Speedrun of Rolling Thunder Story 1 Areas 1 - 5 (so first loop). Managed to snag a NEW PB of 6:57. So my suspicions that the run could be done in under 7 minutes were correct.

Even so, the run can be refined further still. I was still a bit too cautious in places, would need to take further risks to create a smooth run with no hesitations or pauses. The time can then come down even further.

I also noticed a glitch in Stage 1-2. I was able to jump down a platform you're not supposed to, as it has no bannisters. This didn't happen on this particular run, but if pulled off, the glitch can save an extra second or two.

Played on Nintendo Switch. Game is included in Namco's Arcade PAC collection.
