The Sandbox 1 leaderboard has been shaken up in the last few days due to the discovery of a brand new strat by a new runner, @humanhuman.

On July 8th, he posted on the Karlson Discord server a screenshot of a Sandbox 1 time of 3.20s - unbeknownst to him, a world record.

Unfortunately, it was not recorded.

The new strat consists of a combination of a boomer shot and a table boost, whereas the old strat consisted of exclusively boomer shots, and had its speed limited due to overshooting. The table allows you to get speed directed towards the milk, which allows you to get more speed without the risk of overshooting.

On the 9th, it happened: Human human got a new world record of 3.21s for the Sandbox 1 Any% IL: https://www.speedrun.com/karlson_itch_io/run/y62owxqz

The very next day, legend @sirtymoo shattered the record with a time of 3.01s

At this point, it seemed unavoidable that someone would break the 3 second barrier very soon.

After that a series world record close calls ensued, some notable times being @nonagonn's 3.03s, @Term's 3.02s, and @cZar_Void's 3.02s.

On the 11th, something that was thought to be impossible for the past three years happened. The 3 second barrier was broken by @Term with a time of 2.98s.

This is truly a new era on one of Karlson's shortest maps, and only time can tell what other speedy times lie ahead.
