Extremely good run! I beat my old time of 26:26. I was prompted to try again at this category because a fellow speedrunner and HWVX fan, Alaxend0l, challenged my 26:26 time by getting a 26:28, only two seconds behind my old run. I was happy to have some competition and did many attempts, resulting in this run.

This run has some differences compared to the old run, like how I use HW Prototype 12 for Mission 1 and 2 now. I used to use Jet Threat 3.0 and Power Rocket respectively because they made the skips easier. However, besides making the skips easier, they were slightly slower vehicles. Now, I use HW Prototype 12 for those skips because I've practiced them enough to where I can do it with that car, and it's a bit faster. Also, in Mission 4, there's a new cool ramp jump strat towards the end of the Mission discovered by Alaxend0l. This makes the Mission faster, and is easy to do with Jet Boosters, so I use Jet Boosters now in Mission 4 instead of the Quantum Annihilator. There's also a couple new strats in Mission 8... I tried to do the first one which involves riding an invisible wall to get to the disk early, but I screwed it up. I did manage to do the other new strat successfully, which is a ramp jump to get into the tiny upper entrance and is pretty difficult. I also did an extremely good Fastlane kill in Mission 9. I got the Mission 12 skip after a few tries, so it didn't go too bad. Lastly, the new fastest way to do Mission 14 is by starting out with Jet Boosters instead of the Quantum Annihilator. This is because you can get a Quantum Annihilator in the Rupert fight, and the Jet Boosters makes getting to the fight fast enough to save time. I think that covers pretty much all the main differences!
