Description

A new record on Cliffs by 3 seconds, which saves a cycle by getting the toggle block at 1:15​ with a couple of tight jumps. Cliffs is not actually that hard, apart from the crazy amount of RNG and reacting quickly to the rolls from the peglegs.

Some improvements to the start almost completely remove RNG, although bad RNG can make it more difficult. I used a DJ after the 1:15​ block because this gives an extra 2 seconds or so. This spare time means that there is almost no RNG in reaching the 4 ropes if played correctly, which is a huge improvement. Without this DJ this section is really tight and needs very good RNG to get through it fast enough. Note that the DJ actually doesn't save time at all, it just make it significantly more likely to make the rope cycle at 1:45​. It is maybe a 10% or 15% chance to get good enough RNG to get this time with DJs allowed. Glitchless would be a lottery, maybe 1% or 2% chance to get good enough RNG.

I don't know if cliffs can be done any faster than this (apart from saving about 0.2 seconds with a perfect jump off the last block on this route). A faster run would need to reach the four ropes at 1:40​ since the 1:43​ rope doesn't work - it is hard to see how this could be done without using the help screen.
