(EDIT 2:
Sailor Mars HARD MODE Perfect Recoding here! - 30min 22sec from first to last in-game input)
Features: No damage taken, every enemy defeated, every item collected, all 'A' ranks, most bosses defeated in one combo, hitting up to five enemies at one time, abusal of the tornado invincibility period, and the true final boss (only in hard mode)
(EDIT:
Download HERE! (now outdated, nowhere near as cool as the hard mode run :P)
Okay, sure, it's hardly considered the best game in the world, but I'm playing it as a personal goal more than anything else. I like it, at least. :P
I'm playing it with the character (drumroll) Sailor Moon. ( I figured it would be blasphemous to use anybody else :P ...plus, I'm not sure of the other characters moves, or if their damage rates are any better/worse.. I'll find that out later, though ^^; )
I'm up to Level 3 so far, around half way through the game. I had to repeat the second level many, many times due to de-syncing, but I've been retrying it so many times, I've finally got a run through to the end of level 3 that all works perfectly.
Random features so far: 'A' ranks on all levels, all items (that I know of) obtained, no damage taken, some bosses killed in one straight combo.
I have no doubt that my final movie will be beatable, but hey, I'm satisfied with my current run in any case. ^_^
