After having a really nice 8-bit WR featuring some pretty insane yeets like Entu's nutty Ultra Steel strategy in Autumn for example and getting the challenging 1-Cycle Queen of Quills fight I managed to keep it together enough to get a really solid couple extra levels that the Linear category brings!
So happy Manfred cooperated on activating full spin mode (A glitch known as Ballfred that saves a lot of time) and that I didn't choke the stages or Demon General.
I am super happy with this run/time and hope it inspires more players to pick up some of the insane flashy strats that NG+ brings or just gives it a go at all because there is still a lot of potential to find new things in a category where you have as many tools from the start as you do in this one. It's a really fun run/category for sure as well :D
After this Linear run I went on to do what I think is the first submitted NG+ Hey% run where you need to hear all the "Hey's" in each song. This run in total includes the as of 11-30-20, 8-bit, linear and Hey% World Record's :D
