I never thought i would make it to top 3 but here i am! Still so much time save tho!

Moderator notes: This run was performed using Dolphin 4.0-9017. This version, as well as anything leading to faster load times on emulator, are now banned, as it gives an unfair advantage to emulator players. However, at the time of this run this discrepancy was not known and the rule was not explicitly established. The estimated 44 seconds saved from this enhancement have been added to this leaderboard time resulting in a more fair time of 27:41.11
