{{db=== Versions List ===*'''US PRG0''': Saves 1 frame on most loading screens over US PRG1, for a total of about a third of a second over the course of an Any% run. Unfortunately, this version is very prone to random crashes, particularly in areas with a lot of sprites on screen such as stage 15.*'''US PRG1''': As outlined above, loading times are slightly slower than PRG0 but it's not subject to random crashes.*'''1993 FC Re-author}}Release''': Loading times are nearly the same as US PRG1, but it saves 6 frames after each orb grab, for a total of half a second throughout an Any% run. Additionally, hearts count down faster at the end of a stage (2 frames per heart vs. 8 frame per heart on US PRG1). This is the fastest version available.*'''Original FDS Releases''': As they are on FDS, they present very long loading times.The 2019 Anniversary Collection contains versions US PRG0 and the 1993 FC Re-Release. To distinguish between a PRG0 and a PRG1 cartridge, look on the back and see what the sticker says. If it says REV-A, it's PRG1, otherwise it's PRG0. Other identicators are the Nintendo Seal of Quality on the front sticker (If black it's PRG0, if white it's PRG1) and the circuit board itself:<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:560px">'''PRG0 board'''<div class="mw-collapsible-content">[[File:PRG0 pcb.jpg | 300px]]</div></div><div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:560px">'''PRG1 board'''<div class="mw-collapsible-content">[[File:PRG1 pcb.png | 300px]]</div></div> === Timing ===Time starts upon gaining control of Simon, and ends upon grabbing the orb at the end of level 6.*The exact starting frame is the frame Simon touches the ground in stage 01, or the second non-black frame after the intro scene.**The offset to be used from the start press on title screen is -9.517 (572 frames @60.098Hz)*The exact ending frame is the second consecutive frame the orb disappears if grabbed as soon as it spawns, or the frame the orb disappears if grabbed after it spawns. === Categories === *''Any%'' - Beats the game as fast as possible.*''Whip Only'' - Beats the game without the use of subweapons.*''Low%'' - Beats the game without the use of subweapons, whip upgrades, or special items such as potions, rosaries, or pork chops.*''Easy Mode'' - Beats the game on The FC version's Easy Mode.*''2-loop'' - Beats the game, then beats the Second Loop (Hard Mode).
