My notes on the run:
Seeing as the previous practice run that I did on Mania was a short one (Hang Glider% to be exact), it was only right to switch it up and really go for one of the full game categories.
Lot to really note in areas of the run. After finishing a previous run beating the world record in 1 : 00 : 44, I wasn't honestly satisfied with how it turned out, so this ended up happening in the process.
I switched up the usual strategies for the special stages mainly because I noticed how certain runners were able to easily upgrade to max mach speed, which I never even knew was possible all this time playing Mania since it first came out, though in all honesty if I end up playing more to the max speed strat rather than the usual strat of bouncing off the bumpers to gain speed instead, it might ruin momentum, so this might be the only run I attempted something like that.
Green Hill, Chemical Plant, and Studiopolis seemed fine aside from a good Mean Bean Machine boss battle, Flying Battery introduced a flying skip I noticed somebody pulled off in their run and I instantly got it on the first attempt, the run here simply made it a perfect 2 for 2 along with a good boss battle. Press Garden 1, but after that point, there was a certain amount of mistakes that happened in Press Garden 2, Stardust Speedway and especially Hydroctiy. I really should've practiced Stardust Speedway and Hydrocity, given that both zones shared major factors in getting a lot of time save involved. Mirage Saloon was alright, Oil Ocean was good, Lava Reef I guess felt okay, most of my focus however came in clutch at the end with both Metallic Madness & Titanic Monarch which felt like it played out good.
I really wasn't expecting to hit a sub 1 hour run, but this makes it the first ever run to not only finish in less than an hour, but nail a world record too.
There's easily still more room for improvement, but finally after finishing my second ever run, I KNOW for a fact that running this back at least one more time will be the next top goal that I really want to reach in this category. Who knows, the same might be said for the other characters.
