Here is an unassisted glitchless any% run, reviving the classic "All Characters" route. With various new strategies, a game clock completion time of 3 hours and 27 minutes is reached at Lavos' defeat, which seems to make it about as fast as the pure glitchless any% route (Lavos after first 12000BC visit), but with no leveling-up requirement at all on the pro side, other than briefly in Tyrano Lair. Done in 26 segments joined together. Link to video Enjoy!

This is an excellent run, Saturn. Nice and glitchless, as the developers intended. It reminds me of the first TAS I did for this game, except you found a very clever way of letting Magus survive the initial lavos attack without an absurd amount of leveling up being required. Would you ever consider TASing this route out perfectly? I think it would be really nice to have a glitchless run on the site and would serve as a true obsoletion of my old run. You say that this route is about equal in time to the other one facing lavos right after frist 12000BC visit. It would be interesting to know for sure which route is actually the fastest. This one at least is considerably more entertaining, having removed almost all the leveling up sequences.
They're off to find the hero of the day...

Thanks hero. Regarding a TAS, I doubt it would improve this by more than ~10-15 minutes to make a significant difference, so not interested at the moment.
