Charge it to my Card: Towards the end of the level, instead of forward dashing through the bricks, two well timed ground punches will avoid lag. Saves almost 2 seconds.

Waiting for a Change: By using ground punches, and forward dashes when appropriate, you can get a 30 second time. Since it's the first level, I usually reset if I don't get it. Saves 7 seconds.

Satura' Forest Falls: Never stop moving, and you can just barely make an earlier jump on the last platform before the fight. A good way to tell if you got it is, that if the last two enemies you see before the fight, have not crossed paths yet.
