Boss Rushes of Rage - Worst Enemy Placement Ever

Original post by CajNatalie*
After seeing a few mods with bad enemy placement over time... I had the idea of making a troll mod.
Eventually I went with it... this mod uses awful enemy placement. The idea is that the mod is designed to kill you... it is not designed to be beaten on Mania (though it's definitely possible, and I have done so myself).

After some testing, and sharing it with Vecta and Laucorn... turns out that the way I've done this has somehow turned out masochistically fun, and a good way to train.
The V5 Boss Rush too easy for you? I mean... it doesn't use Mania AI, and you only face one at a time... so if you want a new challenge, try this mod.

Basically, this mod demonstrates how NOT to do enemy placement.
eg: Souther is not a swarm enemy. For fucks sake, don't use Souther as a mook! Ever!
In fact SoR1 bosses in general should seldom be used in swarms... the exception being the twins (as long as you don't set them to Onihime/Yasha).

Notes
-Murphy (police special) is available everywhere, and you will need him.
The only way to beat this on Mania (without cheats) is to use Murphy, and even then you're screwed.
-Enemies are the same in all routes... what you pick just determines the difficulty
(the presentation and swarm sizes).
-Changing the difficulty also affects swarm sizes (so you have 2 ways to combine difficulty choices).
Easy mode is for cowards.
Normal mode is getting off easy.
Hard mode is recommended for most players.
Very Hard mode is where the pain begins.
Mania mode should expect to fail.
2P mode also adds more enemies.
-Final boss of the route on the right isn't supposed to be won.
It is possible... but you won't win unless you fluke it.

Chan Defeats Skullfuck Mania as Shiva

I couldn't see how this was possible since he has no police call, but Chan knew how to get through.
If you hit play, prepare for the most epic gameplay ever.

Thx

So...am I supposed to beat this on Mania without using any continues for each route? Or am I allowed to use all the continues? And how many police calls am I allowed?
