Mega Man 2 is probably my favorite game for the NES. It's one of those games that I can play over and over again and never get sick of it. The time for this particular run is 30:40, based on TG settings, but my best times have been around 30:20. Also, the wall and ladder glitches are not used. I'm sure you're all familiar with the roof shortcut on Bubble Man's stage, or using item-1 to push you into the walls and fly through the levels. Using these glitches is probably the only way for a human to achieve a sub-30 time in this game. There is a trick I do in Wily Level 4, where I over-jump the screen, making Mega Man appear to teleport up the ladders, and a few parts throughout the run where I use the submenu to improve my accuracy while switching weapons. However, I've shown this to the TG officials, and they've given it the thumbs up.

This run is full of difficult maneuvers, some of which don't really save a significant amount of time, but are done anyway to make the video a little more entertaining. Enjoy.
