Join Timing

If you join a match at the right time, it’s possible to snag a win quickly. This way, it’s possible to get sub 4 second times. However, it’s not possible to know how a match is going without looking at the cloud history, which takes too long, meaning you’ll have to try over and over and get lucky to find a match that’s almost over.

After that, you’ll either need to quickly eliminate the remaining players, or if you’re lucky, the player will get eliminated without your input, leading to a quick run.

The Ceaseless Strategy

The Ceaseless Strategy

With this strategy, you could get sub 3 on any of the Obtain Power Up subcategories. 

The Strategy:
When spawning in a new game that has an open layout you directly spam the space bar so a bomb appears. Then directly start moving towards the middle along the border to the nearest bush, run away from the beam that will eventually come from the spawned in bomb. Run to a spot where you can easily pick up the powerup that will appear from the bush.

Extra Notes:
This is the best-done strategy while it's possible to get sub 0.3 that takes incredible RNG and help from random players who you cant communicate with
