After grinding the story mode enough times, spent 2 hours to clear extra with all 3 characters, learning routing and getting 999+ dyes in a run. Achievements gotten.
All achievements gotten. 3 hours for Cancer Speed, the rest of the time was spent grinding attempts in order to get powerful enough to... no-hit a specific boss.
Still missing wins with a few characters but that isn't an achievement.

Much of this time was spent stupidly trying to beat hard mode 10 with the last world included... And I forgot to record it, amazing. It was about an hour of cleanup later. (total playtime: 17h 20m)
First easy mode with no upgrades, then hard run clear, then hard run with 50k gold. Then finally the challenges. Did not have to grind because I could simply do challenge 4 again.
While grinding for Version B medals, got the 2-ALL with Sadahl, the one character I was missing his ending and better than Loop at certaing things. Then grinded a bit more and got the medals.
Beat the game with a continue, then again (both on hard) with 1.5M points. Then grinded the start of level 5 for the 10k kills, killing my character to force end the run because it doesn't save otherwise until the end of the level.
Game completed at 100%. I was missing like three items when I finished the last level. Luckily they were 2 CDs hidden in the most recondit places possibles of the last levels, and one hat similarly hidden there.
Played the game a bit. Watched a video, then did a full game clear, in 1 hour of ingame gameplay. Then spent the rest of the time doing the challenges for RetroAchievements in level order, like timeouting bosses nmnb and beating stages separately nmnb. I spent a similar-ish time on everything, with the final level being a bit more difficult (and with less restrictions!)
Beat the game on normal, then arcade and with its TLB all in one credit. Thanks, Fire Arrow X ship. (2h 12m) ----------------------------------------------- Grinded the rest of the achievements.
Got a Desperate (hardest difficulty) clear. The game has no continues. It also crashed before I could save the replay. (2h 16m) ------------------------- Cleared the extra on first try then did again a Lunatic 1CC without a crash.
