You guys, I don't know how to play Spelunky anymore...

I went with @thurbleton's Fast Saturday Challenge. Although, I forgot about it for the first 8 mins of the run >_>

The extra second or so is from the dying animation that happened after I pressed the End Adventure button.

@amarriner, I assume you were doing the 10 min challenge too, right? :P

My entry for the Fast Friday Speedy Saturday challenge ended exactly how I wanted; in horrible, horrible death. I can't wait till next week to try to balance my greed vs the time given.

Here is a brief run down of what the 'speed challenge' were talking about is....

The Fast Friday Speedy Saturday Challenge is welcome to anyone to try. Here are the rules...

• The person with the most money wins
• You have either 10 in game minutes or 12 real time minutes to complete the challenge (if you are still alive at that time you choose to [End Adventure] from the menu)
• Anything goes; Ghosting farming, killing shopkeepers, Olmec or Yama bonus cash, etc
• Proof of either end of game screenshot showing in game time + money with your death or a video recording of your run is needed for submission

The point is to show skill in acquiring money while also managing your time efficiently as well as providing shorter footage to compare with other racers as well as 'level the playing field' for spelunkers who haven't gotten out of the first few worlds. If you are in need of a 'stopwatch' you can one of the timers from Speed Runs Live

Here are the scores so far

• Name / Money / Time

1. @beachthunder with $60850 in 10min 01sec
2. @thurbleton with $22,900 in 2min 19sec
3. @amarriner with $22,850 in 8min 4sec
4. @jayc4life with $15,900 in 3min 32sec

Again, time is only counted if over the 10/12 timer

I will update the leaderboard as people post

I probably won't ever do the speed challenge.

Man, what a shitty seed... but I was able to beat Yama at least. The only items I had when I beat Yama were the Hedjet, Shotgun, Spike Boots, and a Cape (...I got the Cape from a vampire in Hell). The only good thing about this seed was the abundance of bombs. My bombs weren't sticky, though.

I really wanna know how the hell cbm managed to get 2.3 million on this seed...

Guess they call it Speedy Saturday for a reason. That reason being speedy death.

@jayc4life really nice jukes around the ghost, hope you enjoyed the challenge and gl next time!

@beachthunder: ha, I wish! Just a dumb, dumb mistake.
