Keen Speedrunning Records Reloaded
Using serious glitches and save/load to get to the level edge and thus finish the level while being dead (or dying anyway) -- I don't think such runs should be count.

IMO it totally counts, and I believe it could be done in less time still. You see where he takes too long to break the fuse in Korath Base III? Also the new record for Keen 6 appears to be 3:29.
I was checking out the profile for 3v3ryUs3rn4m31sT4k3n - the guy who did the keen 5 2:42 speed run, and found something fascinating from Keen 6. I remember reading about this secret area in the Second Dome of Darkness years ago, but never really looked for it.

Is this just another April Fools joke (I didn't think so, since the video was posted in February...), because I can't find that "door" anywhere?Gr1nreaper wrote:I was checking out the profile for 3v3ryUs3rn4m31sT4k3n - the guy who did the keen 5 2:42 speed run, and found something fascinating from Keen 6.

I don't think it's a joke. I just did a google search and found other references of it here: http://www.al-morrin.co.uk/samira/keen/hints6.html. Here's the quote.
There is a mirror in the Second Dome of Darkness . To get to it, use the no clippings cheat while jumping up and right. Save the game, then return to it, and you should be in a dark area beyond 'blocks'. Use the no clippings cheat again to get below the platform of blocks and you should see a mirror with the letters 'ICU' above them. At least I can't see it myself, but others have.

Agreed. Glitch runs should be separate.
If anyone makes a Galaxy run using the save/load glitch, a K6 Run using the impossible bullet, or a Vorticons run using the F8 glitch, it should be in a different category.

Wow, great job with the mirror video -- but it's a faux. Someone (and I have a feeling I know who ) just added some new tiles and stuff there. This thing was done years ago with a fake screenshot -- but it's nice to see it coming alive this way.
