The general RTA hard route. I'm using a hacked rom that fixes the dpad controls, I can't play it with default controls. Doesn't matter what order you get the items in since you can only hold one at a time, I chose this route because of the skip you have to do twice, to get Buddha and Flask, is easy to die on so wanted to do those first. Only randomness I know of is the jewel drops that sometimes appear in rooms. They are annoying because they cause lag as the score counts up from their points.
