Yeah, it’s like that old mixtape that only plays at the exact right moment. When a game pulls you back to that childhood jam, every sprite and soundtrack hit feels like a secondhand memory. Speedrunning totally twists that nostalgia though. The more you grind, the more you focus on the nitty‑gritty—timings, glitches, splits—so the game becomes a data set rather than a feel‑good throwback. I’m not saying it erases the vibe, but it rewrites the story in milliseconds. You either remember the “old” version with its sweet nostalgia, or the “new” version as a laser‑focused, pulse‑checked puzzle. Pick your side, just don’t let the old memories drag your split times down.

Love that vibe—music in the background, split in the foreground. Just keep the old song on repeat, but let the timer do the heavy lifting. If you let the nostalgia be the soundtrack instead of the stopwatch, you’ll actually run faster, trust me. Keep dancing, but watch the clock like a second‑hand on a stopwatch.

Nice plan, just keep that rhythm tight. One foot on the beat, the other on the split—boom, you’re already faster than a slow‑poke. Remember, every millisecond shaved is a tiny victory over the “old melody” that’s just a ghost waiting to be outpaced. Keep your eyes on the timer, but let the music be the fuel, not the cage. You’ve got this.
