* UPDATE *
Finally, after a little less than two months of frustration, I beat the crap out of Sandworm.
The fight lasts around 55 seconds, which is great since I hated that damn worm more than anything else that I hate. Really, this boss completely made me lose the will to time attack. After two months, I finally decided that even though THAT fight wouldn't be perfect, I would do it anyway. I should have done that long ago.
It is done now, friends. Enjoy it, because I will NOT re-do this one. That's really the worst point in the game so far. Even worst than the raft scene.

I will now continue normal work on the speed run. Updates should come at the usual pace they appeared before that long break I took. I hope to finish that time attack soon, so that I can get frustrated after Earthbound (I'll time-attack that game too, for those who don't follow the forum too much).
