After some experimenting during failed runs on my way to sub 13:00, I have discovered some strategies that I used to achieve this goal.

• First strategy was using the grass in Mac-Race. This is a pretty easy trick, but going too far past the first bush on the 4th turn can cause the game to not recognize the lap. I have used this a few times but the RNG with the enemies taking the boxes has not been in my favor. Nice time save there!

• Second strategy I found is cutscene movement. This is used during Moody Mansion and ??? to start movement before the level fade in. These are the only two levels I have found success with this in.

I hope this helps any future runners out! :D
