Got my PSP back, and here are those times I mentioned:
Boss Rush Normal - 04:16.46
Boss Rush Dash - 03:59.53 (phew, just made it...)
Full Boss Rush - 10:37.34
Total - 18:54.13
Passed a few landmarks here: Sub-four minutes on Boss Rush Dash, sub-eleven minutes on Full Boss Rush and sub-nineteen minutes Total.
I was really nervous while I was waiting for Shaft's Ghost's orb to fall that I wouldn't quite make it. Stupid slow-falling orbs...
Anyways, I don't see myself cutting much time off of my current Boss Rush Normal and Boss Rush Dash times at this point - like I said, the strategy is basically "kill the first boss or two, grab the Key and never look back," except I use Holy Water for Hydro Storm against Shaft's Ghost. I don't even grab the Stopwatch for use against the Minotaur and the Dullahan anymore, as doing so means not having the Key against Death and Shaft.
I'm sure I could still cut off some time from my Full Boss Rush time, maybe even to sub-ten minutes, but I'm not sure I'm going to bother (at least not anytime soon), as Full Boss Rush can be rather frustrating. A sub-eighteen minute total may be possible as well, though it would require an insane amount of luck (or a TAS).
In any case, I think I'm gonna take a little break and get some Zelda-ing done - my friend just lent me The Minish Cap the other day. I'll still be around to respond to any questions/comments you have, though. I might copy my file and mess around with Maria a little bit, too, though, frankly, I really don't care for her style.
