GG on the new PB/WR and the IL, AmoebaUK. 👌

It's a really big improvement on the last PB. I wonder how much further we can go now. 😬

Well, if you add up the current IL records, all of which are AmoebaUK's, and his best for Mr Dark, you get to 21 minutes and 3 seconds. Looks like that's more than 3 minutes less than the current record for a full-game run?

The 2 seconds in Ancient Forest won't add much to it. 😬
