Good job on the two runs you did yesterday. The usage of the Water Hat was phenomenal.

Note: These runs are very beatable and are more of videos outlining preliminary strategies that I came up with each level.

Well, in the terms of levels, it looks like you two are half and half. If my Snowcone Desert time was valid (i.e. able to be recorded without lag), I would have taken the time... anyway, it is shocking the progress.

I'm not so sure about that 50.600

I refuse to believe that Mortimer's Gun was actually useful at this level. This run is probably the easiest of my 3 newest ones to beat.

Also:
So many frames perfect input.

1. I think using 2 diet gravels than a bubble bottle near the end saves more time overall than using a surge soup to avoid left and right turns.

Well, the firesnake and the moving Dino are a problem. This level is already hard with speed 1.

Sparkling Breeze
1. Use 3 Diet Gravel instead and figure out a relatively damgeless route, I've been hit 6 times and am only 7 seconds away from beating a 1:02. When you use the second bubble bottle instead just damage boost there and break the brick during i-frames

I prefer not to make more frame-perfect inputs to kill the chucks as if I am running triple the speed than before.

Thunder Alley
1. I definitely thinking that using 3 diet gravel at the start would allow for a quicker time. There's a lot of horizontal running in this level.

Well, I tried that. It barely save anytime since you have to wait for the Metroid platform twice in the level.

That's the best I can do without my mind breaking from all the failure attempts. Ignore the background noises, I forgot to turn off my mic.

If you're not going to do it I'm just going to do it myself

A sub 1 minute is possible.

Let me just shave 2 frames off that

And let me just shave 0.8 seconds off that.

Again???. The pipe right after the checkpoint is so annoying to deal with is probably what you're talking about.

gg
I can't perform such a perfect run, especially with the seven blocks height jump at the end.

So, how do you consistently do the last 2 fuzzies in section 2? I've been trying to play this level and I only can get past section 2 in around 1 out of every 50 tries due to those 2 fuzzies. My current PB is 41:092
I hate this level. I hate everything about this level. I'm going to take a break from prototype district after this. I don't think any of the things I did differently actually saves time so I made the run harder for myself for no reason

I usually have to wait for the fuzzies to line up.
Well, a sub 41 is possible.

No? If you cheat you can't call it a speedrun.

Speedruns have to be done legit without cheating because that is just faking it so it doesn't count sorry.
