NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!- Gain Ground (2 Player Active, All Characters Rescued, Normal Difficulty)

Well "The GioDude", consider your challenge... "Accepted".
Here it is- the culmination of my level-by-level strategies. I've been picking out tactics to use, and am proud to finally say that I've beaten the whole game in one non-savestated run without sacrificing a single life.
Well, in Normal Mode, that is. In Hard Mode, there are no exit buddies- so the only "Losses" I can make are the ones in my party. So therefore, it's better to say "No man (or woman) left behind".
Also, as you will notice, I played with 2-Player active. This is because in 2P mode, 15 additional characters spawn in stages. In this way, instead of having 33 in the final party, there end up being 48 in the final party.
In this combination (Normal Mode, 2 Player Active), the maximum number of characters without deaths can be obtained. But determining the ACTUAL maximum number of characters that can be obtained is a video for another day...
But as GioDude said himself, time can EASILLY still be saved. After all, I probably made just as many mistakes as they did, what with the whole "TIMER" fiasco in 4-3, but I made up for it with a cleaner W5. So maybe in the future I'll try again and improve my record- especially so if GioDude beats me to it!
Here's their run, which inspired me to git gud:
