Pipe Maze Help

Hi I started running this game and I currently have a 48:59. In my PB I lost almost 7 minutes to pipe maze. Does anyone have any tips for this mini game or am I just slow at processing where the pipes are?

I'm a bit slow at processing it as well. The thing I do is look at the gaps between the 1st and 2nd pipes and 2nd and 3rd pipes (1st is on the left) and then ignore the gap between the last 2 pipes. This'll usually narrow it down to a 1/2 chance of getting it every time, because you'll likely be able to eliminate the 1st or 2nd pipes by looking there. Other than that, just practice!

When I play the game it feels like I sort of skim over the pipes one by one, and ignore everything that goes on except for the target route. For example, as the pipe rides up, I look at the left pipe, and then as soon as I see a cross-pipe, I look at the second pipe. Then I look for the next cross-pipe, and shift to the next one. It's all about minimizing the amount of things your eyes process. If you cut it up into fast chunks of "this pipe to this pipe to this pipe" It would be much easier than looking at every pipe at once and seeing many different cross pipes.

Thanks both of you! I think Im getting the hang of it and Im hoping to get that sub 40 soon! :D

I'm gonna try and use save-states to figure out the possible outcomes, and found out how many versions of Pipe Maze there are. Hopefully it's not randomly generated each time!
