UPDATE #2

I got it even faster this time, setting an IL record of 1:16!

UPDATE (4/07/2025 10:15 PM)

I've officially done the skip RTA. Took about 40 minutes of just grinding the level to get one successful completion, but even with a really sloppy ending, it saves about a full minute compared to the Villa completion time in the world record. 1:37 vs. 2:32.

So it seems like this could be a yolo strat to go for if a run is too far behind to world record, and I could see this being required for world record one day.

I've been working for a while on finding a skip in the final level, Mansion, and I was finally able to do it. This video uses save states but this could definitely be done RTA with a little practice and working on setups. It's a really big development though as this will likely save over a minute at least. Ignore Simply's stream in the background lol. I'll make a better video when I've practiced it some more.
