Gon really gave a rather unique spin to its gameplay - I'm not sure if I can directly think of anything else that tried something in a similar way.

Did a Crusader of Centy derust basically; was a run I didn't do for very long at the time but I did enjoy, and now as well.

Then Darkwing Duck on TG-16, which afaik is the first game on that system that I've now beaten, so I guess there's that.

After yesterday I figured I'd do this. My first time playing as Goofy, who is definitely the slower one.
Damageless bosses and "Low%" are worth the same points, but the last one (finishing levels without extra HP and max 2 lives) is by far tougher in my opinion - especially on the last two stages.

Welp, my PC blue screened, haven't seen that in years lmao. Wasn't the same thing that I frequently had a few months ago, at least.

Somewhat abrupt ending, but it was nice to be back to the game. Some paces were looking promising, hoping to do more one of the next few days!

So yeah, Death took almost half the playtime to beat, with two double KOs before that - while the last boss took a bit but certain safer strats ended up helping.

Anyway, it's beaten!

People mentioned CV1 becomes an easier experience if you know certain basic speedrun strats, and I'd believe that.
