily the best no miss run I did on Tempo to date, and I'm very proud of it!
Somewhat mindboggling that you read this far, but thanks a bunch!
