Well, here it is - the first sub-29 minute recorded run in zero mission. I started working on this a day or two after I finished my 29:58 single-segment for SDA. at first, my goal was something like 28:20, but spending weeks on segments (especially the first one) just isn't something I'm into, so after about an hour I changed my goal to 28:xx.

I played with some route changes, but ended up throwing them out because either a.) I don't have the skills to pull it off or b.) making a segment 100 times harder isn't worth 5 seconds to me. therefore, the route is the same as my 29:58 single-segment, which is the same as GameCube04's 29:54; simply put, it's the best and easiest route there is. that's not to say that this run is a clone of his, though, as my strategies for just about every room and boss are quite different.

As always, thanks go to GameCube04 for the route and some pointers, nate for capturing my run, and my friend ukie for letting me use his gamecube. getting a time any lower than this will be more frustration than gratification, so this is likely my last zero mission run for a good while; I might play with any% hard, but that won't be for a while. enjoy.
