Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue Speedrun in

Don't panic.

About the run

Timer starts when ranger is selected (00:09) and ends when we hear "Mission accomplished" after defeating Queen (27:40). 2 seconds of recording were lost at 11:34, not sure what caused it, but apologies for that. Luckily it doesn't cut out anything meaningful, just a few steps of running to pick up the hostage.

Played on a Play Station 2 console, recorded with an Elgato Game Capture HD.

Very happy with this run, faster times are definitely possible, but with the enemy AI being as random and punishing as it is, this is an excellent time.

About the game

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue was released in 2000 for the Playstation 1, the goal of each level is to save all the hostages and defeat the enemies that stand in your way. Named bosses must always be defeated, but the batwing minions are sometimes optional.

Combat in this game is a nightmare, so we cheese our way through it with jump kicks and stun locks, but enemies can do the exact same to you, and you often just have to pray that they don't, as there's no way to stop them once they start comboing you out. We will also try to knock bosses off the edge of the map when possible, as this is an instant kill. Enemies are also immune to all non-finisher attacks when blocking, which they can do at any point, which wastes a lot of time.

The game is also constantly laggy, hitboxes are wonky at best, and there are numerous soft locks that can troll us throughout the game. The music's pretty good though.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them.
