I was wondering about how optimized Normal Mode scores are compared to Lunatic. As such I made this Normal TAS picking the C2 route as I had already done this route on Lunatic and thus was most familiar with it.

Compared to the Lunatic TAS, I found significantly more innovations that lead to higher score potential, such as two extra 30% freezes on the knifering section in Stage 1, an extra bomb on Star's first spell, improved ring fairy positioning in Stage 3 and a dramatically improved Stage 3 Non 2 route featuring the headsit safespot. Beyond that alot of freezes have been planned and executed better as well.

All that said Normal Mode shows to have the potential of more innovations than I thought, given that less bullets take away chances to innovate. There was however one suicide in this route (that being the second suicide on Luna's first spell) that ended up being unnecessary because the reduced damage from the death wasn't necessary to let Luna live. I couldn't figure out where to move this suicide to however, so for a real attempt this would be one extra life you can afford to waste, depending on where it happens.
