It's a very interesting idea though I'm thinking that you collected 204 so you could perhaps skip 3 in one of the levels that you diverted to get them if possible, but I guess for safety that would be dumb until we start getting the route more optimal. I may try this if I can cut my any% time.

United States

Edited the route notes to make the option available to skip over the frame perfect cutscene skip in Honeymoon Lagoon for anyone who may be interested (My 1:34:52 was done without the Honeymoon lagoon Cutscene Skip)

There are now 4 levels with backup power cells listed.

Derbyshire, England

(I meant more I'd practice this as soon as my any% runs are like 1:50 instead of 1:57 XD) It's an interesting concept of a run anyway, and may take more thought process than the others due to every level affecting each other due to the 200 needed power cells. XD

United States

Yeah it was a lot of fun to route, I have it routed so every level only takes 2:00-3:30. pretty well optimized so far. I'll have a video up later this week for reference too. This will be added as a category too so there will be active leaderboards for it soon.

Also Marxvile since you play on PAL it will always be a good bit slower, your 1:55:40 translates to 1:36:23 in NTSC(obviously movement is a little easier in PAL but thats what it wouldve been)

Derbyshire, England

I guessed, I deduced it after I got the time but because of my tendencies of doing things too early (leap of fox is one) I feel like NTSC may ironically be better for me in terms of accuracy in tricks too so I've been looking at that XD I guess I could aim for 1:50 still XD

As for the topic of this thread, I may look at it later this week then and see if there are undiscovered things that may be useful (I know that you've done a lot of stuff on this, so it won't be long, probably just going to be me being unuseful like I was in Jungle Japes XD)

United States

Please do! The more people that get interested in this category the more it can become optimized :)

Have you read through it? Does it seem easy to understand? Fat Bear Mountain and Weight For I!t have pretty long explanations I was a little worried about that.

Derbyshire, England

I think I do, if I have time tomorrow I'll do a blind playthrough of some of the levels using this as a guide and report back :)

There is a problem with submitting runs for Silver Evo! It makes you enter something in every player box rather than just needing to enter 1 player(yourself) otherwise it says "you didn't enter enough players"

Derbyshire, England

I had a tiny look at the routes (mainly the 2 levels you thought were hardest to understand from what you wrote - Weight For It! and Fat Bear Mountain) and think that you explained them pretty well tbh. I got what you were meaning after a minute of looking around, so perhaps for newer players or something it may be worth making a tutorial of a per level basis?

United States

yeah a full video tutorial of the route would be nice but i cant do it atm

Derbyshire, England

I can do ILs if you want and compile them on a level by level thing as I learn the 99% routes too XD But they'll be slower than yours for sure.

United States

Edited the route, thanks mcill for pointing out how dumb I am for my engine room route. I just realllly wanted to use leap of dog xD

The 3 power cells in engine room from computers have been changed to have 2 in Rocky Hard Place and 1 more in Hot Cross Buns.

United States

mcill, I know there are some problems with the route that i havent found solutions for.. thats what your here for! help me out!

Canada

An Abomination!!! I'm looking at things right now. I had to do the route before I could comment on anything. I just really feel like getting those power cells over other ones (eg ratomatic under the pipe) is a tragedy.

United States

I changed the route...More changes coming soon -1 from Sting In The Tail +1 to Rat-O-Matic

United States

More changes: -1 Borassic Park -1 Pinball Blizzard +1 Weight For It! +1 Ice 'n' Easy Does It

United States

After almost a year ive gone back and taken a look at the route for this category. it seems that there are definitely some quiestionable power cells and certain things that need to be timed. I want to continue working on this route soon.

oh god i just realized that doing the biker hyena launch only removes 1 power cell from the route. so of course thats what well be doing now.
