It would be nice to find a skip for the first 2 mins of the run lol

I'm positive it's impossible. I'd love to be wrong but there's no real way to skip or speed up anything in the first 2-3 minutes. The only way to somehow improve times is to aim faster and better. I can probably improve my WR run by additional 4-5 seconds, but unless the path changes getting below 3:52 should only be possible in a TAS run.

I'm attempting a new skip right now just to prove it's possible, no luck so far. I've only made one successful attempt while playing around with cheats, so I know it's theoretically possible, but other than that no actual attempt in a run was as lucky. If I fail to do it within a couple of days I'll make a tutorial on YouTube. It's a potential save of 30-45 seconds.

That cool to hear good luck on that skip.
