Description

A 3 second improvement to Undersea Caves, by eliminating the mistake at the end of the previous record to save one cycle. There are 3 known ways left to save time:

  • The TAS setup for the superswim trick, where dynamite is thrown near the top of the long fall down, bounces off the right wall and then off the floor and then off the corner on the left (saves a 3 second cycle)
  • Closing the help page as early as possible (there may be a setup where the 2nd dynamite is thrown earlier and bounces off the floor, so that the timer on it has run down more when you press help
  • An awkward dynamite jump right at the very end so that you don't have to wait for the final 3 blocks (saves 1 second)

The pauses in the water are to lose a small amount of time in order to align the fish with the block cycle as you exit the water. There was no chance to make the earlier block cycle, but I was on track to arrive 1 second early for the next one. If you wait 1 second after the fish jump for the blocks, the fish attacks you on the first block, so the waiting is done earlier instead.

Attempts: 274 (since last PB)
