There’s a way to skip having to blow up the barrel to raise the water so you can cross the gap in the laboratory split in the current any% WR. When you get inside the explosive barrel then wait for the claw thing to come pick you up so you can warp onto the wall just before the barrel gets placed onto the conveyor belt. If you warp along that wall to the very end of it, you can hop onto the yellow rail and then just turn around and you will be able to warp onto the roof of the map and you are Oob. You can then just warp over to where the autosave thing is and continue the run as you normally would. I tried seeing if it was faster to skip the grub in that area and just warping to the end and I think it is faster but I usually grab the grub and get the movement speed upgrade because I haven’t actually timed it.

Just thought I would share what I found since I find this game and all the runs pretty enjoyable, if I need to elaborate on what I mean with this skip I can send images highlighting exactly what I mean :)

Haha damn ... I didn't think someone would actually run/care about the game, that's why I never took a look into the forum.

Cool found, I'll give it a try as soon as I get some time. Maybe even considering doing a good time in it again ... we'll see. Thanks for letting us know!

Haha my PB is 23:36. I use to run it a fair bit myself but yeah I found the skip and had to share with whoever actually looks at this forum :p

Wish you luck on any future runs should you decide to do any!
