This run goes through 91 of the game's 103 levels, the most which can be visited in a single playthrough. This also includes dead-end elsewheres (ones which exit back to the previous level), which the currently published TAS ignores.
This was the result of a week's worth of frustration and madness trying to get a good time in this category. I couldn't possibly finish a run without dying at least a couple times, especially at that last lava elsewhere }:( but this was the one where everything miraculously came together. For a run this good to come in an almost 2.5 minute chunk, I would say it is my most insane personal best to date.
Key moments in the run include:
1) Surviving last part of Stairway to Oblivion. Those platforms are pretty unpredictable.
2) Decent 2nd but fantastic 3rd boss.
3) Keeping Skycutter until Towers of Blood. Requires no damage in Diamond Edge and perfect movement with invulnerability in the previous elsewhere.
4) Surviving the dead-end elsewhere off the Shimmering Caves. As Micromax, you have two chances to precisely thread yourself diagonally through a hidden steel block. Miss both, and the run might as well be over. Level's friggin hard.
There were still a few mistakes, namely missing Pinnacle skip several times, and losing Red Stealth on Secrets in the Rocks (he makes the next elsewhere super quick). Next time we'll have that all patched up!
Achieved on the Sega Smash Pack II version of Kid Chameleon.
