King's Bounty (Genesis) Progression% WORLD RECORD Speedrun in

Had beat the previous WR by 10 seconds, then obliterated it by almost 6 minutes with this run! This run was done utilizing spreadsheets that help me to discover which seed I am running and then being able to look up where all of the important things are. Still requires a ton of expertise in the game, and this can definitely be beat, but amazing to look back at this and see my first WR in this category was 58 minutes! Big thanks to TascoDLX for the spreadsheets, and Gaunt_XIII, ViolentSynergy, Chillpower, Lady Starbird, and of course SchmidttyGames for helping to keep pushing this game forward.

King's Bounty was a game made in 1990 by New World Computing for the PC. It was ported to the Genesis in 1991 with a number of changes, but the same basic gameplay. It has been a favorite of mine since I first watched my father play it back in the day. This game later spawned the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise, which operated off of some similar principles but in a much more RPG-sense.

The category for this speedrun, Progression%, requires that you capture every villain from each continent before touching foot on the next. This greatly reduces the RNG involved in the traditional 100% run, while still requiring a full clear of the game. The run ends after all puzzle pieces have been found and the Sceptre is located, initiating the end game sequence.
