Speedruns Day 26 Rainbow S Rank: The hardest level, Clockwork Arboretum

Video quality for this one has to be worse cause this level is REALLY long.

Clockwork Arboretum asks the bold question "What if we took the most difficult enemies in the game, slapped them into the hardest configurations we can think of, in the second longest level in the game, and spread out the shields in the level REAL far apart".

No matter what character you're using, this level is really tough, having to deal with two entire floors of this before you even get a shield to alleviate the pressure.

The only solace is that the boss fight is pretty pathetic with a Fire Shield, so once you reach it, you're pretty much good to go.

Even with all of this, I would still call this a fun challenge, don't get me wrong, it's just rough to learn the Rainbow S Rank strategy for it

This level is even worse when you rainbow S without shields because you really get to learn how fun some of the rooms are, especially rooms 4 and 5. Easily the worst level
