I'm not sure I could clear the first boss in that time, let alone the whole damn game. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this run is the fact that it came in at 45 minutes under the estimated time, with Mitchriz annihilating the game in just two hours. If you struggled against the early boss, Gyoubu, and spent hours trying to finish it off with all your faculties intact, a brief glimpse at this astonishing show of skill (17 mins in for the boss fight) will make you feel about 3cm high. In this run, a high-point of the week without a shadow of a doubt, Mitchriz managed to complete the entire game blindfolded.
