basically the strategy is getting squished by the balls at the first stage. by going sideways at the swinging ball, because of the width of your body you activate a trigger that activates the balls that go down the slopes at the first stage. if you manage to get squished by them while standing, you might get launched ahead and it can save at max 0.6 seconds, but on average its 0.4 seconds. HOWEVER, it is very inconsistent but it can compensate for a failed ladder flick at stage 11. ill try get video proof of this strat

got it, just skip to like 0:25 for the strat (also im comparing to the wr there)
