Since I've been speedrunning OFB for two years, I wanna try to speedrun the second game as well! I don't know any good strats or setup for it, and I only know of one other person who's ran it. I'll try to share my progress as I explore the game and the quickest way to complete it! Hopefully I can figure out how to run TGCR!
I was just thinking of running the 2nd Bone TTG game too, but the only thing that would ruin a run for me is the first puzzle where you have to clean the floor while others keep walking where you just mopped, making it dirty again. Took me like 6-8 minutes to get past my first try, and was the worst part for me, the rest was do able.
I've actually noticed a specific pattern that can get the mopping puzzle done and over with fairly quickly, only problem is that I'd have to brush up on it again and figure out how to get it done quicker. A recording I have of myself playing the game through normally, while also having played it before and figured out the patterns, has the puzzle clocked in at just over 2 minutes. It's definitely doable! I'm super late to responding, deepest apologies for that, but I hope for the best if you do decide to run Cow Race!
I do plan to run Cow Race, though probably after Boneville as I dread Cow Race's mop game at the start. At the same time I also dread that hide and seek game that I think you have to play twice in Boneville?
Ooohh yeah, the RNG of the hide and seek games you play with the Possum kids as Fone and Phoney are an absolute chore and can definitely turn into a run killer. For the Fone hide and seek it's a good idea to get familiar with every hiding spot and try to move around the entire area as much as you can to find the kids as quickly as possible. As for Phoney's hide and seek, that's pretty much all luck with how the AI of the kids work. Bone 1 is much easier to run, so definitely give it a shot!
