The map design is poor and there are no outstanding weapons. However, this item 2 design is quite good. It can use the wall as thorns for teleportation. It's the first choice to start with.

I took a look at what I had done before and found it completely unappealing. Many of the places were clearly not the best solution, so I had to redo it this time. The final conclusion is that it's okay. Being able to outperform my last time by more than 34 seconds is a relatively significant improvement.

Darkman425: Fixed the encode link in the submission to show up correctly.

There was one small bit I felt was potentially missed. In Heat Man's stage, around the 3 minute mark in the TAS, Item 2 could've been used as an extra platform to jump up from to skip a part of climbing the ladder. This only popped out to me when there was still some weapon energy left for the weapon at the end of the stage. Otherwise this all seems fine and well optimized to me. Nice work!

Accepting to Standard.

Darkman425: Setting this to Delayed while the author works on improvements.
