Here we have another game completely demolished by abuse of game breaking glitches.
The author initiates a glitch involving the character dying and gaining a 1-up during the fadeout to a Game Over screen. This allows him to skip many levels and complete the game in just 3 and half minutes!
For fast completion that does not use this glitch there is the 2-player version.
This is an improvement of almost 9 seconds over the previous run.
