This game is terrible. I always felt like this was unfinished business from back in 2013. I routed the game, ran it at AGDQ, and then never bothered doing PB attempts. This run remedies that.

This run was done on easy difficulty because the higher difficulties really only significantly affect the shooting sections. On hard difficulty, the enemies fire a nonstop stream of bullets, which makes it incredibly hard for you to line up and hit them. The boss fights are near impossible. I can barely target the weak points on easy mode when I have to dodge fewer than 10 bullets. On hard mode, you can never stop moving, so the bosses would literally take minutes longer. Considering the worst and least entertaining parts of the run would be made worse and the only tolerable parts stay mostly untouched, I decided there was no reason to run on a higher difficulty.

So, this run was pretty ok. There were no major mistakes in the platforming levels and the three boss fights were above average. There were definitely mistakes in the platforming sections, but none of the "major" mistakes you can make (the ones that cost 30-90 seconds each). I also had one slip-up with smart bomb management on the way to the fourth morph pod I think? Not the best shooting sections.
