This is both a perfect play and speedrun combined, meaning that I placed taking no damage at all over speed. At the final boss especially, I could have saved time from letting myself take damage, but I thought it would look silly playing the rest of the game perfectly, then suddenly breaking my no-damage claims right at the end.
Features:
  • Completed in hard mode with Sailor Mars
  • No damage taken
  • Every enemy defeated
  • Every item collected (including two hidden items found on the stage many elevators, which only appear at the far left, after you've been to the far right of the screen)
  • Everything breakable destroyed (Although the only breakable objects are in the first level)
  • An 'A' rank in every level (Only obtainable by collecting all items and breaking all objects)
  • Most bosses defeated in one infinite combo
  • Hitting many enemies at one time
  • Defeating the true final boss (only found in hard mode)
  • And most importantly, abusal of Mars' tornado invincibility glitch (She cannot be hit for the brief moment while her tornado animation is playing)
The game can get very repetitive watching it back, due to the fact enemies have such long health bars in hard mode, however I believe this cannot really be made more interesting. Anyone who's played the game before normally should know how tough it can get, so this is more entertaining for the fact that a difficult game is beaten perfectly with everything possible done.

Phil: This is boring to watch. Someone have an opinion about it!?
Bisqwit: I agree with Phil. As the author says, this is very repetitive. The same move sequences are repeated over and over. Despite the movie being "perfect" (I couldn't spot mistakes), it's not really more entertaining to watch than some random player playing it. In this case, perfection didn't create entertainment.
It might be a curious sight for those who know this game, but I doubt it brings surprise to them either, keeping in mind that this is a tool-assisted movie.
