From the beginning this run weren't supposed to be posted here at SDA. It was just to beat Brian Sulphers world record on twingalaxies. I sat down and played this american version to see how hard it was to beat the record. I planned to improve this run with at least 15 seconds. Maybe times around 08:30 is possible. I made the decision to send it after all. I know that people want to see it and I'm sure of that I will not play this game in a long time from now on. One of the reason is random boss fights. I hate it. And I'm not ready to face the random bosses from this game in a while.

Thanks goes to Brian sulpher for his "official" world record over at twingalaxies and also to Jeremy "rabdpnguin" Capello. He got 9:24 ones and we have talked some trough MSN about duck tales.

This run is easy to do. Still it isn't perfect. The hard thing with running this game is the boss fights, that's where you shave the seconds. Especially the magica and the last boss fight. In easy mode you don't have to worry that much about the rat becuse its hard to die. I did this easy run becuse you can take a lot of damage on bosses and kill them quicker that way.

The snowman fight wasn't too beautiful and the jump after defeating the last boss when I grab the rope was a little bit off but some places I ran really fast too. If you noticed I take an item in the jungle so I'm invincible for a while. This item doesn't exist in hard mode so I couldn't use it there.

After I did my Duck tales II run I watched my old hard mode run for this game for the first time in months. The quality was poor and the game play were bad compared to what I can do so I couldn't stand it. I did an improvement with 25-30 seconds.

Theoretically a hard mode run can be done as fast as a perfect easy run but is about 1 000 000 000 % harder. You need lucky boss fights and have to pull off a lots of very tight tricks.

The european version is slower then the american version. I thought the difference would be 16-17% but I guess its not that much. There are also other differences not speed based. Some tricks you can pull off on the PAL version but are impossible on the NTSC version. Jump over the huge gap in the amazon stage as the best example. Some tricks are also easier to do on the PAL version.

This run is a little tricky to do if you go for a good time. I died a lot the day I did this run. Moustly one the boos in the moon stage and the final boss Dracula duck. but also the hole amazone stage is tricky and the fight against Magica. The easiest part is the african mines and Himalayas. The reason why I begun with the moon stage is becuse thats the hardest stage.

The run is far from perfect but I'm satisfied. It feels like I can't be really serious on the PAL version anyway.
