I first speedran this about aeons ago and got a 2:17. Then sirhenryjones on YouTube beat it with a 1:59 and I thought that run to be unbeatable, the boss fight was incredibly accurately played. 6 years later I revisited it and a few days later ended up with this short but fun run. 1. Valden Park: The first building packed with Vorticons was crossed very quickly, a rare occurence. Then I go on to miss a simple jump and waste a second :) 2. Caves of Oblivion: Somewhat good, could shave a half second or so. 3. Castle of the Grand Intellect: I think you can hit the bottomright target a cycle earlier with incredible accuracy and perhaps save a second. Other than that it went pretty optimal with no shots missed, yay! Doubt I'm going to improve this but someone else is welcome to try ;)
