Jungle: Not much to say on this level, just running and kill the boss that is random and sometimes it gives you an impossible pattern but i got a decent pattern on this run so i survived. Base 1: Decent rooms, the boss kill could been a little faster but pretty decent base 1 overall. Waterfall: Shoutouts to JDSilvaCA and his 5 ledge skips route. The climb on waterfall was decent the only mistake is that i messed up the last skip, the boss kill was very decent i got the 1 cycle kill. Base 2: The first 2 rooms was a bit slow but the next ones was very good also in the room 5 i did a new strat that requieres to destroy the roller so you can get very good spread rhythm and makes the room much more consistent, on the jumping room i got a 2 jumper so that was very good and saves almost 1 second compared to a 3 jumper, last room was sick and the boss kill was decent the only super little timeloss is one missed shot on the right panel so i have to turn to the right again to destroy it, also shoutouts to Dxtr for his 1 cycle kill setup. Snow Field: Very Decent level overall, the 2 tank kills was a bit slow but not bad and i also didn't go for the Frezyjumps and i simply duck , and the boss on this level is also random it can give you a right side spawn , middle spawn and left side spawn on this run luckily i got the right side spawn which is the best possible spawn you can get so i didn't lost any time on the boss. Energy Zone: Probably the most infamous level of Contra, on this level i lost a lot of PB paces due to the brutal RNG, after the L-Jump before the 2 stationary guys there is 3 flames that can give you 3 different patterns bottom flame this one is a very decent pattern. middle flame the second hardest pattern to get but is the best one overall and the one that i got on this run , and the last one top flame the worst pattern to get it lost 2 seconds compared to middle flame there is also a top flame pattern that let you past without slowing down this one is the best pattern but the odds for this one are very unlikely. oh right so i also got the EXO skip 2.0 no Leap of Faith sadly but the duck on the last stationary guy was absolutely sickand i'm sure it was frame perfect, i also got a pretty decent boss pattern this guy can sometimes jump 4 or 5 times even more sometimes and kill your run. Hangar: On this level i got a very good global timer so i tecnhically didn't lost any time, the B grab route was decent no jumping wallbreak but very decent mash and on the last set of claws i got the perfect pattern to do the pause buffer ,let's move to the boss this kill was very good but not perfect .This level was beautiful is the best hangar i ever got on a PB run. Alien's Lair: The easiest level on the run but is not that easy if you are nervous luckily i clutch it out the level on this run also that ceiling spider before the Heart can sometimes drop and kill you so you need to shoot up to kill it and that was the run.
