Now down to 1:10, including a Kraid quick-kill. Could probably shave off another couple as some sections were sloppy. Basically all I need to do is mockball in one place and I'll be under an hour (meaning I can skip Spore Spawn), but that's a bitch on a keyboard.

On my SNES emulator i use the arrows for movement and the shift-ctrl-windows-alt + Z and X for all the other commands. Enter is the start button. Haven't had any problem doing so.
Good luck on trying to break the hour limit ;)

Cheers. Down to 1:16 now having finished the current run (could probably trim another minute by not being sloppy in the Zebes escape scene, i.e. not missing the old Tourain shaft shinespark), will try out those keys some other time, since posting that FTP offered me a bonus to clear so that takes precedence at the moment.
