Oh, I found a way through walls. 291 frames faster than the current published run: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/438242934/32x-spiderman-web-of-fire-improvement.gmv The trick does not save any time in these two levels, though: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/426326726/web-of-fire-level-skip1.gmv (About 2000 frames slower, even though the whole fiery factory level is "skipped" or dodged or something.) http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1025172347/web-of-fire-level-skip2.gmv (Final level is... circumnavigated? It is about 1300 frames slower.) Recipe for the trick is here: Grab a wall, shoot web downwards, jump, shoot web again. Do this fast enough and you get inside the wall. You get easily trapped forever, but if the wall is narrow enough, it can be escaped. The trick should allow some shortcuts in level 2, through the narrow steel walls, maybe saving ~10 seconds. I don't like the web swinging, but I can try to help, if somebody wants to do a new run for this game.

I briefly found this same trick on the first boss of the last level, but I could not replicate it when I tried. Web-slinging is a royal pain with this game, so I'm sure there are many more small time savers other than just the wall glitch. Just like aqfaq to seek out the terrible genesis games and try to break them :)

Should this game be renamed? Box art and manual say "The Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire". (I was wondering what the earliest alphabetical game when including the system ID would be, if not being indexed by "The", it would be this :P)
