Description

I picked up this version late last year and had a lot of fun with it. Went in the opposite direction as I usually do, started out with full game runs, and now I've decided to do the ILs as well. I probably won't put as much time into the ILs for this game as a normally do, because a lack of savestates making testing very hard, and 1 button spindashing is extremely slow and taxing, which makes optimising really rough. But there's next to no videos for this game, so I wanted to put something out for anyone who is interested in this version with some nice strats. It's actually really solid, I'm still surprised how much I like this version.

Of note for these runs, in this remake you can turn on S3K items, which gives you access to elemental shields, as well as the insta-shield. Another thing you can do is randomise the items, both for S2 items and S3K items. For full game runs you just use S3K items of course, the shields are helpful, but for ILs, sometimes randomising the items is better, and waiting until you get speedshoes off say the first itembox. This is one such level. I used S3K randoms (sometimes S2 randoms is better since higher chance of speedshoes, but I wanted insta-shield), and finally got something decent. Could go a 16 with nice optimisation or a better second item (i.e. Fire Shield), but like I said I'm not gonna spend too long on these, especially on the ones with luck involved. Got the record for now so I'm happy.
