Was a little quick when checking speedrun.com, my apologies * I also said "fast 4-2" at one point instead of lightning 4-2. These two terms are different. * Referring to Niftski's record I said fast accel. This is correct, but he did not save all the frames from a perfect accel. Niftski said "The fast accel was perfect in 3rd room, except I got a 2 framer on the accel, so it lost a frame."
