At the time, this speedrun landed me in 9th place on the world record list, which I just couldn't even believe... I really don't consider myself to be a speedrunner, and I had no desire of aiming for 1st place, but it still felt pretty great, let me tell you!
Since then, there have been more who have become interested in speedrunning Little Nemo, so I've been knocked down to 18th place, but you know what's really cool? My time is still directly between Bitty_Kong and Demo, the two speedrunners I learned a lot of tricks from. It's such an honour to me to have been able to do well enough that my time can be seen alongside theirs. 
I actually messed up quite a lot toward the end, because I got so crazy excited over getting a difficult trick right in "Purple Hell" that let me keep the lizard to the next zone with the falling spiky ceiling. This allows you to jump without having to worry about the spikes in the ceiling, because they were not programmed to detect collision with the player when riding the lizard! Playing the game the normal way, you would typically ride a frog up to that point, which is a total pain... Still, the fact I got that trick right combined with this being my best time, I'm really happy with how this came out in the end.
Hope any of you who are interested enjoy, and I also hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! If not, here's hoping it'll get much much better. Take care!
