• level1 : At the beginning I tried to make the first three skeletons drop one or two power ups, but this time I had really no luck, and I decided to keep playing anyway. I won a few time against the first boss : by crouching under his legs, you can skip a part of fight by triggering a bug;

  The most important part of the level is ... picking up the moon card and the sun card! Actually, it will make sure we can consume 6 hours by advancing up to the night at the beginning of the next level, just to enter the villa around 3 O'Clock a.m; ( for the meeting with Rosa in case you don't know the game ); The sun card is needed for the fourth level.

  Note also that the second boss can hurt you and -even worse- make you lose time easily, that's why I fought him an unloyal way... By the way, I don't pick up to many items during the game, I prefer making a good run and just relie on the life refreshing after each level.

• level2 : At the beginning, it's time to "consume" a few hours, in order to meet Rosa just at dawn. I did not fight the dragon as expected, but a perfect run is impossible and I didn't lose more than 30 seconds. Finally, look at the second tower : climbing is quite easy if you don't miss the predictible opportunities!

• level 3: The meeting with Rosa is almost perfect, that's important for the whole run to be fluent. There are also strategies to beat vampires -or hell dogs- quickly with holy waters as you can see. I pick up two purifying and I got caught by vampires twice during the game, I can't explain why I never manage to avoid it...

• level 4: There are not a lot of things to say about this level; if you learn where to go in this maze and if your suncard is ready for the last door, it's easy; Nevertheless, I got hit by simple bats twice : It had never happened before, although I did this game at least 200 times in my life...

• level 5: The main part of the game, with the famous nitro run! Anyway it's not the most stressing part of the game to me. The tower of clock is more tricky and moreover it's the last level, after one hour of recording! An important way to spare time is to kill the lizards as I did, I meen by hitting alternatively each of both you have to fight at the same time. Remember you have to fight 24 of them ! There are random spawn an in fact I had to slay 26 of them; I also got poisonned after the first fight, and so I picked up a hidden healing kit later : many gamers don't know this tip.

  I would like to comment the fight against Rosa : as you can see, unloyality is a quality here, remote firing helps us! I swap for the cross in this level just for this fight, and I pick up a holy water on the way just after it.

  Finally I gather two sun cards : one for this level, since vampires are weaker during the day, and one for Dracula later. This tip comes from the previous run by Marshmallow.

• level 6: There are different way to beat each boss, I tried the safest without losing too much time : crouching next to the grating so that they get stuck in. One thing is sure, everybody avoids the third fight ( not only during runs ) with the bottom way which is sometimes considered a secret passage although it is obvious ... You will aslo notice how nervous I was: I got hit stupidly many times!

• level 7: During the previous run, David Gibbons had problems with a skeleton there. I am lucky, he didn't even spawn with me ! I particularly hate the last passage with both axes and bone pillars.

• level 8: A boss.

• level 9: Here there are many silly ways to die. During a run, I got killed in the wheels. David Gibbons also fell two times while trying to catch the last key. For instance I fell once in the first passage.

• level 10: Dracula. I'm not really happy about the second fight, but since everything seems to be fine before and since there are no major mistakes, I won't make the whole run again for -at most- one minute. The very last boss may be beaten within 10 seconds if you don't get hurt while sitting between his tail : of course I had no luck, like anybody while recording...

This run is a Carrie run in normal mode. First of all, I didn't pick up either gold, nor any purifying or cure ampoule, in order to spare time. I just picked up three chickens, three roast beefs and one hidden healing kit in the castle center. This was in fact useless, I just ate a chicken against the the two dragon's heads in the castle wall, but I feared I would lack some meat against the last Dracula. Finally, the fight was not so tough. My goal was to solve a well known problem for speedrunners: how to avoid waiting for Rosa. Let's talk about the levels:

Forest of silence: I picked up the moon card at the beginning, this a tip I will explain later. There's no need to say more about this level, I guess.

Castle wall: I didn't have problems here, except against the boss. I had to eat the chicken since fighting the first head with rings is dangerous but I found it a bit faster than loading fireballs, and perhaps less dangerous; this head moves well and always hits me. One important point is that I used my moon card at 1 O'Clock PM to "consume" 5 hours, and this way avoid the waiting time in the rose garden.

Villa: I fought the Cerberus with rings, as they often avoid my balls. There nothing to say about the first vampire, but as you can notice, I could have used my card one hour earlier, I lost 30 seconds waiting, this was the best time I had ever done! At the end, I take the chicken during the fight, while the vampire turns himself into mist, it is not time-consuming.

Underground: I had one problem with a bomb-skeletton, my ball didn't focus him, I began to worry, waiting for the spikes to fall, and finally I got hit and I decided to try a jump under the second ones, although it is dangerous; this time, I had luck.

Castle center: I didn't do a lot of mistake, but one of them annoyed me: the first vampires didn't die as I expected and I lost at least 30 seconds again, which makes one lost minute since the beginning of the game. I just wanted to stress how Carrie's sister at the end is easy with holy water as you can see.

Tower of sciences: I was not far from Dracula, but the roughest part begins, and I decided to be as careful as possible, there are hundreds ways to die in the last 15 minutes of the run. I fear especially the moment after the second key, when I had to jump on two little platforms, while fired on by the guard towers.

Tower of sorcery: It's the level where the pressure is the strongest. There's dark and vacuum everywhere, there are ice men lurking everywhere and as you can see, I prefered to kill the last one, because this betrayer killed me most times during training while jumping on the two last cristals.

Actrise: no problem ;)

Clock tower: The last but not the least, it is still possible to die or even worse, to fall and to lose time! Look at the nice bug in the second room, it wasn't on purpose, I thought it could kill me for a few seconds ! :p. In the last room, falling on the platforms where the third key is hidden is easy, just run and let you fall, jumping increases the risks to fall next to your goal.

Dracula: It could have been faster but I won't whine, I didn't use any meat, and I realised I could have done all the run without losing time with them .
