Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest - Any% Speedrun in 30:52 [Current World Record]

What a tough speedrun! The amount of things that have to go right, both from the execution side and the luck side, for a good run, is pretty insane. After almost a year of having learned the run, and close to two straight months of running this game extremely actively (almost daily, often for 6-8 hours a day during the final couple weeks) this is the result. I’m not completely satisfied with this time but I’m probably ready to move on for the moment being. Good luck to whoever will attempt to beat this. And shoutouts to truefalse for gifting me an original cartridge of the game since mine was dying. Forgot to mention him at the end but it was a very kind act of him, thank you man :) - How are you clipping through floors? It’s a glitch. When Simon whips on the same frame he falls off of a 2-block height and his Y-subpixel is of a specific value (usually 3/32 possible values) he’ll clip through the floor on landing. This makes floor drops a frame-perfect and subpixel-depende
